NESDIS CoRP (Cooperative Research Programs)

STAR: Center for Satellite Applications and Research (nee ORA)

CIOSS: Cooperative Institute for Oceanographic Satellite Studies

CIMSS: Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies

CIRA: Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere

CICS: Cooperative Institute for Climate Studies

CREST: Cooperative Remote Sensing Science and Technology Center

What the Atmospheric CI’s do:

1) Design and evaluate future and present satellites sensors Risk Reduction, Cal/Val

NPOESS, NPP (2008, 2010) GOES-R (2012)

1) Research in atmospheric remote sensing Improved Products of NESDIS, NWS

2) Research in modeling and data assimilation NCEP models, Joint Center for Satellite DA

3) Basic research in meteorology, atmospheric sciences

4) Outreach

To perform analogous functions to (2) and (3), CIOSS needs the IOOS (Integrated Ocean Observing System) to move foreward, including modeling. CIOSS is helping to make that happen.

CIOSS Research Themes and Working Groups

Theme 1: Satellite Sensors and Techniques: Development of satellite oceanography techniques and applications; evaluation of existing and proposed satellite sensors, algorithms, techniques and applications.

CIOSS WG on Future Ocean Color Sensors: COAST Team – GOES-R (2012); VIIRS (2008)

CIOSS WG on Ocean Vector Wind Sensors: QuikSCAT; Passive Microwave (WindSat, CMIS)

Theme 2: Ocean-Atmosphere Fields and Fluxes: Development, evaluation and analysis of improved fields of physical and biological parameters in the upper ocean, and of surface parameters and fluxes at the air-sea interface, using combinations of remote sensing, in situ data and modeling.

CIOSS WG on Product Development: Improved Fields (Satellite + In Situ) for IOOS Users - Coastal and Global – CoastWatch & OceanWatch

Theme 3: Ocean-Atmosphere Models and Data Assimilation: Use of satellite-derived fields to force and evaluate numerical models of the oceanic and atmospheric circulation, including the assimilation of those fields using methods of inverse modeling. For some applications, the ocean models will include components of marine ecosystems.

CIOSS WG on Dynamics: Ocean Modeling in the IOOS Era: Coastal Models, Nested Within Basin-Scale Models, Assimilating Improved Satellite-Derived (And Other) Data Products; Prediction, Validation

Theme 4: Ocean-Atmosphere Analyses: Dynamical and statistical analyses of data sets derived from satellites, models and in situ instruments, in order to increase our understanding of the physical, chemical, biological, geological and societal processes that affect and are affected by the ocean-atmosphere system.

Theme 5: Outreach: We include three broad Outreach areas: Formal Education, Informal Education and Data Access by the Public.
