Modify available channels file to completely turn off MetOp-A IASI #65

Closed gmao-msienkie closed 2 years ago

gmao-msienkie commented 2 years ago

Modified the available_channels.tbl file to set the end date for MetOp-A IASI as the same date where it was turned off in the active_channels.tbl file

I don't have any problem to merge it into develop branch. And the only thing I am not sure is if we would need this for the next release.

Information about MetOp-A IASI termination can be found on the geos5.org radiance monitoring page https://geos5.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:GEOS-5_ADAS_Radiance_Monitoring#MetOp-A_IASI_outage_-_Technology_Test.2C_end_of_MetOp-A_IASI_assimilation The modification to 'available_channels.tbl' to completely turn off MetOp-A IASI was made per a request by Ricardo because the data during the last technology test generated too many error messages "READ_IASI WARNING uncertainty in lza" even when the data is read in as passive - thus the decision to move the end date earlier to avoid the messages. The MetOp-A IASI instrument was finally switched off on October 15.

Yes, that is what we need.

However, I still don't see any where on this webpage to pull your change set into finish this PR. Box "Merge pull request" is not clickable to me. Maybe it requires a second "approving review"?

gmao-msienkie commented 2 years ago

maybe I've complicated things by putting the adas-gatekeepers in the 'review' request and I don't know how to undo that. Sorry about that. I know that Ricardo has been able to approve and merge my changes from this branch before.
