NOAA-20 MiRS

This releasle extends MiRS v11r3 capability to provide NOAA-20 products.M-B All NOAA-20 MiRS products, except snowfall rate (SFR), have passed their provisional maturity review and have now been declared operational.M-B The NOAA-20 SFR is still in Beta, and itM-bM-^@M-^Ys operational declaration will occur sometime after it passes the provisional maturity review.


Although PDA short names remain the same as those of S-NPP, the MiRS IMG and SND files are updated to replace 'snppM-bM-^@M-^\ with "n20" as follows:

NPR-MIRS-IMG_v11r3_n20_* (PDA short name: MIRS_ATMS_IMG)

NPR-MIRS-SND_v11r3_n20_* (PDA short name: MIRS_ATMS_SND)

NPR-MIRS-IMG_33min_v11_n20_* (PDA short name: NPR-MIRS-IMG_33min_v11)

NPR-MIRS-SND_33min_v11_n20_* (PDA short name: NPR-MIRS-SND_33min_v11)
