Agency Highlights 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 GOES POES Jason-2 GOES-R JPSS JPSS

GOES-R Overview 4 out 6 instruments delivered Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI), Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI), Extreme Ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance Sensors (EXIS), and the Space Environment In-Situ Suite (SEISS) Magnetometer and Geostationary Lightning Mapper, are scheduled for delivery later this year GOES-R Launch Readiness Date* Early 2016 Program Architecture 4 Satellites (GOES R,S,T&U), 10 year operational design life Program Operational Life FY 2017 – FY 2036 Program Life-cycle FY 2013 President’s Budget $10.860 billion *Launch Readiness Date based on FY 2014 President’s Budget Request *

Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) S-NPP operating well, spacecraft and instruments healthy, cal/val progressing well and on schedule JPSS-1 instruments are now in the environmental testing phase of development, bringing the satellite closer to its planned launch in early 2017 Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS), Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) and Clouds and Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Launch Readiness Date FY 2017 (JPSS-1)*; FY 2021 (JPSS-2) Program Architecture 2 Satellites (JPSS-1 and JPSS-2) & 2 free-flyer satellites Program Operational Life FY 2016 – FY 2028 Program Life-cycle FY 2013 President’s Budget $12.9 billion *Launch Readiness Date based on FY 2014 President's Budget Request

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

NOAA “Value Tree” Single Period Analysis Chart description: Top right section list all systems in the study, a checkmark indicates a given system is “turned on” Top left section lists details about the highlighted node, in this case the GOALS node (node score, roll up rule, node color) Levels of the value tree NOAA (at the top of the tree, not included on this chart) Goals (this top node for this chart, combines the Goals into one score. The other side of the tree which is not shown here contains the site information) Weather Ready Nation and Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Goals Goal Objectives (Reduce Loss of Life ……..) Mission Service Areas Data Sources and Tools The black triangles at the bottom of the DS&T boxes indicates the input to those nodes is mapped from the site side of the tree. NOSIA analysis determined NOAA’s current upper air observing performance is 76 on the 0-100 scale (more precisely, 76.22). The PALMA tool allows the user to visually examine the effects on NOAA’s value tree of turning off individual or combinations of observing systems. Impacts can be explored through all levels of the value tree.

EOA Model Complete 13 Societal Benefit Areas, 300 SMEs, 4000+ nodes OSTP-Earth Observation Assessment EOA Model Complete 13 Societal Benefit Areas, 300 SMEs, 4000+ nodes

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

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

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

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