  1. Non-NOAA SATELLITE ACTIVITIES Gene Legg Office of Satellite Data Processing And Distribution Asia Pacific Satellite Data Exchange and Utilization Meeting Honolulu, HI, September 20-22, 2006

  2. NOAA Requirements for Non-NOAA Satellite Data • Meet NOAA’s global observing needs not otherwise supported • Enhanced operations using improved data • “Risk Reduction” for planning future NOAA satellites • Near Real Time Access to Data • Global Coverage Selection Criteria:

  3. Status of Non-NOAA Satellite Activities • Receiving raw Terra (MODIS) and Aqua (AIRS, MODIS, AMSR-E) data in real time from NASA • Receiving raw QuikSCAT (SeaWINDS) data in real time from NASA • Receiving TRMM products from NASA in near real time • Receiving JASON-1 products from NASA/JPL • Receiving WindSAT EDRs from FNMOC Selection Criteria:

  4. Status of Non-NOAA Satellite Activities • MODIS Processing (Aqua and Terra) • L1B (radiance) products and L2 (ocean color, SST) produced within 3-4 hours of observation in HDF • AIRS Processing (Aqua, HSB failed) • AIRS thinned data sets (300 channels) produced within 3 hours of observation, in BUFR • Full resolution data sets in HDF • AMSR-E Processing (Aqua) • Level 1B (Brightness Temperatures) in BUFR • Level 2 (Geophysical Products) in HDF • SeaWINDS Processing (QuikSCAT) • 25km resolution MGDR products (in BURF) produced within 3 hours of observation • WindSAT Processing (Coriolis) • Processing Provided by FNMOC • NOAA investigating algorithm modifications and NRT processing • JCSDA working on BUFR for WindSAT Selection Criteria:

  5. AMSR-E Brightness Temperatures

  6. QuikSCAT 25KM Descending

  7. QuikSCAT 12.5KM Descending

  8. QuikSCAT Ice Product, Antarctica

  9. WindSat Data Availability Data products will be accessible via the NASA/JPL Physical Ocean Data Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) NRT products generated at FNMOC, available from NOAA NOAA considering NRT production

  10. WindSat Data Records • Accessible Environmental Data Record Products • Wind Vectors (speed and direction) • Sea Surface Temperature • Total Precipitable Water Vapor • Integrated Cloud Liquid Water • WindSat Sensor Data Records also Accessible • calibrated brightness temperatures Preliminary Examples of Prototype Wind Vector Products from NRL

  11. WindSat Observes Hurricane Ivan September 9, 2004

  12. WindSat Data Portal http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/windsat Currently, only researchers approved by the WindSat Program have access to data records; forthcoming website modifications will provide for general access

  13. Future Plans for Non-NOAA Satellite Activities Terra/Aqua • Expand MODIS product suite • Provide full resolution (2100 channel) soundings from AIRS • Expand AMSR-E microwave products • Re-host system to LINUX Aura • Ozone profiles from OMI • HIRDLS applications WINDSAT • Work with NRL Science Team on Algorithm Improvements Selection Criteria:
