[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #89545] History for additional functionality of regrid_data_plane using NESDIS ADP product

[John Halley Gotway via RT]

----------------------------------------------------------------
  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

To Whom It May Concern:

MET+ had developed a re-grid tool to map GOES-16 pixel AOD obs to any grid
specified by user, called regrid_data_plane.  We have tested it on NGAC
output and it successfully generated corresponding NGAC AOD gridded
output.  This would satisfy basic needs for total AOD verification.

For transition HYSPLIT smoke verification to METplus, we need information
from another NESDIS product, aerosol derived product, ADP file.  The ADP
file includes aerosol, smoke and dust masks of each observed pixel for user
to separating total AOD to smoke AOD, dust AOD and others AOD.  Each masks
come with quality flag to help users to manage the quality of data of
observation.  Attached is the GOES-16 ADP read instruction from NESDIS
aerosol team for your reference.

NCEP/EMC AQ group asks METplus group to add additional function to tool
"regrid_data_plane" to read in ADP and AOD data together so we can filter
out unwanted data (pixel by pixel). I will supply sample ADP file (netCDF4
just like AOD file) and work with your staff  to improve the functionality
of " regrid_data_plane".

Thank you for your attention.

p.s. I have run it through Jason Levit before this submission.

Hello Ho-Chun,

This is great info.  Thanks for providing the write-up.  We are
currently
working on development for met-8.1 but won't be able to include this
in
that release.  I did use the info you sent to create a new development
issue for met-9.0.  Once we're able to add support for this in met-
9.0,
we'll get you a beta version to test out.

I'll go ahead and resolve this issue for now.  But we'll probably have
more
questions when we start on this.

Thanks,
John
