CSPP Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Oceans (ACSPO) Software Version 2.0 Release
28 October 2021
The University of Wisconsin CSPP team is releasing a new version of the
NOAA/STAR Advanced Clear-Sky Processor for Oceans (ACSPO) software for
retrieving sea surface temperature from direct broadcast (DB) AVHRR,
MODIS and VIIRS imagers.
ACSPO development is led by Alexander Ignatov of the NOAA/NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications
and Research (STAR). This CSPP release was created in close collaboration with Yury Kihai at STAR.
This CSPP release (CSPP_ACSPO v2.0) is an implementation of NOAA ACSPO version 2.80 for AVHRR, MODIS and
VIIRS, adapted and tested for operation in a real-time direct broadcast environment. The software
contains binary executable files and supporting static data files.
What's New in CSPP_ACSPO v2.0?
- The algorithm versions have been updated for all sensors (AVHRR, MODIS, VIIRS) to ACSPO v2.80, packaged and delivered as CSPP_ACSPO V2.0.
- Added support for Metop-C AVHRR.
- NOAA missions with AVHRR aboard (NOAA-15,16,17,18,19) are no longer supported.
- Implementation and deployment is now done through a Singularity container; therefore a recent version of Singularity is now a system requirement.
- The wrapper language used by the CSPP team has changed from Perl to R.
- Environment variables associated with this package have been expanded.
- Command line options and syntax have changed.
Supported Satellites and Sensors List:
System Requirements for the CSPP_ACSPO v2.0 Software:
- Singularity version 3.7.3 or above.
- Intel or AMD CPU with 64-bit instruction support.
- 8 GB RAM.
- CentOS-7 64-bit Linux (or other compatible 64-bit Linux distribution).
- 2.5 GB of disk space (plus space for your own DB data and CSPP_ACSPO products).
ACSPO Output Formats:
- The CSPP ACSPO software generates two NetCDF4 output product files, which contain
similar information. The two files are a result of continuing a legacy format, with file
names like this:
- ACSPO-VIIRS_v2-80_n20_s20210525183420_e20210525184707_c202109221835220.nc.
- ACSPO-FRAC_v2-80_metopc_s20210525024228_e20210525025504_c202109221830080.nc
- ACSPO-MODIS_v2-80_terra_s20210525170849_e20210525171954_c202109221832290.nc
- and the addition of a GSD2 format, following a set of conventions specified by the
Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST). GSD2 examples filenames are listed below:
- 20210525183420-CSPP-L2P_GHRSST-SSTskin-VIIRS_N20-ACSPO_V2.80-v02.0-fv01.0.nc
- 20210525024228-CSPP-L2P_GHRSST-SSTskin-AVHRRF_MC-ACSPO_V2.80-v02.0-fv01.0.nc
- 20210525170849-CSPP-L2P_GHRSST-SSTskin-MODIS_T-ACSPO_V2.80-v02.0-fv01.0.nc
Complete installation, execution and product information is included with the release.
