Overall users are very positive about their experience using LANCE services Some data users would like data in alternative formats NetCDF, GeoTIFF, ASCII, Shape file Updates to FIRMS are overdue More mobile / tablet friendly More detailed overlays Users want information on NRT burned area Updates to Rapid Response would be appreciated [43% of those that selected the Rapid Response track had tried Worldview. 21% would consider switching, 59% were not sure and want more information, 20% would not consider switching]. Bandwidth: an issue for some users downloading data and accessing imagery Response to questions from users – posted online Take Away Messages

Other updates 10 LANCE UWG Telecom - 29th April 2015 AIRS, MLS instruments and data processing are stable OMI instrument and data processing are nominal. Row anomaly stable since Sept 2014 Planet Boundary Layer (PBL) for SO 2 added back in to the L3 data using an improved algorithm that reduces the noise LANCE Requirements for data providers - revised and available from COMET - NASA’s Configuration Management EOSDIS Tool. Summary checklist of LANCE requirements - available from LANCE wiki Based on recommendations from last UWG Request to add per pixel geolocation for NRT MOD14 Code has been implemented and this be available in Collection 6 NRT Rolling BRDF: reorganized code has been delivered and is vastly speeded up

FY2014 Annual Report 14 Production of Near Real-Time Products Near Real-Time (NRT) production represents the amount of data generated by the Land Atmosphere Near Real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) data providers, including the two identical processing systems, NRT and NRT2. Volume and file count include the data products deleted from archive Source: EOSDIS FY2014 Annual Metrics Report

FY2014 Annual Report15 Distribution of Near Real-Time Products * Excludes metadata ** Represents the number of unique IP hosts/ addresses used to retrieve NRT products, excluding registered users *** Represents the number of the registered users who retrieved data for each instrument. It must be noted that sum of theses users may be greater than the total number of unique registered users since one user could retrieve data for multiple instruments 1 These products do not have any mission or instrument mapping but have been distributed, such as ancillary data. Near Real-time (NRT) Distribution provides the amount of data successfully distributed to registered users of the Land Atmosphere Near Real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE). LANCE provides access to near real-time data (<3 hours from observation) from MODIS, AIRS, MLS and OMI instruments. Metrics for distribution volume, numbers of files distributed and users are presented. Source: EOSDIS FY2014 Annual Metrics Report

Instrument and data processing are nominal. The row anomaly is still present but has been stable since September Added the PBL (Planetary Boundary Layer) for SO2 back into the Level 3 data. The new PBL product using an improved algorithm that reduces the noise. We are currently in the process of adding the PBL imagery into GIBS. LANCE OMI

Add https distribution of data products. Add NPP-OMPS products. SO2 as measured by OMI from volcanic eruption of Nyiragongo, Congo on April 15, 2015 LANCE OMI

Updates for AIRS and MLS AIRS Instrument status is stable and no more obvious degrading of microwave channel over the past year. AIRS NRT Products AIRS L1B version 5 (VIS/NIR radiances, microwave brightness temps) AIRS L2 version 6 (standard retrieval, cloud cleared radiances, support product) MLS NRT Products MLS L2 version 3 (Temperature, Water Vapor, O3, CO, HNO3, NO2, SO2)
