Trend Monitoring and in-flight Calibration Facility (TMCF) Product Generation Executive (PGE) list

In the Trend Monitoring and in-flight Calibration Facility (TMCF) Product Generation Executive (PGE) software modules are operational. A PGE is a software module that uses data from the TMCF database or level-1b radiance data as produced by the OMI Ground Data Processing Software (GDPS) and performs specific analysis tasks on those data. The PGE output is stored in the TMCF database, along with its metadata. PGE output can be used as input for other PGE's.
Below a list of all PGE's currently active in the TMCF is given.
