The Evolution of a CDR:Proposed Systematic Program

On behalf ofThe Joint Agency Study on the Climate Impacts of
the Nunn-McCurdy NPOESS Certification

NRC Workshop on Recovery of Climate Measurements from NPOESS
CDR Status Quo
NASA, NOAA, USGS and other organizations have developed some CDRs as ad hoc research products (e.g., SST, Ozone, earth radiation budget)
Current investments (Approx. # of grants)
– NASA: ROSES’06 (A.15; Starting Fall 2007): 20– NOAA: CCDD (Stratified starts since 2004): 4– NOAA: SDS (Started Summer 2007): 7– Other activities indirectly supported through mission and
Research & Application Program investments
33Proposed Systematic CDR Program
NRC Workshop on Recovery of Climate Measurements from NPOESS
Future CDR Support Outlook
NASA, NOAA and USGS are studying the potential of NRC Decadal Survey missions to provide and/or advance CDRs– Post-mission funding of EOS-based products
not clear
CDR production, refinement, reprocessing is not in any operational agency budget
CDR storage (CLASS) and distribution (Data Centers) is not in NOAA budget

Joint-Agency CDR Program Goals
Incorporate NRC input Devise and cost an end-to-end program
– CDRs and Climate Information Records (CIRs)– Systematic and Coherent– Comprehensive (GCOS, IPCC, NRC, CCSP, etc.)– Sustainable – Stakeholder and Science Need-driven
Build on current investments and expertise– Interagency and International
Need systematic program for evolving CDRs

NRC Workshop on Recovery of Climate Measurements from NPOESS
Program Architecture
CDRs develop through overlapping Research (RM) and Operational Missions (OM)– Joint agency cooperation on all science & applications of each
mission
Research-to-Operations occurs as function of CDR maturity– Developed 6-Level Maturity Matrix to define path– Not all sensor products will become Level 6 CDRs– Research programs continue developing algorithm alternatives and
advancements to challenge “released” Level 6 CDRs
3 community groups coordinate and manage CDR evolution– Working Group: Science team plans and executes development of
CDR (1 per CDR subset)– CDR Science Advisory Board: Senior climate scientists review and
prioritize CDR planning and development– Steering Committee: Government senior scientists and managers
coordinate budgetary matters and research-to-operations transitions
77Proposed Systematic CDR Program

Core Activities in CDR Evolution
Sensor calibration and characterization Algorithm development and refinement
– Continuing incubation of algorithm alternatives that may eventual replace previous “standard”
Product (Re-)Processing– Research & Operational agencies co-generate
Maturity Level 3-4 products as part of transition– Assures transition readiness

Cost Estimation Approach
1. Notional CDR lifecycle provides schedule and activity breakdown– NASA historical cost data estimates cost/activity– Separate Research and Operational cost profiles
2. Algorithm maturity* determines relative year in notional CDR lifecycle
3. Production complexity* determines multiplier of notional cost profile
4. CDR “ramp-up” rate treated as independent variable– Required CDR prioritization strawman

Complexity Serves As Multiplier of Notional Cost Profile
Factors:
1) Number, quality & diversity of input streams
2) Resolutions (vertical, horizontal, temporal, spectral)
3) Algorithm complexity4) Algorithm outputs (#CDRs)5) Cal/Val complexity and cost

TCDR Prioritization Sample
etc. (28 CDR bundles in total)
CDR bundle is costing convenience to group CDRs typically produced from the same or similar algorithm(s).
Primary sensor is a costing convenience to associate each CDR with one and only one NPOESS era sensor. It is recognized that data from multiple satellite sensors, and in situ data, are often used to determine a CDR.
Significance to Global Change follows from a review of IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (2007).
In development: Based on NASA ROSES ’06 A.15 and NOAA SDS 2007 selections.
First launch considers only NPP/NPOESS era launches per the mandate of the NPOESS Climate Recovery activity.
State and Forcing variable bundles, as defined by CCSP Strategic Plan Chapter 12, are prioritized at a 1:1 ratio.

Working Definitions
Working Definitions of Climate Products for NASA-NOAA Discussion1) Climate Data Record (CDR): A Climate Data Record is a time series of measurements
of sufficient length, consistency, and continuity to determine climate variability and change [NRC, 2005]. CDRs typically use data from different satellites and sensors extending from present back to the beginning of the relevant satellite observation period. For the NPOESS Climate Capability Restoration objectives, CDRs satisfy three additional characteristics:
– CDRs are approved and prioritized by the CDR Science Advisory Team (TBD) composed of climate science leaders representing government, academia and industry; Group reviews of the CDR every 3-5 years to ensure it meets objectives and remains a priority or should be adjusted or sunsetted.
– CDRs’ geophysical retrieval algorithms, underlying theoretical bases, and heritage products are mature, validated and proven useful in downstream research and applications.
– A CDR wholly or partially satisfies provision of a CCSP Earth Climate System Observation or a GCOS Essential Climate Variable, acknowledging that these consensus lists will change with time.
2) A Climate Information Product is a time series derived from CDRs and related long-term measurements to provide specific information about an environmental phenomena of particular importance to science and society. CIRs are often designed to convey key aspects of complex environmental phenomena in a manner useful to a variety of applications of particular interest to certain stakeholder communities.
– Examples of NOAA CIRs include: El Nino Occurrence/Persistence/Magnitude, Antarctic Ozone Hole Area and Magnitude, Drought Indices and Occurrence/Persistence/Magnitude, Hurricane Intensity and Tracks, Residential Energy Demand Temperature Index, Various Drought Indices
