Book Description
The system of satellites in place to provide environmental data-data to monitor events such as forest fires and floods; to make weather predictions; and to assess crops, transportation impacts, fisheries, land-use patterns, sea temperature, and soil moisture, among other things- serves a wide and growing array of users. In the coming years as the next generation of operational environmental satellites in put in orbit, the will be a large expansion in data availability. To ensure that these data serve effectively this broad user community, a new vision for the future of operational environmental satellite data utilization is needed. To help develop approaches for handling this potential data overload, NASA, with technical support from NOAA, asked the NRC to conduct an end-to-end review of issues about the utilization of operational environmental satellite data for 2010 and beyond. This report presents the result of that review. It focuses on ensuring the value of environmental satellite data for addressing specific user needs, distribution of such data, and data access and utilization.

Pages : 140
Book Description
The operation and maintenance of the NOAA Polar Satellite System involves a great variety of activities in many locations throughout the United States of America. This report is to summarize this system and to provide interested people with a perspective of the operational NOAA polar orbiting satellite system. The NOAA polar system description serves as a reference for developers of short-range modifications of the system. This system description serves as a guide as to how services are generated for users of the system's output. This report is primarily for use within the National Environmental Satellite Service and its parent organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A glossary of terms is included for those less familiar with the system. The reader is cautioned that the system is described either as it was or was intended to be with the introduction of the third operational spacecraft NOAA-3 in the late fall of 1973. Specific plans to update this document in the future have not been made; however, your comments on the document and its need for revision are welcome.

Satellite Observations of the Earth's Environment

ISBN: 030908749X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
This report addresses the transition of research satellites, instruments, and calculations into operational service for accurately observing and predicting the Earth's environment. These transitions, which take place in large part between NASA and NOAA, are important for maintaining the health, safety, and prosperity of the nation, and for achieving the vision of an Earth Information System in which quantitative information about the complete Earth system is readily available to myriad users. Many transitions have been ad hoc, sometimes taking several years or even decades to occur, and others have encountered roadblocksâ€"lack of long-range planning, resources, institutional or cultural differences, for instanceâ€"and never reached fruition. Satellite Observations of Earth's Environment recommends new structures and methods that will allow seamless transitions from research to practice.
