  3. NOAA/NESDIS and OSPO • NOAA/NESDIS acquires and manages the Nation's operational environmental satellites, operates the NOAA National Data Centers, provides data and information services including Earth system monitoring, performs official assessments of the environment, and conducts related research. • The Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) is part of NOAA/NESDIS and is a newly created Office formed by merging the Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution (OSDPD) and the Office of Satellite Operations (OSO). • OSPO operates environmental satellites and generates and distributes products from domestic and international environmental satellites. • Information about OSPO and the products that its generates can be found at the follow website: • http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/ • Information about the products generated at the OSPO can be found at the Satellite Product End-to-End Documentation System (SPEEDS) site below: • http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/speeds/ 3

  4. OSPO, OSD and STAR OSPO works closely with the Office of Systems Development (OSD) and the Center for Satellite Application and Research (STAR). OSD builds systems that it deliveries to OSPO to run operationally. STAR is the science arm of NESDIS and works to transition science from research to operations. Most of the OSPO algorithm development and testing is done by STAR. 4

  5. NOAA/NESDIS Operational DAPE Support • NOAA/NESDIS maintains the Data Acquisition, Processing and Exchange (DAPE) Gateway at the NOAA Satellite Operates Facility (NSOF) Building in Suitland and its Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) site at Wallops Island, VA. • Using this Gateway, NOAA/NESDIS distributes 46 data products to DAPE Partners over the DAPE DATMS-U/OTN network. • This Gateway is also used to obtain products from DoD partners for distribution to the civilian community (i.e. National Weather Service) • DAPE operational support functions and data product descriptions are documented in the Technical Reference -1 to the Environmental Satellite Data Annex (ESDA TR-1). • This document is maintained and published by NOAA/NESDIS with a limited distribution among the DAPE Partners (AFWA, FNMOC, NAVOCEANO, NOAA/NESDIS, NOAA/NWS/NCEP/JCSDA, and OFCM (JAG/ODAA)). 5

  6. Current DAPE Satellite Data Products Exchange

  7. Issue: Earthquake Effects • Issues: • On August 23 a 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck the region requiring evacuation of the NSOF • NSOF facilities suffered cosmetic damage (current assessment) • 20 ESPC racks within the computer room shifted, 4 substantially • No injuries but 1 person was hit on the head by a small piece of falling debris • No issues or damage at WCDAS • Actions: • Evacuation of facility with non-essential personnel sent home • Quick sweep of building found no major damage or safety concerns • NSOF operations continued with minimal essential people • Damage to court yards prompted GSA complete facility assessment • GSA deemed NSOF safe for occupancy • Safety Report filed for person who was hit on the head • Status: • Areas of cosmetic concern within the facility have been isolated and blocked off from access • ESPC rack adjustments pending

  8. Issue: Hurricane Effects • Issues: • On August 27, Hurricane Irene Hurricane Irene left behind a wide swath of damage from North Carolina to Maine. • NSOF facilities received no damage aside from water leaks in roof • WCDAS facility built to withstand Cat 2 hurricane, no issues • Status: • WCDAS optimized hurricane rated (HR) antennas during event for GOES 12 (operating in eclipse) and 13 Operations • FCDAS provided operations for GOES 11, loss three images and one sounder during the transition from WCDAS to FCDAS – configuration error, training plan implemented to provide more proficiency • Personnel deployed from WCDAS were deployed to WBU as precaution but no handover to this resource necessary • The Data Collection System (DCS) domestic satellite functions were moved to the Wallops backup at the NSOF • Nominal configurations were reestablished on August 28

  9. Highlights: Tropical Support for TPC SAB personnel provided tropical support to the National Hurricane Center in Miami for Atlantic Hurricane Irene. SAB satellite analysts provided 42 storm position and intensity estimates derived from the Dvorak technique and six microwave-based intensity estimates. Thirty-five Ensemble Tropical Rainfall Potentials (ETrap) were also provided during the event. GOES-East infrared image of Hurricane Irene at 0215 UTC, Aug. 26, 2011

  10. Highlights: Precipitation Support for WFOs SAB personnel provided precipitation support to Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the Eastern Seaboard for heavy rainfall and flooding from Hurricane Irene. SAB satellite analysts provided 30 Satellite Precipitation Estimates (SPENES), 17 satellite graphical products and 13 satellite rainfall estimates from August 21-28 in support of NWS Forecast Offices (WFOs) and River Forecast Centers (RFCs). In addition, SAB provided at least 4 briefings a day and numerous consultations to the NCEP Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC) GOES-based Satellite Precipitation Estimate graphics for Puerto Rico (left) and New England (right).

