GOES-R AWG Product Processing System Framework: Near Real-Time Product Generation

GOES-R Algorithm Working Group's (AWG) Product Processing System Framework is currently being run in near real-time to support algorithm verification and validation over extended seasonal datasets. The algorithms are being tested using a variety of data, including: MODIS, SEVIRI, and WRF ABI Simulated data. The AWG Integration Team (AIT) has developed a suite of tools to monitor product quality, product processing, and system performance for the near real-time product generation. The product monitoring tools check trends in the metadata to ensure that the product quality has not been degraded. The product processing tool tracks the status of the processing from data ingest to output file production, and the system performance tool gathers timing and other relevant information about the resources being used in the processing. The design details of the near real-time algorithm product generation system, monitoring tools, and future plans shall be discussed.
