Description

AMSR2 is going to be decommissioned August 31, 2026 and AMSR3 is expected to be operational during July-August 2026.

For the GFSv17:

The work should be confined in this repository

  • Add a new AMSR3 obs space yaml in the jcb-gdas repository and update the commit in the release/gfs.v17 branch.
  • Use the AMSR2 converter to process the AMSR3 sea ice concentration retrieval

Anything beyond v17:

  • Add the same AMSR3 obs space yaml in the develop branch
  • The processing should be handle in obsForge
