  12. GHRSST Processing System Data Products

  13. GHRSST Processing System Data Products • Level 2 Preprocessed data (L2P) • Level 2 data from each sensor in a standard netcdf format that has complete error statistics associated with each sensor. • High Resolution Diagnostic Data Sets (HR-DDS) • L2P data extracted in given predefined boxes to be used for validation studies. All data from different sensors co-located on common grid.

  14. GHRSST Processing System Data Products Using AIRS Data Within the GHRSST-PP • Recommended data products for Near Real-time SST fields • L2 SST, Cloud Fraction, Internal SST Error Estimate (rms uncertainty) • Recommended data products for GHRSST-PP Diagnostic Data Studies • IR Spectral Radiance and Cloud-Cleared RadianceL2, L3 SST • Boundary layer moisture/temperature (total column and layered) • Surface emissivity • Cloud fraction and cloud-top pressure • Cloud flags (including aerosol) Source: Denise Hagan, JPL

  15. GHRSST Processing System Data Products • Example of Single Sensor Error Characterization for AIRS based on comparison with shipboard in situ MAERI data (Caribbean): Mean Bias (N=120) Map of Global Sites for GHRSST Diagnostic Data Sets RMS (N=120) Source: Denise Hagan, JPL – AIRS Valuable Reference Sensor for GHRSST Diagnostic Data Sets and SST Error Assessment

  16. GHRSST Processing System Data Products • Level 4 Merged Analyzed SST products • 10km global product (Remote Sensing Systems) • 2 km very high resolution regional products, including areas such as the Mediterranean

  17. GHRSST Processing System - OCEANIDS • Autonomous data stream ingest, management and distribution • Built-in redundancy • GUI for monitoring data flows • Provides instant anomaly messaging to DAAC operators • Manage over 50 data streams (50,000 files/month – 1 TB/month) • OCEANIDS is enabling the DAAC to work with near real time data streams and serve customers such as COOS and IOOS.

  19. GHRSST Processing System – Data Volumes

  20. Two types of metadata records based on NASA DIF format: Data Set Record (DSD): Information common to all files (i.e., same sensor, data center etc.) Static: Generally prepared once for each data set File Record (FR): File specific information (e.g., parameter, time and space etc.) Dynamic: Prepared on a file-by-file basis by each Regional Data Assembly Center (RDAC) Both types integrated into a relational database: the Master Metadata Repository (MMR). GHRSST Data Management Master Metadata Repository

  21. GHRSST Data Management Master Metadata Repository RDAC submission meta metadata repository [Perl scripts] Pass QA Parse meta [QA check] Create/update/modify mySQL tables [SQL] GDAC submission Fail QA – return to source Metadata queries by external user

  22. GHRSST Data Management Matchup Database (MDB) • Record of in situ/satellite matchups from buoys and other in situ platforms • Source for satellite sensor error statistics • Not an explicit metadata record but captures actual data (5x5 grids of matchup information) • These databases will facilitate the data discovery of multiple satellite platforms and products for the customer

  23. GHRSST Data Management Matchup Database (MDB) Matchups from Pathfinder SST • 1996-1999 • 1985-1988

  30. NOAA-NASA SignificanceWhy is all of this important? • SST fundamental parameter for understanding climate change. New generation of SSTs used in data assimilation must come with full error characterizations. • Directly related to NASA’s Earth Science Enterprise Focus themes. Includes: • “How can predictions of climate variability and change be improved”? • “How can weather forecast duration and reliability be improved by new space-based observations, data assimilation, and modeling?” • “The NASA Earth Science Applications Theme was created to accelerate and expand the delivery of Earth system science research results to serve decision support for American citizens and the world.”

  31. NOAA-NASA SignificanceWhy is all of this important? • Will also support themes dealing with Carbon Cycle, Coastal Management, Water and Energy Cycles • Will support themes dealing with improved data management, including standardization of data formats, metadata, user support, and integration of new technologies for faster data transfer. • Also addresses all four of NOAA’s Goals: Climate, Ecosystems, Weather and Water, Commerce and Transportation • And…GHRSST is IOOS-compliant!!

  32. New Technologies • Aspera: Enables large data set transfers over any network regardless of network conditions and distance. • RightNow: Enables user and RDAC access to knowledge base system for maximizing customer communication and satisfaction

  33. Conclusion… This is a great example of NOAA and NASA working together to better meet the needs of our shared community of users!
