ICDS Sim - Status

• Code written to replace ICDS pseudo data with simulator inputs (Joel Gales)– Scatterometer– Radiometer– Telemetry– Time

• ICDS at JPL undergoing update to match newest Telemetry Dictionary– Our simulator input telemetry will need to match this as well

• Alex Murray has agreed to compile new ICDS version with new simulator input options and send the code to GSFC
