PDA Product Distribution & Acquisition by NOAA Presented to CGMS-44 WGIV, agenda item 4

Satellite Information Flow SNPP/JPSS-1 (PM) POES NOAA-19 Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) GOES-West GOES-East Non-NOAA (Jason2, DMSP, Meteosat, MTSAT, Metop, EOS, COSMIC, others) Product Development Algorithm Development Science Maintenance Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) METOP-B/C (AM) TDRSS Fairbanks Wallops Svalbard McMurdo / Troll Command and Control Processing and Distribution Satellite Operations Control Center Environmental Satellite Processing Center Suitland Data and Products Customers Office of Satellite Ground Systems (OSGS) Ground Systems Development and Sustainment, IT Enterprise Architecture Archive and Access NESDIS Data Centers

Current Processing & Distribution Polar products – DDS & NDE 1.0 GOES products – GEODIST McIDAS formatted products Highly manual data access process Paper data access requests Subscriptions all manually managed by OSPO

New Processing & Distribution 1/2 All near real time distribution except McIDAS will be done from PDA McIDAS will remain on GEODIST GOES-R products (AWIPS2/SBN, GRB and PDA) JPSS products Other products from currently supported missions Highly automated, user driven process User managed search and tailoring OSPO to manage and update international user subscriptions, same as current DDS

New Processing & Distribution 2/2 Significant changes to contingency operations There is no GOES-R distribution from the backup PDA (only AWIPS2 and GRB services (KPPs) provided in the event of a backup scenario) The JPSS contingency operations will be limited to a single set of primary sensors Legacy systems will continue to COOP from CIP Data volumes will be much higher Operation Readiness Review scheduled for 25 July 2016 PDA will be operationally ready to accept data from GOES-R ground system System Acceptance Review scheduled for late 2016 / early 2017 PDA will be operationally ready to perform all functions and OSPO will be programmatically ready to take ownership of the system Transition period coupled to support for GOES-R ops Currently, GOES-R data is expected to be the first products available on PDA

PDA Product Delivery Schedule GOES-R – L+6 months for all instruments JPSS-1 – L+90 days for KPPs VIIRS over Alaska, ATMS, CrIS Other sensor products later GOES-NOP/POES/Other Legacy Products Planning to start transition early CY2017 Transition could run 6 months

Big Data Network Communication Challenges Bandwidth vs. time to transfer Example: If you want to receive 20 GB of data in less than 5 minutes, a bandwidth speed of at least 500 Mbps of end to end network capacity is needed NOTE: The slowest speed in the network path determines the overall data transfer speed. GB - Gigabyte Gbps – Gigabit per second (1 Gigabit = 109 bits)

Data Access & Distribution Policy Contact: NESDIS.data.access@noaa.gov Full policy and data access forms at http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Organization/About/access.html Security requirement to document and control all users accessing operational data servers Significant increases in data volumes necessitate prioritization of users to effectively manage data distribution resources to ensure effective system performance Higher priority access will be given to organizations with: Mission and statutory authority that supports the requirement for real-time data access Signed NESDIS cooperative agreements or other legislative authorities A demonstrated timeliness requirement for near-real time satellite data and products to support operational user applications. For non real-time data users, NOAA/NESDIS will offer alternate sources of data access that are internal and external to NESDIS
