GOES-R
Product and Algorithm Development
Al Powell and Mitch Goldberg
Why a Govt-led Product and AlgorithmTeam?
• Lessons-learned indicated the need for greater involvement from the government, academic communities and the commercial sector for algorithm development, applications and other aspects of data processing.
• Experience has shown that algorithm development and selection needs to be inclusive so that the best solution(s) is determined from several approaches.
Algorithm Working Group (AWG)
The government-led AWG, chaired by ORA, will• broker and select algorithms from among government,
academic and commercial sources,
• support the prototyping and demonstration of algorithm performance including algorithm/product meta-data generation techniques, standards, and formats,
• provide algorithm software, documentation, test data sets, and benchmarks as potential solutions for the product generation functions,
• review and assess applicable GOES Incident Reports (GIRs)

GOES-R3
Collaborative Environment
• IT Infrastructure Team Met for a Week in May 05– Varied Attendees (CIs. ORA, Commercial)– Basic agreement on a design– Basic concurrence on procedures & methods
• Report being drafted– Available in late June
• Plan to run pilot or demonstration capability in the office starting this summer– Purpose: to test before we ‘buy-in’
• Project will ‘touch’ more than ORA• VERY POSITVE FEEDBACK FROM THE
GROUP!
GOES-R Planning
• Asked by OSD to ‘dovetail’ GOES-R3 plan into the AWG Plan– In the works – coordinating with Paul Menzel– Hope to have this worked out in the near-term– Currently working schedule & requested changes
• OSD asked to delete the ‘education and outreach’• Menzel concurred (one exception, $50K)• Details TBD
– Additional changes may be on the horizon• OSD should provide additional guidance• In the interim, ORA is working on the program
Ground Systems Funds
• Changing our approach to spending ground systems fund
• Must comply with regulations for expenditures• These are not ‘science projects’• Guidelines to sending hardware funds to
universities being reviewed• Asked the leads at each of the CIs to provide a
list of projects for consideration• All existing projects should have terminated this
year per Paul Chang’s guidance the last couple of years.
Performance Metrics
• Looking for CI metrics from you
• Would like to see what you propose
• Additional guidance slow to come– Let’s develop a set and start to move forward– Let’s agree they’re useful to the CIs and ORA
Publications Policy
• Last year a publications policy was announced with disclaimer statement required
• Haven’t noticed a significant change– Have you? If so, in what way?
• Reviews of publications is going fairly well– Occasional ‘hic-cups’ in timing
• Want to add a method of tracking to the ORA IT Infrastructure
Proposal Policy
• Noticed a number of folks submitting proposals with ORA being just a data provider– ORA must perform some ‘science analysis’ to
participate in the future– Don’t think this affects the CIs– Just for your information
CI Proposals to ORA
• Prioritized List of topics -- Was it helpful?
• Need more coordination with funding sources – too many revisions
• Seem to have an issue with funding amounts changing and proposals being send back for update– Suggestions on how to improve this?
ORA Operations Manual
• Will list internal procedures for ORA staff & personnel
• Will include a variety of topics• To be posted on the web• In the final stages of review• New items for government:
– Telework (will not be allowed at CIs – approval by exception only)
– New Travel Comp Time Regulations
Roadmaps and Other
• Closing in on:– Overarching roadmap– Working division roadmaps
• Recent division roadmap decision– Roadmap (approx 30 pages and focus on direction)– Biennial Review (current work status, every two
years)
• Third generation Research Project Plans (RPPs) – Should be put on the web by the end of the summer
