  2. What is LANCE? • LANCE was initiated by the NASA Flight, Research, and Applied Sciences Programs in order to ensure the availability of NASA satellite data products to those partners who have grown to rely upon NASA for data for their decision support systems. • LANCE will also provide a developmental processing capability for the prototyping of new and innovative NRT products to encourage the use of NASA technologies by new users. • LANCE has been implemented with a distributed approach and consists of Near-real-time systems that are managed by ESDIS and developed by the GES DISC, OMI SIPS, AMSR-E SIPS, MLS SIPS and MODAPS

  3. LANCE Overview • All LANCE data originates from the Terra, Aqua, and Aura spacecraft. • Terra provides MODIS data; Aqua provides MODIS, AMSR-E, and AIRS data; Aura provides OMI and MLS data. • Terra data is down-linked to White Sands, New Mexico via TDRSS • Aqua and Aura data are down-linked to the Polar Ground Stations (PGS) in Norway and Alaska. • Data from all three spacecraft are processed by the EOS Data and Operations System (EDOS) to Level 0 and distributed to LANCE in near-real-time typically within 85-130 minutes of observation. • EDOS generates 2 basic types of products: • Contact/Session Based Products (typically used for NRT processing) • Rate Buffered Data Sets (RBD) • Session Based PDS Data Sets (S-PDS) • Time Based Products (typically used for standard science processing) • Production Data Sets (PDS) • Expedited Data Sets (EDS)

  6. LANCE Data Access and Applications • LANCE Data Access • Data are provided by ftp access or by subscription • Short-term archives of at least 7 days are provided on the ftp servers • Data Products are freely available to registered users – a single username and password works for all LANCE resources • Each element currently provides User Support through existing resources • The LANCE website at http://lance.nasa.gov provides access to data and information concerning the element products including: • Performance Metrics • Browse Products • Algorithm versions and comparison of the near-real time products with the standard, science-quality products • The present application areas include: • Hurricanes, Volcanoes, Floods, Fires, Oil Spills, Dust Storms, Air Quality, Snow/Ice, and Weather • Present customers include: JPL, Langley, GSFC, NOAA, FNMOC, NAVO, NRLSSC, NRLMRY, AFWA, USGS, ECMWF, IMO, SSEC, UAH, METO, Brazil, Denmark

  9. LANCE Elements at GES DISC • Summary of Products • AIRS L1B (VIS/NIR radiances, microwave brightness temps) • AIRS L1B channel subsets available in BUFR • AIRS L2 (standard retrieval, cloud cleared radiances, support product) • AIRS images via WMS (VIS radiances, CO, Bt_diff_SO2, Dust score) • MLS L2 (Temperature, Ozone) • Metrics • Latency • Data available within 80-140 minutes of observation • 98% of data available within 3 hours of observation (average month) • Distribution • 150 – 200 K files per month • 0.8 – 1.2 TB per month

  10. Overview (2) • NRT versus Standard • AIRS • Version 5 algorithms running in both systems (same code) • Predicted ephemeris used in NRT system • MLS • MLS NRT Temperature and Ozone data lower quality than standard products • Streamlined L2 algorithm utilized to meet latency requirements • NRT products are 15 minute granules; standard products are daily files • Redundancy Status • Dual RBD feed from EDOS • Two servers for each function (acquisition, processing, distribution) • Data acquisition, processing servers on single UPS served by redundant PDUs • Distribution servers on separate UPSs served by redundant PDUs • All servers on a redundant network • Multiple firewalls, switches, routing) • Automated fault detection, manual failover • User Support • Help-disc@listserv.gsfc.nasa.gov • 301-614-5224

  12. User Registration • Initially all NRT data available via anon ftp • Implemented August 2010 • Users self register • Initially a hand full of NRT data users • Current • 54 registered users • 34 AIRS, 14 MLS, 1 Aqua ephemeris • Benefits • Usage metrics, timely dissemination of information • Issues • Clients (e.g., Panoply) can not authenticate with URS server • LDAP: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

  13. Future • Transition of GES DISC NRT web site to LANCE web site • Datacast feed for selected NRT products • Combined data/services available from Rapid Response System • Ex: AIRS, OMI, MODIS  volcanic activity • MLS product quality improvements, additional water vapor product • AIRS Version 6 in LANCE AIRS • Performance vs product quality
