Mission

• Produce SSD suite of products in a GIS compatible
  format using commercial off-the-shelf software
  (COTS).
• Generate FGDC compliant metadata for all GIS data.

3
Objectives

• Provide users with ability to layer and
  manipulate SSD products.
• Provide products via interactive website and FTP.
• Provide OSEI products as a more useful GeoTIFF.
• Produce these products on-the-fly.

Current Datasetsas of 8/11/03

• GOES SST
• any McIDAS Area file
• GOES East/West
• GMS
• METEOSAT
• AVHRR (LAC, GAC and HRPT)
• ASCII Text files
• GOES image derived winds
• NH Snow and Ice

• OSEI RGB images
• MODIS
• Family of Services
• surface data
• Global Vegetative Index (GVI)
• Historical data (ORA collaboration)
• Volcanic Ash Plume

5
Future Datasets

• NCEP Model Data
• Upper Air heights and thicknesses

6
Currently

• Developing Interactive Mapping Service
• Various ArcIMS websites under development,
  including NOAAs fire detection page,
  www.firedetect.noaa.gov
• Obtained ENVI image processing software
• To process RGB imagery
• Procured 3D Analyst
• To produce 3 dimensional datasets and contours
• Procured Spatial Analyst
• To produce animation of shapefiles and geotiffs

7
Geodatabase Development

• ArcSDE has been installed with Oracle 9i
• NGDC is providing expertise in use of a
  geodatabase.
• In conjunction with development of the
  geodatabase, the on demand metadata generator
  is being developed to keep track of data in the
  SSD GIS environment

8
Advantages

• Product flow can be automated with minimal
  effort.
• Enormous potential for gaining users with ability
  to integrate various products in a GIS
  environment.
• Relatively low cost with high yield.
• A Big Bang for the Buck! Susan Ladenheim
• Meeting user requests for geolocated RGB (OSEI)
  images.

NOAA-16 HRPT RGB georeferenced GeoTIFF image
produced with ENVI software, with Hazard Mapping
System (HMS) wildfire detection, surface wind
direction and speed over GOES West image.
Replacement of IAXE software for OSEI image
production which allowed in-house software to be
replaced by COTS. Ability to overlay many SSD
products in a GeoTIFF format. Also compatible
with any GIS platform
10
Milestones

GIS Development Converted multiple SSD datasets to GeoTIFF, GIS compatible format. NOAA Enterprise GIS effort to ensure NOAA data is compatible for increased interoperability. Produced color RGB images for OSEI team. Porting of Wildfire GIS map service to operational. Collaboration with Ted Haberman, National Geophysical Data Center, working on NOAA GIS efforts, and geodatabase development. Status Exceeded In progress Exceeded Completed Completed and On-going

Color image produced for OSEI using Envi and
ArcGIS software demonstrating overlay
capabilities. Imagery is geolocated allowing the
user to integrate this image with other GIS
compatible products. Provides for virtually
endless user defined value added products. This
type of product will enable a more diverse user
base to use SSD produced products.
