The Microwave Integrated Retrieval System (MIRS) aims to upgrade the NESDIS current operational Microwave Surface and Precipitation Products System (MSPPS) and build a one-stop shop for microwave products from various satellites with different instrumental configurations. With the capability of providing optimal and physically-based retrievals of atmospheric and surface state parameters, the MIRS will produce advanced near-real-time surface and precipitation products in all-weather and over all-surface conditions using brightness temperatures from the microwave instruments, which include AMSU-A and AMSU-B/MHS instruments on board of NOAA and EUMETSAT polar orbiting satellites, SSMIS on DMSP polar satellites and ATMS on NPP. Its operational products include: vertical profiles of temperature, moisture and hydrometeors, and also rain rate/snowfall rate, total precipitable water, cloud liquid water, snow cover, snow water equivalent, sea ice concentration, ice water path, surface emissivity spectra and land surface temperature total 12 products. These products will be made available to users with different types (orbital, granule/Area of Interests, daily, monthly) and formats (Binary, HDF-EOS/HDF, BUFR, NetCDF, McIDAS and AWIPS). The MIRS retrospective data can be acquired from the National Climatic Data Center and the Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System.
Provided here is a web tool for monitoring the product quality, accuracy and timeliness. The program checks to see if the application is being run efficiently, and products are generated and distributed to users in a timely manner. A status report is generated for each processing modules in the MIRS application in a real-time mode, so any potential problem can be promptly identified and corrected in time. Monitoring the product generation latency is another primary objective here for providing quality service to the real-time users.
