3. 05 December, 2002HDF & HDF-EOS Workhop VI3 ESDIS Science Data Services Today EOSDIS provides support for high data volumes from Aqua, Terra, and Landsat 7, and continues to support QuikSCAT, ACRIMSat, SAGE-III, JASON and pre-EOS-era data including TRMM, UARS, TOPEX/Poseidon, RADARSat, and others. –EOSDIS finalizing preparations to support ICESat and SORCE –In all, EOSDIS is providing data processing, archival, and/or distribution for over 15 Earth science satellite missions. EOSDIS has set a new benchmark for data management. The total volume of the science data in our archives totals over 2 Petabytes. Since 1998, the science data volume managed by the EOSDIS has increased eight-fold, and continues to grow at a rate of over 2 Terabytes per day In FY02, EOSDIS provided more than 16 million data and information products to over 1.8 million individuals.

8. 05 December, 2002HDF & HDF-EOS Workhop VI8 ESDIS Status After years of development, ECS is operational and generally recognized as successful. Primary ECS development contract is essentially completed. ECS Maintenance and Development (EMD) will emphasize maintenance more than development. Already the majority of ESDIS budget has shifted from development to operations. Still two major areas of new capability (see posters at AGU for more information): –Data Pools –ECHO

9. 05 December, 2002HDF & HDF-EOS Workhop VI9 HDF-EOS Plans HDF-EOS 5 development is nearly complete. Continue to maintain, port to newer operating systems, bug-fix. Need the advise of this community workshop - we will discuss this afternoon. –What tools or capabilities are now needed? HDF-EOS 2 and HDF-EOS 5 –When is it the right time to press EOS science teams to migrate to HDF-EOS 5? –What steps should NASA take to facilitate?

31. 05 December, 2002HDF & HDF-EOS Workhop VI31 Product Levels Level 0 - Reconstructed, unprocessed instrument/pay- load data at full resolution; any and all communications artifacts, e.g., synch. frames, communications headers, duplicate data removed. Level 1A- Reconstructed, unprocessed instrument data at full resolution, time-referenced, and annotated with ancillary information, including radiometric and geometric calibration coefficients and georeferencing parameters, e.g., platform ephemeris, computed and appended but not applied to the Level 0 data. Level 1B - Level 1A data that have been processed to sensor units (not all instruments will have a Level 1B equivalent). Level 2 - Derived geophysical variables at the same resolution and location as the Level 1 source data. Level 3 - Variables mapped on uniform space-time grid scales, usually with some completeness and consistency. Level 4 - Model output or results from analyses of lower level data, e.g., variables derived from multiple measurements.
