The Algorithm Development Library (ADL) version 3.0 has been released recently (https://jpss-adl-wiki.ssec.wisc.edu/mediawiki). ADL is a software package that is intended to provide the science community a simple method (tool) for testing and evaluating algorithms to be used in the Integrated Data Processing Segment (IDPS) of the Common Ground System for the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program. ADL 3.0 has been installed and configured to run on the Intel PowerEdge R900 server on Linux platform at NOAA/NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR). In particular, the Ocean Color and Chlorophyll (OCC) EDR algorithms have been initially reviewed and tested, and the test outputs were compared with the outputs delivered with the ADL package. In this presentation, we describe our efforts for testing and evaluating the ADL VIIRS Ocean Color software component. Specifically, we present the findings in our preliminary system/code review and testing, including the OCC-EDR input/output specifications, a flow chart showing the ocean color data processing, and some detailed comparisons between our test outputs and the outputs from the ADL package. An outline of our future activities on OCC-EDR work using ADL will also be discussed.
