CSPP GCOM-W1 AMSR-2 Algorithm Software Package (GAASP) Version 1.0.2 Release 8 May 2023 Patch to the CSPP software package that supports Level 2 products created from the Global Change Observation Mission-Water (GCOM-W1) AMSR2 instrument. The GCOM-W1 AMSR2 Algorithm Software Package (GAASP) was developed by NOAA/NESDIS/STAR, and is designed to create Level 2 science products from input AMSR2 Level 1B and Level 1R inputs. This patch fixes a problem that occurs when running the CSPP GAASP Precipitation Component. The GAASP was rolled out at NOAA in two phases defined by Day 1 and Day 2 product sets. Day 1 products were available starting in November 2015 and consist of (1) bias-corrected Microwave Brightness Temperatures (MBT), (2) Precipitation (land and ocean rain rates), and (3) the following Ocean EDRs: GHR Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Sea Surface Winds (SSW), Total Precipitable Water (TPW), and Cloud Liquid Water (CLW). Day 2 products were available September 27, 2016 and consist of the following land/ocean surface EDRs: Soil Moisture, Surface Type, Snow Cover, Snow Depth, Snow Water Equivalent, and Sea Ice. CSPP GAASP (NOAA version v2r2) has been adapted to run in a near real-time environment by providing a convenient command-line interface allowing the generation of one or more of the Day 1 and Day 2 products, for single or multiple SDR input files. CSPP-GAASP includes binary executable files, wrapper scripts and supporting static data files. Ingest and staging of any required dynamic ancillary data is handled automatically by CSPP-GAASP. A separate test data package can be downloaded for verifying a successful installation.
