Numerical Model Generated Halifax Test Scenes for EarthCARE Pre-launch Studies - Part 1: Atmospheric and Surface Properties
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This first part of the dataset contains the atmospheric and surface conditions of Halifax test scene (39316D) used for pre-launch studies of EarthCARE’s retrieval algorithms and data management system. The data are produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada's Global Environmental Multi-scale (GEM) NWP model (Côté et al., 1998, Girard et al., 2014). The surface albedo climatology is based MODIS’s MCD43GF 1 km resolution bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) product for the period from 2002 to 2013 (Schaaf et al. 2002). Please refer to the second part of this dataset for the hydrometeor and aerosol properties. The Halifax test frame is 6200 km long and 200 km wide with horizontal grid-spacing of 250 km and 57 vertical layers. The simulation is initiated at 12h00 UTC on 07-Dec-2014 and saved at 17h30 UTC. This frame extends from southern Greenland, across extreme eastern Canada, and ends in the Atlantic Ocean roughly 500 km north of Dominican Republic. It includes night time over Greenland, cold surface air over eastern Canada, a cold-front with deep clouds just off the coast of Nova Scotia, and scattered shallow clouds between Bermuda and Dominican Republic.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
