We are still on track for to a two-part post-launch test or
PLT of HRIT/EMWIN. We will do the first part from the CBU on June 6-8 (where
there will be CMI imagery for 23 hrs June 6-7 and all other products the whole
time) and [b] from WCDAS on June 13 -15 with a more or less full suite of data
content including the CMI imagery.
To make this test "successful", we would like to
get some feedback from our partners, manufacturer community and users. We would
like to receive relevant metrics and feedback during and after the test
periods. A draft list of input is below. Please let me know if you would like
to participate either formally with a report or with anecdotal testimony. If
you are uncomfortable with any aspect of the list below, let me know what you
can perform. Please pass this on to anyone else you may know about and ask them
to contact me if they are interested.
I am especially interested in the usability of the CMI
imagery and the EMWIN file-based data which is a large change from the GOES-NOP
format.

Pre-test:
o Confirm readiness to receive HRIT signal, and
provide point of contact info
o Provide info on receiver model and software to be
used.
o Provide info on the antenna size at your
installation
o Identify which products will be ingested and
evaluated.
o Prepare to provide quantitative and qualitative
feedback, such as:
counts of products received/ingested per type per time
interval
reports of anomalies (time-tagged)
·
During test:
o Confirm broadcast "lock" and quality of
signal
o Monitor broadcast reception; collect metrics on HRIT from
user system perspective
o Spot-check readability and usability of products
(indicate what times looked at). o Report anomalies or other immediate
feedback to HRIT POC, as appropriate
After each test:
o Follow-up on any discrepancies observed or
o As appropriate, sample/compare products received
via HRIT to quality of same available from another source.
o Send summary feedback and metrics for each test
period.
