Abstract

In this paper we describe the current maturity status of the Environmental Data Records (EDRs) from the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite. The maturity status is measured by the performance of the algorithm against the documented requirements as well as the level of validation effort accomplished. Overall, the products have reached performance levels allowing operational evaluation or implementation on operational applications. Further improvements are underway towards meeting the needs of the user community.
