NPOESS Data ExploitationNPOESS Data Exploitation



• 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 ExploitationNPOESS Data Exploitation



Future Altimeter Satellite dataFuture Altimeter Satellite data

Altika (2010 - 2014)

* Considerable assistance required to allow access of data from Indian Space Organization (INSO) and/or CNES

* Currently no MOU/MOA exists

Sentinel 3 (2012 - 2016)

* Spacecraft and data availability still under development

* Establish MOU/MOA with ESA to receive data; similar to Envisat agreement

GFO-2 (2013 – 2019)

• Launch in highly successful GeoSat/GFO 17 day ERM

• Final Requirement Specs – RFP release 4th quarter 2009

• Anticipated Contract Award – 2nd quarter 2010

Ocean Gliders: Persistent Unmanned Ocean Data Collection Capability from NAVOCEANO

• Capability developed by ONR research community to support oceanographic research, transition to NAVOCEANO has occurred, transition for fleet operational use in planning process • Typical data collection includes ocean temperature, salinity, optical scattering, and current measurements • Deployed from surface platforms by two men • Once in the water fully autonomous• Data reported remotely by satellite to NAVOCEANO GOC• Missions & Way Points reprogrammable remotely• Long Endurance (30 days or more depending on glider type, sensors, and environment)• 24 Hours/day capable• Low Observable, only on surface for brief periods to transmit data and

obtain GPS fix and data transmission.

System Highlights:

• Many successful deployments have been demonstrated by the academic community over the last 10 years world wide

• NAVOCEANO Glider Operations Center Activity (FY07 – FY08):
