CSPP Geo GRB Version 0.1 Prototype Release

11 March 2015

Prototype release of the CSPP Geo GRB software that will allow Direct Broadcast users to process GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) data received on their antennas from the GOES-R satellite, after it is launched in 2016.

The main functionality included in this release is to ingest a simulated GRB data stream, recover Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 1 and Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Level 2 data payloads, reconstruct the datasets, and write output to mission-standard NetCDF files. Optionally, quicklook images can be generated from the ABI radiances.

Later releases will add support for recovering data from the remaining GOES-R instruments: SUVI, EXIS, MAG and SEISS.

System requirements:

  • 12 core, 2.4 GHz CPU with 64-bit instruction support,
  • 32 GB RAM (minimum),
  • CentOS 6 64-bit Linux (or other compatible 64-bit Linux distribution),
  • 100 GB disk space (minimum).
