O&M for OLR-Monthly and OLR-Daily Climate Data Records

2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Background

This is a continuing project for OLR CDR products.  Being in the Initial Operational Capability (IOC) phase of both the OLR-Monthly and OLR-Daily CDR products, CICS is responsible for the continued development and maintenance of these products before Full Operational Capability (FOC) is attained. Both the Monthly and Daily OLR CDR data are operationally generated and delivered to NCEI as well published on CICS OLR CDR web site for public access in near real-time. Quality assurance and quality control mechanisms have been developed and applied.
