Primary Reports • Cal/Val Plans – Detailed plans cleared by the IPO for release. • Complete product evaluation reports – These reports will be generated for the OMPS total column ozone product and OMPS ozone profile product approximately seven months into the ICV phase. They will summarize the results of the internal and external investigations, and quantify the product performance relative to the requirements with stratification as described. Reports will identify issues arising in meeting requirements created by measurement complications (e.g., wavelength-scale variations or stray light signal contamination). The components of the studies used in these reports will be archived, i.e., the tools, programs and data, and documentation on the procedures. Supplemental reports will be provided as results merit. • Open access Web pages – Relevant information will be provided by creating Web pages for general access. They will be created and populated with graphs and statistical analysis pertinent to the OMPS data products. They will be designed for automated updates as products move into regular generation. The reference copy of the pages will live at the STAR domain under ICVS, but mirrors can be placed at other locations as desired. • Overpass match-up data sets – Data sets containing the OMPS products and the overpass match-up data sets will be available via anonymous ftp and on the JPSS system. These will be kept current with automated weekly updates from the latest OMPS processing. • User-feedback reports – Near the end of the ICV phase, we will report on the feedback obtained from assimilation users on the performance of the products, including biases in measurements versus forecast fields without the OMPS data sources, and identification of any difficulties in the application implementations.
