This document summarizes the change reports for the ATD-2 V3.1.x series of software releases to Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT). These list all the changes since the previous release. The Release Notes for Distribution are meant to be more readable by stakeholders. [Includes updates to changes for RTC (Ramp Traffic Console), Scheduler, STBO (Surface Trajectory-Based Operations), and Surface Metering Display (graphical-user interface, GUI) clients.]
This release note discusses the science data products produced by the Science Processing Operations Center at Ames Research Center from Sector 11 observations made with the TESS spacecraft and cameras as a means to document instrument performance and data characteristics.
These Data Release Notes provide information on the processing and export of data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). This data release is a combined, multi-sector transit search only. The underlying data products from individual observing sectors have been previously released. The data products included in this data release are the Data Validation (DV) reports, time series, and associated xml les for the threshold crossing events (TCEs) found by searching a combined data set including data from multiple observing sectors. These data products were generated by the TESS Science Processing Operations Center (SPOC, Jenkins et al., 2016) at NASA Ames Research Center from data collected by the TESS instrument, which is managed by the TESS Payload Operations Center (POC) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The format and content of these data products are documented in the Science Data Products Description Document (SDPDD)1. The SPOC science algorithms are based heavily on those of the Kepler Mission science pipeline, and are described in the Kepler Data Processing Handbook (Jenkins, 2017)2. The Data Validation algorithms are documented in Twicken et al. (2018) and Li et al. (2019). The TESS Instrument Handbook (Vanderspek et al., 2018)3 contains more information about the TESS instrument design, detector layout, data properties, and mission operations. The TESS Mission is funded by NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

A conceptually and mathematically concise formula for computing the solar azimuth angle has been used by a subgroup of scientists, but for lack of documentation and publication, it has not been well circulated. This note introduces this formula which is based on the idea of a unit vector, 𝑺, originating from the observer’s location and pointing toward the center of the Sun. The vector is completely determined by the coordinates of the subsolar point and of the observer. The x-and y-components of the vector determine the solar azimuth angle, and their use along with the function atan2, which is available in a number of programming/scripting languages, including Fortran and Python, renders any circumstantial treatment absolutely unnecessary. The z-component of the vector, at the same time, determines the solar zenith angle.
