  1. Non-NOAA SATELLITE ACTIVITIES George Serafino NOAA Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) North America - Europe Data Exchange Meeting, Asheville, NC, May 17-19, 2008

  2. NOAA Requirements for Non-NOAA Satellites • 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. Summary of Non-NOAA Satellite Data Availability • 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 ASCAT, GOME, and IASI Level 1B data in near real time from EUMETSAT • Receiving raw JASON2 data from NOAA/EUMETSAT ground stations and OGDRs from EUMETSAT • Receiving raw and processed WindSAT data from IPO/Navy Selection Criteria:

  4. Summary of Non-NOAA Satellite Data Availability • Receiving processed SSM/IS data (TDRs and EDRs) from Navy/FNMOC • Receiving processed (Level 2)TRMM products TRMM from NASA Selection Criteria:
