1 National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service Helen M. Wood Director Office of Satellite Data Processing & Distribution U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

2 National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service MISSION: To provide and ensure timely access to global environmental data to promote, protect, and enhance the Nation’s economy, security, environment, and quality of life. To fulfill its responsibilities NESDIS acquires and manages the Nation’s operational environmental satellites, provides data and information services, and conducts related research.

3 NESDIS Programs Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) Environmental Data Management  National Climatic Data Center  National Oceanographic Data Center  National Geophysical Data Center Applications Research and Development Satellite Data Processing & Distribution Commercial Remote Sensing Licensing

20 Goal

21  Improve decision making before, during, and after emergencies through better access to and quality of data and information  Identify users and their needs  Provide information products specifically designed to meet users’ needs  Promote efficiency and cost effectiveness  Stimulate and facilitate mitigation Objectives

22  The products should be based from the outset on user needs  A major focus should be on integration of various data types  Data and information quality and reliability are major issues that need to be addressed  An effective dissemination and access plan is critical to the success of any information system Guiding Principles

23 National Hazards Information Strategy
