Description

BAS to provide support for the following tasks: • Finalise restructuring of the codebase into separate repos to primarily address the security risks related to private repos. • Determine minimum testing requirements and implement tests, particularly for vulnerability/patching purposes and integration tests. • Implement displays of Galileo and Sentinel-6 data for MEO orbits. • Implement real-time displays of protons and electrons from MetOp01 and MetOp03 satellites in LEO to provide displays of data across the whole radiation belt and for comparison against BAS-RBM: integral electron flux, maps of electron counts, differential proton flux, integral proton flux, maps of counts for protons. • Implementation of proton/electron contamination removal algorithm for MetOp and displays of cleaned electron/proton fluxes - removal of proton contamination from MetOp electron channels E1, E2, E3, display real-time cleaned electron counts, display real-time differential electron flux, display real-time maps of cleaned counts for protons. • Provide support for customer engagement activities (primarily MOSWOC) to further refine visualisations. • Implement Dictat for Navstar. • Support for verification work to be done at the Met Office though regular discussions. • Support for versioning of elements in codebase such as diffusion coefficients.
