It is a composite gridded-image derived from 8-km resolution SST Observations. It is generated every 48 hours for North America. SST is defined as the skin temperature of the ocean surface water.\r\n \r\n \r\n SST data supports climate research and monitoring, environmental monitoring and ocean/atmospheric models for forecasting. SST data is useful for shipping and sailing activities, commercial and recreational fishing and decision-making for fishery management and coral reef studies.\r\n \r\n \r\n underDevelopment\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n John F.

The netCDF library also defines a machine-independent format for representing scientific data. Together, the interface, library, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data. The netCDF software was developed at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder, Colorado. The freely available source can be obtained by anonymous FTP from ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/ or from other mirror sites.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/iso?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0099042\r\n \r\n \r\n download\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n ftp://data.nodc.noaa.gov/\r\n \r\n \r\n download\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/\r\n \r\n \r\n download\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/opendap/\r\n \r\n \r\n download\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n http://accession.nodc.noaa.gov/0099042\r\n \r\n \r\n download\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n DOC/NOAA/CLASS > Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n (828) 271-4850 x3183\r\n \r\n \r\n (828) 271-4328\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CLASS, 151 Patton Avenue\r\n \r\n \r\n Asheville\r\n \r\n \r\n NC\r\n \r\n \r\n 28801-5001\r\n \r\n \r\n USA\r\n \r\n \r\n info@class.noaa.gov\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 9:00 - 5:00 EST\r\n \r\n \r\n Phone/E-mail/letter.

These SST fields are generated by analyzing all the SST observations collected from the time of the last analysis to the time of the current analysis. The gridding or analysis process is a weighted average of all the SST retrievals in a search area about the gridpoint. The search area is dependent on the grid spacing of the analysis and the SST gradient at the\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgridpoint. The retrievals are spatially weighted by the inverse square of the distance from the gridpoint. There is no temporal weighting.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n John F.

An elliptical scan mirror provides cross-track scanning of 56 steps in increments of 1.8 degrees. The mirror steps rapidly (<35 msec), then holds at each position while the optical radiation , passing through the 20 spectral filters, is sampled. This action takes place each 0.1 second. The instantaneous field of view for each channel is approximately 0.7 degrees which, from a spacecraft altitude of 833 km, encompasses a circular area of 10 km at nadir on the earth.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n The polar orbiting satellites are able to collect global data on a daily basis for a variety of land, ocean and atmospheric applications. Data from the POES series supports a broad range of environmental monitoring applications including weather analysis and forecasting, climate research and prediction, global sea surface temperature measurements, atmospheric soundings of temperature and humidity, ocean dynamics research, volcanic eruption monitoring, forest fire\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdetection, global vegetation analysis, search and rescue, and many other applications.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NASA/Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Earth Science Keywords\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2007-04\r\n \r\n \r\n revision\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Version 6.0.0.0.0\r\n \r\n \r\n 2007-04\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/GCDC/GCMD > Global Change Master Directory, Global Change Data Center, Earth Sciences Division, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/Resources/valids/archives/keyword_list.html\r\n \r\n \r\n http\r\n \r\n \r\n web browser\r\n \r\n \r\n GCMD Keywords, Version 6.0.0.0.0\r\n \r\n \r\n Thesuarus for earth science keywords and associated directories hosted and maintained by NASA.\r\n \r\n \r\n information\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n resourceProvider\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n POES > Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellites\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n onGoing\r\n \r\n \r\n real\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA-16 > National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration-16\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA-16 (L) - Launched: September 21, 2000.

