[ACG46-08] From Satellite Data to Informatics – Towards The Development of Satellite-based Real-Time Informatics in Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP)
Keywords:Community satellite processing package, Sensor Data Record; Environmental Data Record; Information Data Record, Nowcasting; Nearcasting
This paper starts with the overview of ~16 years (2000-2016) of success of IMAPP and CSPP as a pathway to the development of a freely available software package to transform MODIS, AIRS, AMSU, VIIRS, CrIS, and ATMS Raw Data Records (RDRs) (i.e. Level 0) to Sensor Data Records (SDRs) (i.e. Level 1), SDRs to Environmental Data Records (EDRs) (i.e. Level 2) and Information Data Record (IDRs) in support of Terra, Aqua, Suomi NPP and subsequently the JPSS and GOES missions under the CSPP framework.
Moreover, the current innovations in the development of Information Data Record (IDR) from single or multiple EDR and other ancillary and auxiliary data, to become the foundation of CSPP informatics. Examples of real-time applications using EDRs and IDRs in nowcasting and nearcasting of severe weather, aviation operation and air quality monitoring are to be highlighted. Summary is given to conclude this community effort in facilitating the user-friendly end-to-end calibration, navigation, product generation and information integration that are suitable and freely available to all users of meteorological and environmental satellites.
