Change log for e-suite (fnyp)


The MACC NRT e-suite (experiment fnyp) was started on 2012-03-21 for the analysis cycle 20111201. This e-suite replaces the previous one (flv2) and includes new scaled CO emissions as well as many improvements to the aerosol model. Main features are:

  • runs in near-real-time
  • 120 h long forecast from 00UTC
  • IFS cycle 37R3
  • Coupled to Mozart V3.5
  • MACCity anthropogenic emissions - scaled over North America and Europe
  • GFASv1.0 fire emissions
  • IFS model resolution T255L60
  • CTM resolution 1.125 degrees x 1.125 degrees, L60
  • analysis resolution T159/T95, using 12h 4D-Var and VarBC
  • time period 20111201 -
  • Blacklist: black_ds_macc_nrt_37r3
  • branch: stj_CY37R3_MACC_NRT_aer_CO

Changes introduced during production affecting the quality of the products

real date exp date description of change
20120321 2011120100 Start of e-suite
20120321 20120221 MLS instrument offline after suspected Single Event Upset event that shut down the on-board computer at 18:39UTC on Sunday 19th February 2012. The current plan is for the instrument to return to normal science operations around Friday February 24th 2012. No data will be available during this period.
20120321 20120315 NO MLS data. AURA MLS Instrument has encountered an anomaly as of DOY 074 1834z and MLS has been off since 14/03. Due back on 21/03 according to JPL website
20120322 2012032200 MLS back. MLS Instrument has been stored to "Nominal" scan mode and it is now back on-line.
MLS Level 2 NRT Data are available again starting from 2012-03-21 18:10.
20120330 20120330 NO IASI CO data between ~14:00 - 21.00 because of problems with LATMOS data server.
20120321 2011120100 Replacement of flv2 with fnyp. Purpose of change was to have improved aerosol model and scaled CO emissions over North America and Europe.
20120416 20120408 No Envisat data (e.g. SCIAMACHY, MIPAS) since 8 April after contact with satellite was lost.
20120416 20120423 No IASI CO data. The IASI CO NRT processing will stop Monday, 23 April at 7 UTC because of a power outage. If all goes well, this will only last 48 to 72 hours and data will come back on Wednesday, 25 April.
20120423 2012031500 Switched off verify jobs, because there is still a problem with retrieving Z from MARS when NOx is there as well.