The SBUV/2 instruments on the TIROS-N satellites are designed to measure the total ozone in a vertical column beneath the satellite and its distribution with height in the atmosphere. The SBUV/2 contains a scanning double monochromator and a cloud cover radiometer (CCR) designed to measure ultraviolet (UV) spectral intensities. In its primary mode of operation, the monochromator measures solar radiation backscatter by the atmosphere in 12 discrete wavelength bands in the near-UV, ranging from 252.0 to 339.8 nm, each with a bandpass of 1.1 nm. The total-ozone algorithm uses the four longest wavelength bands (312.5, 317.5, 331.1, and 339.8 nm), whereas the profiling algorithm uses the shorter wavelengths. The cloud cover radiometer operates at 379 nm (i.e. outside the ozone absorption band) with a 3.0-nm bandpass and was designed to measure the reflectivity of the surface in the instantaneous field of view (IFOV). The SBUV/2 also makes periodic measurements of the solar flux by deploying a diffuser plate into the field of view (FOV) to reflect sunlight into the instrument. The monochromator and the cloud cover radiometer are mounted so that they look in the nadir direction with coincident nominal FOV's of 11.3 by 11.3 degrees. As the satellite moves in a Sun-synchronous orbit, the FOV traces 160-km wide paths on the ground. The earth rotates approximately 26 degrees during each orbit. The satellite footprint moves at a speed of about 6 km/sec. In discrete mode a set of 12 measurements, 1 for each discrete wavelength band, is taken every 32 seconds.

The SBUV/2 instruments on the TIROS-N satellites are designed to measure the total ozone in a vertical column beneath the satellite and its distribution with height in the atmosphere. The SBUV/2 contains a scanning double monochromator and a cloud cover radiometer (CCR) designed to measure ultraviolet (UV) spectral intensities. In its primary mode of operation, the monochromator measures solar radiation backscatter by the atmosphere in 12 discrete wavelength bands in the near-UV, ranging from 252.0 to 339.8 nm, each with a bandpass of 1.1 nm. The total-ozone algorithm uses the four longest wavelength bands (312.5, 317.5, 331.1, and 339.8 nm), whereas the profiling algorithm uses the shorter wavelengths. The cloud cover radiometer operates at 379 nm (i.e. outside the ozone absorption band) with a 3.0-nm bandpass and was designed to measure the reflectivity of the surface in the instantaneous field of view (IFOV). The SBUV/2 also makes periodic measurements of the solar flux by deploying a diffuser plate into the field of view (FOV) to reflect sunlight into the instrument. The monochromator and the cloud cover radiometer are mounted so that they look in the nadir direction with coincident nominal FOV's of 11.3 by 11.3 degrees. As the satellite moves in a Sun-synchronous orbit, the FOV traces 160-km wide paths on the ground. The earth rotates approximately 26 degrees during each orbit. The satellite footprint moves at a speed of about 6 km/sec. In discrete mode a set of 12 measurements, 1 for each discrete wavelength band, is taken every 32 seconds. The order of measurements is 252.0 to 339.8 and the integration time is 1.25 seconds per measurement. For each monochromator measurement there is a cloud cover radiometer measurement.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.5, Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2000-09\r\n \r\n \r\n publication\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Revision\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.5, Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Goodrum, Geoffrey (ed.)\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Kidwell, Katherine B.

The SBUV/2 instruments on the TIROS-N satellites are designed to measure the total ozone in a vertical column beneath the satellite and its distribution with height in the atmosphere. The SBUV/2 contains a scanning double monochromator and a cloud cover radiometer (CCR) designed to measure ultraviolet (UV) spectral intensities. In its primary mode of operation, the monochromator measures solar radiation backscatter by the atmosphere in 12 discrete wavelength bands in the near-UV, ranging from 252.0 to 339.8 nm, each with a bandpass of 1.1 nm. The total-ozone algorithm uses the four longest wavelength bands (312.5, 317.5, 331.1, and 339.8 nm), whereas the profiling algorithm uses the shorter wavelengths. The cloud cover radiometer operates at 379 nm (i.e. outside the ozone absorption band) with a 3.0-nm bandpass and was designed to measure the reflectivity of the surface in the instantaneous field of view (IFOV). The SBUV/2 also makes periodic measurements of the solar flux by deploying a diffuser plate into the field of view (FOV) to reflect sunlight into the instrument. The monochromator and the cloud cover radiometer are mounted so that they look in the nadir direction with coincident nominal FOV's of 11.3 by 11.3 degrees. As the satellite moves in a Sun-synchronous orbit, the FOV traces 160-km wide paths on the ground. The earth rotates approximately 26 degrees during each orbit. The satellite footprint moves at a speed of about 6 km/sec. In discrete mode a set of 12 measurements, 1 for each discrete wavelength band, is taken every 32 seconds. The order of measurements is 252.0 to 339.8 and the integration time is 1.25 seconds per measurement. For each monochromator measurement there is a cloud cover radiometer measurement.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.5, Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2000-09\r\n \r\n \r\n publication\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Revision\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.5, Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Goodrum, Geoffrey (ed.)\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Kidwell, Katherine B.

