  1. An Overview of the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and The Cooperative Research Program (CoRP) Frances C. Holt Director, Cooperative Research Program (CoRP) April 20, 2004

  2. NESDISwww.nesdis.noaa.gov COLEEN HARTMAN Deputy Assistant Administrator for Satellite and Information Services MISSION: The NOAA NESDIS mission is to provide and ensure timely access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources to promote, protect, and enhance the Nation’s economy, security, environment, and quality of life. To fulfill its responsibilities NESDIS acquires and manages the Nation’s operational environmental satellites, provides data and information services, and conducts related research.

  3. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) serves to acquire, process, preserve, and disseminate oceanographic data. Its primary mission is to ensure that global oceanographic data is maintained in a permanent archive that is easily accessible to the world science community. Director:Kurt Schnebele Acting Location:Silver Spring, MD SSMC3 Deputy Director:Kurt Schnebele http://www.nodc.noaa.gov

  4. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) is the world’s largest active archive of weather data. NCDC produces numerous climate publications and responds to data requests from all over the world. Director: Dr. Thomas Karl Location: Asheville, NC Deputy Director: Sharon LeDuc http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov

  5. National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) The National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is the national repository for geophysical data. NGDC acquires and exchanges global data through the World Data Center system and other international programs. Director:Chris Fox (Acting)Location: Boulder, CO Assistant to the Director:Dave Clark http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/ngdc

  6. SATELLITES • GOESGeostationary Operational Environmental Satellites • regional short-range warning • GOES-12 launched May 2002 • POESPolar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellites • global long-term forecasting & environmental monitoring • NOAA-M scheduled launch June 2002 • DMSPDefense Meteorological Satellite Program • DMSP-16 launched October 2003 • NPOESSFirst combined military & civilian satellite scheduled for launch 2008 • POES + DOD’s Defense Meteorological Satellite Prog. (DMSP)

  8. Integrated Program Office (IPO) National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System The Integrated Program Office provides for the planning, development, management, acquisition, and operation of the Nation’s single polar-orbiting operational environmental satellite system to satisfy both civil and national security requirements for remotely sensed meteorological, oceanographic, climatic and space environmental data. It is a triagency office reporting through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to an Executive Committee comprised of Under Secretary/Administrator level officials of the Department of Commerce, Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. System Program Director: John Cunningham Executive Officer: Capt. Dean Smehil Location: Silver Spring, MD Centre Building http:/www.ipo.noaa.gov

  10. Office of Satellite Operations (OSO) The Office of Satellite Operations (OSO) manages and directs the operation of NOAA’s satellites and the acquisition of remotely sensed data. The Office supports the launch, activation, and evaluation of new satellite and ground systems anomalies. Director: Kathy Kelly Locations: Suitland, MD FB 4, Wallops Island, VA, Deputy Director: Eric Clemons Fairbanks, AK http://www.oso.noaa.gov

  12. Office of Systems Development (OSD) The Office of Systems Development (OSD) performs overall program management functions of NOAA’s operational environmental satellite systems and ground system acquisitions. Director: Gary Davis Location: Suitland, MD FB 4 Executive Officer: Don Nortrup and Silver Spring SSMC1 http://www.osd.noaa.gov
