NOAA's NPOESS Data Exploitation Project
Abstract
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's NPOESS Data Exploitation (NDE) Project is building a near-real time processing and distribution system for data from the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) and its forerunner, NASA's NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP). The NDE Project has diverse user requirements for atmospheric, oceanographic, and land surface data products with strict operational timeliness. The NDE Project worked with stakeholders to promote and adopt widely used scientific data formats consistent with interoperability objectives for the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). The NDE system was designed to meet these user requirements in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with product algorithms and product tailoring tools presented as internal service components. This approach provides scalability and high availability for mission critical operations, while maintaining flexibility for future products and satellite data processing and distribution requirements.
