Agenda

•Providing On-Orbit Satellite Operations– 24/7 Satellite operations and product processing

• Geostationary satellites (GOES)– GOOES 12 retired

• Polar-orbiting satellites (POES)• Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP)

– DMSP is operated by NOAA on cost reimbursable basis for the U.S. Air Force

• Jason-2 altimetry satellite with EUMETSAT, NOAA, CNES•Acquiring Next Generation Satellites

– GOES–R Satellite Series– Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)– DSCOVR (Solar Wind Continuity)– Jason-3 altimetry satellite

•Providing Long Term Data Stewardship– Consolidating the National Climatic Data Center, National

Oceanographic Data Center and National Geophysical Data Center

NOAA Initiatives

• Maximize return on observing system investments– New office to examine

requirements across NOAA

– Develop strategies to meet multiple requirements with a single investment

– Determine the most effective mix of investments in observation and data management systems

– Leverage domestic and international partnerships

EOA Model Complete13 Societal Benefit Areas, 300 SMEs, 4000+ nodes

OSTP-Earth Observation Assessment

Data Discoverability Activities

• Establishment of NOAA Data Catalog– http://data.noaa.gov/ (in beta test)– Provides inventory per US Open Data Policy

• Continued maintenance of subsidiary catalogs at each Data Center

9

Data Accessibility Activities

• Data Access procedural directive in progress– EDMC work plan item– Started monthly telecons– Outline at http://goo.gl/0SXMS

• NWS Integrated Dissemination Program (IDP)– Planned Enterprise Geospatial Services– Operational hosting at NCEP for NWS & others

• Unified Access Framework (UAF) – improved access to gridded obs & model outputs

• Other implementations of standards-based services across NOAA

10

Data Usability Activities

11

• Metadata training webinars• Conversion to ISO metadata standard at NODC• ATRAC metadata editor at NCDC• Metadata metrics & diagnostics at NGDC

NOAA dataset IDs assigned to date: http://search.datacite.org/ui?&q=10.7289

• Ongoing preservation & stewardship activities at NOAA National Data Centers

• CLASS interface improvements (CSI, M2M)• Assignment of permanent dataset IDs

– To encourage archiving– To enable citation– Work on Data Citation directive in progress

Data Preservation Activities

12

Observing System of Record EDM AssessmentGoal: For key NOAA observing systems, determine:

– Data Center used for long-term preservation

– Data Management plan existence/location

– Metadata location & format– Data access services offered
