15. Naval Oceanographic Office Providing Decision Superiority for Warfare Operations APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE 15 IPO has asked NRL SSC to take lead in Ocean calval Initial meeting July 08 with following participants –Bob Arnone (lead) and Paul Lyons (NRLSSC) –Alexander Ignatov (NOAA/NESDIS) –Peter Minnett and Bob Evans (RSMAS) –Doug May and Bob Coulter (NAVO) First priority is to get a proxy VIIRS data stream –Working with Joe Zajic (NOAA/IPO) on software that will ingest MODIS data and convert it to proxy VIIRS data in real-time –the data will be formatted according to the IDPS SDR output specification in HDF5 and will have the MODIS channels spectrally transformed to resemble VIIRS channels –Allows those users getting MODIS data already to run conversion software rather than acquiring another datastream –Will be used for both SST and ocean color NDE NPOESS Data Exploitation
