2 AMS – Feb 2014 REFERENCE ONLY NOT PRESENTED ABSTRACT AMS – 02/2014 Stewardship of NOAA Space Environmental Data (Paper 2.3) W.F. Denig 1 1 NOAA National Geophysical Data Center, Boulder, CO The National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is the steward of NOAA's space environmental data. Currently NGDC has prime responsible for stewarding space weather data from the GOES and POES satellite systems. These data are available directly from NGDC and via various data portals such as the NASA Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) and the Virtual Radiation Belt Observatory (VIRBO). NGDC also stewards operational space weather products from the USAF's Solar Electro-Optical Network (SEON) along with numerous other solar and space environmental datasets tied to NGDC's heritage as the World Data Center for Solar-Terrestrial Physics. In this talk I will review the range of space environmental datasets available from NGDC and describe how to acquire and use the data. I will also discuss my perceived value for the historical datasets and solicit input on how to prioritize them in light of declining budgets and available manpower. Finally, I will discuss new space weather datasets coming online including data from the next- generation GOES satellites and NOAA's operational DSCOVR mission at L1.

3 AMS – Feb 2014 NGDC provides stewardship, products and services for geophysical data from our Sun to Earth and Earth's sea floor and solid earth environment, including Earth observations from space. The STP Division is responsible for the archive and access of solar and space environmental data and derived products collected by NOAA observing systems and acquired through the former World Data Center for Solar and Terrestrial Physics (Boulder). Data Stewardship NOAA National Geophysical Data Center NOAA Observing Systems: GOES & POES-MetOp (Current)

4 AMS – Feb 2014 NRC Whitepaper Benefits of Operational SWx Monitors Over 30 years of operational space environmental data is available for heliophysics research. For the most part the measurement parameters have remained the same except for some improvements in sensor design and performance – sometimes, much to the angst of the operational agencies: NOAA GOES – particles, fields, solar observation Date range: 1974 – present # of satellites: 15 (not counting 1 failure) Availability: on-line NOAA POES – energetic charged particles Date range: 1978 – present # of satellites: 12 (not counting 1 failure) Availability: on-line USAF DMSP – particles & fields, UV imagery Date range: 1976 – present # of satellites: 17 (not counting 1 failure) Availability: on-line (F6 and beyond only) DOE LANL – particles (GEO and GPS) Data range: 1976 – present # of satellites: Unknown Availability: restricted It keeps going and going and going

After MetOp the availability of energetic particle measurements in LEO will be very limited. VIIRS Anomalies

8 AMS – Feb 2014 Improved SWx Monitoring NOAA Historical Solar Observations Observations of sunspots in white light made by Charles Anthony Schott of the Coast Survey, plus data from other providers. The daily sunspot number (SSN) from multiple sources has been a consistent solar index from the early 1800’s to present.Charles Anthony Schott providersSSN From 1967 to 1994 the NOAA Space Environment Center observed the sun in H-alpha (656.3 nm). Chromospheric observations of prominences, filaments, plague and the chromospheric network. Daily observations of the sun for SWx operations transitioned to the USAF starting in 1979.H-alpha USAF NOAA historical space weather data available through NGDCNGDC

14 AMS – Feb 2014 Main Access Portal – SWx

15 AMS – Feb 2014 Concluding Thoughts NOAA SWx Data Stewardship 1. The NGDC Solar & Terrestrial Physics (STP) division within NGDC is responsible for stewarding NOAA’s SWx datasets and related information Current focus is the archive, access and assessment (AAA) of SWx data from NOAA’s fleet of operational environmental satellites STP also stewards operational SWx data provided from USAF satellites and ground systems. Division continues to manage a variety of historical SWx data collected through the World Data Service for Geophysics, formerly the WDC-STP (Boulder). 2. Challenges While the first priority is NOAA’s satellite data, retaining the personnel (number and skillsets) needed to steward the breadth of technical data available is difficult. There are limited opportunities to digitize historical paper, microfiche and film records 3. Some historical publications (available online) not discussed here: Solar Geophysical Data ( ) Upper Atmosphere Geophysics ( ) Greenwich Photo- heliographic Results ( ) Solar/Geomagnetic Indices Bulletins (1985-Present) International Geophysical Calendar (1957-Present)
