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.

Legal Justification

The deliverables within the contract are associated with a model and code already developed and owned by the partner (supplier) to a specific maturity under the SWIMMR Programme. The academics hold the model code IPR and provide model access to Met Office and therefore are uniquely placed to provide these services to the Met Office. Delivery will 'accelerate' the model's development towards transition to operations within the Met Office Space Weather service. The purpose of the contract is to continue development of the models (which requires the 'deep expertise' of the model developer) and to transfer model and model code knowledge and expertise. In short, there is no other supplier for the work associated with the model.