The magnetometer sensors can operate independently and simultaneously to measure the magnitude and direction of the Earth's geomagnetic field, detect variations in the magnetic field near the spacecraft, provide alerts of solar wind shocks or sudden impulses that impact the magnetosphere, and assess the level of geomagnetic activity. The second magnetometer sensor serves as a backup. The XRS is an x-ray telescope that observes and measures solar x-ray emissions in two ranges: one from 0.05 to 0.3 nanometers (nm) and the second from 0.1 to 0.8 nm.

The SBUV/2 instruments on the TIROS-N satellites are designed to measure the total ozone in a vertical column beneath the satellite and its distribution with height in the atmosphere. The SBUV/2 contains a scanning double monochromator and a cloud cover radiometer (CCR) designed to measure ultraviolet (UV) spectral intensities. In its primary mode of operation, the monochromator measures solar radiation backscatter by the atmosphere in 12 discrete wavelength bands in the near-UV, ranging from 252.0 to 339.8 nm, each with a bandpass of 1.1 nm. The total-ozone algorithm uses the four longest wavelength bands (312.5, 317.5, 331.1, and 339.8 nm), whereas the profiling algorithm uses the shorter wavelengths. The cloud cover radiometer operates at 379 nm (i.e. outside the ozone absorption band) with a 3.0-nm bandpass and was designed to measure the reflectivity of the surface in the instantaneous field of view (IFOV). The SBUV/2 also makes periodic measurements of the solar flux by deploying a diffuser plate into the field of view (FOV) to reflect sunlight into the instrument. The monochromator and the cloud cover radiometer are mounted so that they look in the nadir direction with coincident nominal FOV's of 11.3 by 11.3 degrees. As the satellite moves in a Sun-synchronous orbit, the FOV traces 160-km wide paths on the ground. The earth rotates approximately 26 degrees during each orbit. The satellite footprint moves at a speed of about 6 km/sec. In discrete mode a set of 12 measurements, 1 for each discrete wavelength band, is taken every 32 seconds. The order of measurements is 252.0 to 339.8 and the integration time is 1.25 seconds per measurement. For each monochromator measurement there is a cloud cover radiometer measurement.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.5, Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2000-09\r\n \r\n \r\n publication\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Revision\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.5, Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Goodrum, Geoffrey (ed.)\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Kidwell, Katherine B.

The magnetometer sensors can operate independently and simultaneously to measure the magnitude and direction of the Earth's geomagnetic field, detect variations in the magnetic field near the spacecraft, provide alerts of solar wind shocks or sudden impulses that impact the magnetosphere, and assess the level of geomagnetic activity. The second magnetometer sensor serves as a backup. The XRS is an x-ray telescope that observes and measures solar x-ray emissions in two ranges: one from 0.05 to 0.3 nanometers (nm) and the second from 0.1 to 0.8 nm. In real-time, it measures the intensity and duration of solar flares\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n METOP-A > Meteorological Operational Satellite - A\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n MetOp-A (MetOp-2) Launched: October 19, 2006.

