CGMS-43-NOAA-WP-03 Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS Current Processing & Distribution Polar products – DDS & NDE 1.0 GOES products – GEODIST McIDAS formatted products – GEODIST Highly manual data access process – Paper data access requests – Subscriptions all manually managed by OSPO Slide: 3

4. CGMS-43-NOAA-WP-03 Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS Processing and Distribution - PDA Purpose of the Production Distribution and Access (PDA) system is to serve as the NESDIS enterprise distribution system for our near real-time users. All near real-time distribution except for McIDAS will be migrated to PDA – phased approach (new missions and then current missions). McIDAS ADDE access will remain on GEODIST systems for the foreseeable future. GOES-R near real-time products will be provided to AWIPS2/Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN), GOES Re-Broadcast (GRB) and the primary PDA * system at NSOF. S-NPP/JPSS products will be provided via PDA. PDA is being developed for OSPO by the Office of Satellite Ground Services (OSGS). PDA Distribution Service Improvements: Highly automated user driven process User managed subscriptions, search and tailoring Enhanced security controls / transfer protocols Enhanced reporting and control for system optimization Ability to handle large data volumes *note – there is no GOES-R product distribution from the backup PDA (only AWIPS2 and GRB services provided in the event of a backup scenario)

5. CGMS-43-NOAA-WP-03 Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS Data Access & Distribution Policy Contact: NESDIS.data.access@noaa.gov Full policy and forms at http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Organization/About/access.html Security requirement to document and control all users accessing operational data servers – Users request data using a web based app located at http://pda-apply.noaa.gov/http://pda-apply.noaa.gov/ 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. Non real-time users are encouraged to access satellite data from NESDIS’ Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) via ftp at: http://www.nsof.class.noaa.gov/saa/products/welcome If available, users will be directed to sources of data that are external to NESDIS but still fulfill their data requirements/needs.
