12 Aug 2004 Agenda

morning

• Frew
• Dozier
• Xiande Meng (UCM)
• Rice
• Nolin
• Bales
• Painter
• JC
• Slaughter
• Rosenthal
• Colee
• Ling Mei Jiang (UCSB)

• agreement on AVHRR and MODIS product generation
• ES3: science interfaces
• ES3: product interfaces
  • what are reasonable requests? what should we encourage?
• frame datasets

• peter DAG
  • local vs remote (data pool) collections
  • brief look at Jordan client
  • "bucket" metadata: min. needed for searching
    • TODO: collection metadata
    • TODO: decide on NoARSE buckets and constraints
• tom DAG
  • reprojection
    • modis reprojection tool
      • standalone command-line tool
      • emits single-channel float imgs
    • merge
      • IDL script
      • emits multi-channel 16-bit int image
  • can we do the reproject/merge step at EIL?
    • on-demand?
      • what would the interface look like?
    • IDEA: custom ADL collection for Tom
      • use same framework that creates the local MODIS collections
      • general case: local collections for important intermediate products
  • MODIS
  • modscag
    • each job runs 56 modscags
    • each run emits 8 outputs
  • modsort
    • composites all modscag job outputs into 8 outputs
      • % endmembers: snow, rock, veg, other
      • grainsize
      • shade
      • result mask
      • rms error of selected model
• EIL provides: [the MODIS products Tom wants]
  • spatial: Sierra & Rio Grande boxes
    • crop or pad to fit
  • temporal: all daylight scenes
    • Terra and Aqua
  • rectification
    • RG: USA_Contiguous_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic_USGS_version
    • Sierra: Teale Albers
• Tom returns:
  • xCA for x = {snow, veg, rock, other}
  • grain size
  • albedo
  • rmse
  • model mask

lunch (UCen)

afternoon

• evaluate empirical SCA:SWE relationship
  • make Dozier able to run Walter algorithm
  • this is for our own use, not as a public product
  • ~20 years x ~6 scenes/Sierra
  • TODO: Walter give SCA pgm to Dozier

• current AMSR-E algorithm is the shits
  • spatial heterogeneity
  • vertical het. (forest)
• refining the JC model
  • need 2 freqs @ 2 polarizations
  • no products yet
    • (give him 2 years and lots of money...)

• shuttle beauty show
• new cluster will be ready ~mid-Sep

• colleague could use AVHRR SCA time series for climate studies
  • (discussion: this is a generic problem: lots of people want to do these kinds of studies)

• EIL provides: calibrated rectified AVHRR + sensor/solar geom
  • spatial: Sierra & Rio Grande boxes
    • crop or pad to fit
  • temporal: all daylight scenes
  • calibration: space radiance/BT
  • rectification
    • RG: USA_Contiguous_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic_USGS_version
    • Sierra: Teale Albers
• Walter provides:
  • xCA for x = {snow, veg, rock, other}
  • badness-of-fit

dinner (Rose Cafe)

• 13
