The ROM SAF is pleased to announce that Spire data procured by NOAA, but made available under a global licence to EUMETSAT, and processed to Level 2 at the ROM SAF, are now available on the ROM SAF archive (https://www.romsaf.org/nrtpage.php?pubmode=pub). The products are provided with the status “demonstration”. Please also see the earlier ROM SAF announcement here:https://www.romsaf.org/view_notification.php?id=1877.
Products:
The ROM SAF Spire NRT products consists of the following geophysical variables:
Level 2A: refractivity, dry temperature (GRM-210, GRM-215)
Level 2B: temperature, humidity, pressure (GRM-211, GRM-212, GRM-213)
Level 2C: surface pressure (GRM-214)
In addition, the files include a copy of the EUMETSAT Secretariat Spire NRT bending angle (Level 1B) at vertical levels corresponding to those of the Level 2A products. The files are formatted as netCDF files, with a subset of the products formatted as BUFR.
Dissemination:
GTS: The ROM SAF BUFR files based on NOAA-procured Spire data are not made available on GTS.
EUMETCast: The BUFR files are disseminated on EUMETCast. Please see the EUMETSAT announcement here: https://www.eumetsat.int/noaa-procured-radio-occultation-data-eumetcast-soon.
Website: The ROM SAF netCDF and BUFR files are available at the ROM SAF product archive (https://www.romsaf.org/product_archive.php).
The archived NOAA-procured Spire data cover the time period from 7 June 2023 up to the present.
