2 Center for Satellite Applications & Research Summary of Roles & Responsibilities… STAR provides NOAA-relevant applied research, development, and science services to accelerate the transition and transformation of raw satellite observations into operational information products that support environmental assessments and predictions by NOAA land, atmosphere and ocean user communities. Lead NESDIS research, development, validation and maintenance of satellite derived products and applications from NOAA’s operational geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites and from non-NOAA research and international satellites Develop new environmental applications, techniques and algorithms for transforming raw satellite observations into scientifically meaningful, quality assured and calibrated environmental measurements and products, and develop the pre-operational computer codes to implement them; Support the calibration and validation of all satellite sensors used in NOAA’s satellite operations, develop methods and maintains systems for inter-calibrating NOAA satellite data with other agency and international satellites constellations. Work with other NESDIS and NOAA offices, universities, NASA and other U.S. agencies, and with international organizations on exchange and evaluation of operational and research satellite data and products; Interfaces with NESDIS and NOAA operational organizations to improve the use of satellite data in operations, accelerating the transfer of new techniques and new satellite data sources (domestic or foreign) into NOAA operations to improve environmental prediction.

8 Educational Partnership Program (EPP) Technically excellent, and comprehensively responsive to NOAA partnership, scientifically appropriate, well executed & managed Leveraging into other government agency activities via their faculty and partners Hampton University, University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, California State University Los Angeles, UMD Baltimore County True to Original Charter and History of CCNY Devoted to welfare and interests of students A Key measure of commitment to the partnership, is extent to which NOAA relevant technologies, concepts and interests are reflected in curriculum and curriculum development What capabilities and skills can we impart to you? What capabilities and skills can you impart to us?

9 Educating NOAA about what it does Communicating Science is what you do (University Students ~Lay Audiences Students, We need to communicate science better inside and outside NOAA Basic understanding of physical earth and environmental system mission. Basic understanding of technologies and capabilities, and of how and what we do to accomplish our mission. Work with STAR develop and deliver lay level “courses” to NOAA personnel: How the Earth Works, How Satellites Work Embed STAR Scientist for period at CREST, co-offer graduate seminar course
