Progress on Phase 1: Granule Module

•  Dan said that the coding is progressing well the code for the first intermediate MWD product should be ready next week. The next stage will be compositing all the raster files.
• Dan checked with Gand Gang and Ed that:
  • the MODAPS code will monitor when new granule is available and check the validity of the granule files
  • the memory use was within acceptable limits
  • MODAPS will call code when granules are ready
  • Python 3.5 is preferable to the older version currently being used. (Ed to check with SAs and will get back to Dan if there is an issue).
  • Greg's code, that Dan got a year ago is still OK. No significant updates were made that should be tested. Greg said they are looking at the offset again for GEOLOCO but it is OK for Dan to proceed with what he has.
• Dan asked about logging code: are there recommendations on standards / content? Gang to send these to Dan.
  
  

• Product naming

  • Asad has sent Dan naming conventions

  • Intermediate products not to be distributed; don’t need to follow the same naming requirements. Only the official products.

• Dan will provide code to Gang / Greg who will add a PGE wrapper and run the standard science tests, put it in an archive for validation. Then need to determine how to store / add to a database. This may take a couple of months.

   

• Providing flood alerts

  • Greg asked about the outputs with a view to setting up a flood alert system.
     
• Diane has been looking at requirements from the flood workshop and feedback from users Fritz contacted:
  • users want a one stop shop for flood products
    • Suggest adding the imagery in Wordview and having a feed that can be ingested in to a devoted flood product viewer.
    • Get updates on what is happening with the Dartmouth Flood Observatory and their bid to have a "flood portal" and the ESRI NASA disasters portal being developed with ESRI" that David Green is funding.
  • Users often say products are not easy to understand: having historical data may help? and good explanations of what the data shows and doesn't show.
  • Users want automated polygon generation / product delivery
  • Users want to be able to provide feedback

• Gang Ye to send Dan recommendations for logging code
• Edward Masuoka to check with SAs re: python version. He will get back to Dan if the latest (ver 3.5) is not acceptable.
• Fritz to follow up on other flood portals / viewers to get a sense of what will be done and the likely timeline
• Dan Slayback to suggest naming conventions for flood products
