    Hello,
    I am wondering if support for the microwave instrument on AWS PFM will be added to AAPP.
    Thanks!

    Yes, this is planned. I have added a paragraph at https://nwp-saf.eumetsat.int/site/software/aapp/future-plans/

    Just to follow up on this, we operate two direct broadcast antennas in Alaska, and the Alaska weather community is very interested in the data from AWS PFM. We are working with our antenna’s manufacturer to receive the DB signal and have some questions about what formats the processing software expects. What is the best way to ask these questions? Thanks!

    Jay,

    Sorry, I didn’t see your question at the time. We are still waiting for ESA to provide a beta version of the level 1 processor for AWS PFM. We have a very old version from 2023 but I’m not sure how much it would help you.

    I suggest you get in touch with Adam Dybbroe from the group in Sweden (SMHI) who have already set up their systems and are eagerly awaiting the first direct broadcast data from AWS.

    Nigel
