| Abstract: |
Validation and Verification (V&V) data products are created on a per-Observation basis by a V&V pipeline. The pipeline is initiated by Automated Processing after completion of Level 2 processing for the observation. A V&V Manager/GUI receives notification when the V&V data products for an observation are available, and performs the management and display tasks needed to make the products available for review by the V&V scientist, notify relevant parties, and assign a disposition to the observation data. In this paper we review the automated preparation of V&V data in pipeline processing, the visual aids offered in the graphical display to identify data violations, identify pipeline warnings or errors, and recommend dispositions and courses of actions for many commonly anticipated predefined conditions. The disposition and triggers to distribute data to the user based on successful completion of V&V are highlighted. The system simplifies and speeds the review process, ensures that quality data reaches the observer and archive, and raises project awareness of issues with the data or processing software. |
