ESDIS Project Status 11/29/2006 Dan Marinelli, Science Systems Development Office
EOSDIS System Evolution • ESDIS was directed to evolve the systems under its budget to accommodate vision identified by a joint EOSDIS Elements Study/Technical team • Key vision elements include: • Improve access and processing services, ensure available expert knowledge, reduce operational costs, ensure safe stewardship, maintain IT currency
EOSDIS System Evolution • Top 3 cost drivers contribute to approx. 50 % of total budget: • EMD/ECS • GES DAAC • LaRC DAAC • Factors that contribute to top 3 cost drivers: • Operating multiple systems (ECS, V0/V1, LaTIS, etc.) • DAAC-unique capabilities and science community support beyond specific operation of ECS/SDPS • Providing sustaining engineering for ECS/SDPS at the four ECS DAACs
ESDIS Evolution Path • Approval has been given to embark down an evolution path • GES DAAC and ASDC DAAC to evolve away from ECS SDPS at their sites • MODAPS to evolve towards archive and distribution of all MODIS products • ECS SDPS footprint to be reduced greatly in terms of hardware and custom code • Summary of the plan can be found at http://eosdis-evolution.gsfc.nasa.gov/
EOSDIS Today EOSDIS provides • A production capability for standard science data products from EOS instruments • An “active archive” of Earth science data from EOS and other past and present missions • A distributed information framework (data centers, SIPS, networks, interoperability, other system elements) with partners supporting EOS investigators and other users in science, government, industry, education, and policy EOSDIS_Today_11222006. xls
EOSDIS 2006 Customer Satisfaction Survey • EOSDIS’ third survey, about 2800 responders • Survey has changed slightly each time, but the standard questions for measuring satisfaction are the same • 2006 survey addressed product search, selection and order, distribution, quality, documentation and customer support
Respondent Background Q8. For which disciplines do you need or use Earth science data? (n=2,857)*
Summary of HDF-related comments to the CFI Survey(Informally assessed)
How May We Help You? • The data gleaned from the survey leads us to conclude that the ESDIS Project needs to examine solutions for the areas of: • Data handling support software • Preprocessed/flexibly-formatted data access paths • NetCDF • GeoTIFF when applicable
