EOS TerraMODIS Land Processingand Distribution Overview Joseph M Glassy, Director, MODIS Software Development at NTSG School of Forestry, Numerical Terradynamics Simulation Group University of Montana, Missoula Montana USA
Introduction • Goal: • describe overall MODIS Processing sequence for Land Product suite from instrument to user • summarize MODIS distribution flows
Generalized Data Flow • Terra Platform / MODIS Instrument to… • EDOS/White Sands ground station • Reston, Virginia, Level 0 ingest • Goddard DAAC: L0, L1, L1B processing • Goddard MODIS Adaptive Processing System (MODAPS) for Level 2, 3, 4 • EROS Data Center DAAC - product ingest • EDC Distribution via Web EOS Data Gateway
EOS Terra Overview • MODIS: Moderate Resolution imaging spectroradiometer: 36 channel, 3 nested resolutions {250m,500m,1km}, for daily land, atmosphere, oceans global products • MISR: Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer. 4 color, multi-angle emphasis • MOPPITT: Canadian; measures atmospheric pollution • CERES: (Clouds and Earth’s radiance system) measures top-of-atmosphere cloud, energy analysis • ASTER: Japan; Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer. Emphasis: high resolution, local & regional earth imagery in 14 colors
EOS Distributed Information SystemEOS-DIS Components • EOSDIS Distributed Active Archive Centers • EOSDIS Flight Operations Segment • EDOS: EOS Data and Operations Segment • SDPS: Science Data Processing Segment • SIPS: Science Investigator-led Processing Segment • SDVF: Software Development and Validation Facility
Role of Science Compute Facilities(like Univ. Montana SCF) • PI led, responsible for algorithm S/W development, test, maintenance • SCF algorithms routed to NASA for integration • Perform near real time Quality Assurance (QA) • Participate in global, regional Validation activities • Network: Abilene DS-3 connectivity • “Lite” hardware relative to DAACs
Science Compute FacilityResources • Network: Abilene DS-3 connectivity to GSFC and to Eros Data Center EDC DAAC • Hardware configuration is “lite” relative to Team Leader Compute Facility and MODAPS • SCF System Concept: a flow directed, segmented architecture to enhance net through-put
MODIS At A Glance • Software lines of code: 377,680, just for Production Generation Executables (PGEs) • MODIS data volumes: ca 665 Gb / day… • ca 931 MODIS ESDTs, of which ca 50 are Land products... • Land mask defines (ca 270) 10-deg tiles, each 1200x1200 pixels (388,800,000 pixels/ESDT) • Production uses new Integerized Sinusoidal grid...