  12. Current NOAA/NESDIS Operational Support and Data Products Distribution • NOAA/NESDIS acquires and manages operational environmental satellites, the NOAA National Data Centers, and provides data and information services (Go to: http://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/SatProducts.html and http://www.osdpd.noaa.gov/ml/cip/html • NOAA/NESDIS distributes 46 data products to DAPE Partners over the DAPE DATMS-U/OTN network. • DAPE operational support functions and data product descriptions are documented in the Technical Reference -1 to the Environmental Satellite Data Annex (ESDA TR-1).

  13. GOES-15 GOES-15 in moving West to replace GOES-11 as the GOES-W. GOES-15 is scheduled to replace GOES-11 on December 22. NWS uses the SXI and XRS on GOES 15 SXI experienced an anomaly during activation and recovered Recommendation to keep it in full operation to avoid future occurrences GOES 15 requires twice a year yaw flip around equinox This requires data outages that are minimal Would rather have this requirement on the West and not East Satellite GOES-13/14/15 have similar instruments to GOES-8-12, but on a different spacecraft bus. Spring and fall eclipse outages will be avoided by larger onboard batteries. Improved navigation. Improved radiometrics. Similar stray light to GOES-13/14 GOES-8/12 GOES-13/14/15 14

  14. GOES-15 Science Test • To the right is an image generated from GOES-15 science test data (test occurred in the summer of 2010). • Comparisons with AIRS and IASI have found a bias of Imager bands 3 and 6.

  20. EUMETSAT Report NOAA/Eumetsat examine options for routing of China Meteorological Admin data through EUM FY-3 A/B satellites – polar orbiters DTS too small, separate path being sought Current Status: MetOp-B is scheduled to launch April 2012 MetOp-C will be launched 4.5 years after MetOp-B Recent failure on Soyuz might impact launch date Eumetsat indicated plan to keep Metop-A operational until launch of Metop C would continue to provide METOP A data when METOP B becomes primary OSPO will survey users to obtain rqmts before going forward with official request EPS-SG Transition from MetOp to EPS-SG scheduled in 2020 NOAA is not going to provide an LLI, SEM-N nor CERES for this satellite – For Official Use Only –

  21. Metop-A AHRPT Coverage Extension On January 18, Eumetsat extended the coverage area of Metop-A AHRPT NOAA requested that Eumetsat extend Metop AHRPT coverage to help mitigate the loss of NOAA-17 AVHRR scan motor Eumetsat had implemented a turn-on turn-off strategy for the backup AHRPT transmitter after the failure of the primary transmitter This strategy was implemented in the hope of preventing this transmitter from failing ESPC is now receiving Metop AHRPT data from Miami, Ewa Beach and Monterey Will go operational with these data soon ESPC plans to also start generating products from Metop AHRPT data collected at Wallops CDA

  22. Antarctic Data Acquisition (ADA) Mission Overview To improve timeliness reception of METOP Global Data Stream (GDS) data EUMETSAT is now using the McMurdo station for ADA data recovery Antenna resource shared by JPSS ADA implementation makes use of a ½ orbit dumps from McMurdo (when scheduled) and ½ orbit files from Svalbard (SVL) Dumps at ADA place data at the NOAA Gateway 49 minutes earlier than when McMurdo is not used. Since the start of routine ADA operations, the average 1b latency for the MetOp-A Part 1 McMurdo orbits is 73 minutes. Latency for Part 2 Svalbard orbits is approximately 100 minutes and latency for full orbit Svalbard orbits is 184 minutes. 24
