NOAA/NESDIS/STAR is taking the lead in the activities to develop, demonstrate and recommend pre-operational algorithms for the GOES-R Level 2 product systems. Fifteen GOES-R Algorithm Working Group (AWG) teams have been formed to select the specialty area algorithms and develop the corresponding product generation systems. The Algorithm Integration Team (AIT) is building a framework that can process all the GOES-R Level 2 products. The framework being built will be used to test the algorithms individually as well as a complete system with all products. To assure the quality of the products and performance of the system meeting the requirements, tools for monitoring the system and visualizing the products are being developed based on our experience from AIRS and IASI, integrating with other existing tools for GOES products. In this presentation we will describe how AIT will evaluate AWG Level 2 Product Processing System usage, as well as how to monitor, verify, and validate the AWG products. The plan and strategy to compare and integrate products from different satellite platforms will also be addressed.
