NPOESS Data Exploitation
15
NPOESS Data Exploitation

• IPO has asked NRL SSC to take lead in Ocean
  calval
• Initial meeting July 08 with following
  participants
• Bob Arnone (lead) and Paul Lyons (NRLSSC)
• Alexander Ignatov (NOAA/NESDIS)
• Peter Minnett and Bob Evans (RSMAS)
• Doug May and Bob Coulter (NAVO)
• First priority is to get a proxy VIIRS data
  stream
• Working with Joe Zajic (NOAA/IPO) on software
  that will ingest MODIS data and convert it to
  proxy VIIRS data in real-time
• the data will be formatted according to the IDPS
  SDR output specification in HDF5 and will have
  the MODIS channels spectrally transformed to
  resemble VIIRS channels
• Allows those users getting MODIS data already to
  run conversion software rather than acquiring
  another datastream
• Will be used for both SST and ocean color NDE

16
Future Altimeter Satellite data

• Altika (2010 - 2014)
• Considerable assistance required to allow
  access of data from Indian Space Organization
  (INSO) and/or CNES
• Currently no MOU/MOA exists
• Sentinel 3 (2012 - 2016)
• Spacecraft and data availability still under
  development
• Establish MOU/MOA with ESA to receive data
  similar to Envisat agreement
• GFO-2 (2013 2019)
• Launch in highly successful GeoSat/GFO 17 day ERM
• Final Requirement Specs RFP release 4th
  quarter 2009
• Anticipated Contract Award 2nd quarter 2010