Orbit: Sun-synchronous orbit 09.30 mean local solar time (Equator crossing, descending node), morning satellite. Mission Duration: Expected to be operational for 4.5 to 5 years operational. The NOAA satellites are deployed in \"afternoon\" orbits and MetOp will take up service in a \"morning\" orbit. NOAA and EUMETSAT will operate and control their respective polar-orbiting satellites and ground segments. However, data collected by all the satellites will be shared and exchanged between NOAA and EUMETSAT. Under the Initial Joint Polar-orbiting Operational Satellite System (IJPS) agreement between NOAA and EUMETSAT, both parties will cooperatively provide blind orbit coverage and emergency support for global data retrieval as well as for command and telemetry services.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/OSO > Office of Satellite Operations, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA / NESDIS Office of Satellite Operations, NSOF Bldg. 4231 Suitland Road\r\n \r\n \r\n Suitland\r\n \r\n \r\n MD\r\n \r\n \r\n 20746-4304\r\n \r\n \r\n USA\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n sponsor\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n EUMETSAT > European Meteorological Satellite Organisation\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n +49 6151 807345\r\n \r\n \r\n +49 6151 807538\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Am Kavalleriesand 31\r\n \r\n \r\n Darmstadt\r\n \r\n \r\n Hessen\r\n \r\n \r\n D-64295\r\n \r\n \r\n Germany\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n custodian\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n IJPS > Initial Joint Polar-orbiting Operational Satellite System\r\n \r\n \r\n sponsor\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.3, Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2000-09\r\n \r\n \r\n publication\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Revision\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n gov.noaa.ngdc.fgdccitation:27040\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Goodrum, Geoffrey (ed.)\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Kidwell, Katherine B.

It transmits a long pulse with Linear Frequency Modulation ('chirp'). Ground echoes are received by the instrument and, after de-chirping, the backscattered signal is spectrally analysed and detected. In the power spectrum, frequency can be mapped into slant range provided the chirp rate and the Doppler frequency are known. The above processing is in effect a pulse compression, which provides range resolution. Its use of six antennas allows the simultaneous coverage of two swaths on either side of the satellite ground track and hence provides twice the information of the earlier instruments. The width of each double swath is 550 km with a gap around satellite track of 700 km. On an experimental basis, ASCAT also provides measurements at a higher than nominal resolution. The ASCAT instrument may operate in three different modes, Measurement, Calibration and Test.

The instrument will measure the time delay of the refracted GPS radio signals as the ray (signal path) skirts the Earth's atmosphere on its way from the transmitting GPS satellite to MetOp. By precisely computing position and velocity of MetOp and the GPS satellite, the measured time delay can be converted to the bending angle of the ray path, which again can be converted to values of temperature, pressure and water vapor content in the atmosphere. The resulting quantities will be functions of height above sea level (from ground level up to approximately 80 km), an atmospheric profile.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n IASI > Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Infrared Michaelson Interferometer\r\n \r\n \r\n Instrument Type: Infrared Michaelson Interferometer, Operational Mode: , Collection Type: sounder, Other Information:\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.5, Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2000-09\r\n \r\n \r\n publication\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Revision\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.5, Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Goodrum, Geoffrey (ed.)\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Kidwell, Katherine B.

The magnetometer sensors can operate independently and simultaneously to measure the magnitude and direction of the Earth's geomagnetic field, detect variations in the magnetic field near the spacecraft, provide alerts of solar wind shocks or sudden impulses that impact the magnetosphere, and assess the level of geomagnetic activity. The second magnetometer sensor serves as a backup. The XRS is an x-ray telescope that observes and measures solar x-ray emissions in two ranges: one from 0.05 to 0.3 nanometers (nm) and the second from 0.1 to 0.8 nm. In real-time, it measures the intensity and duration of solar flares\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA-15 > National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration-15\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA-15 (K) - Launch: May 13, 1998.

NOAA-15 was placed in a near circular, (450nm) polar orbit. It is the seventh operational satellite in the Advanced TIROS-N series. It is the first in the series to support dedicated microwave instruments for the generation of temperature, moisture and surface hydrological products in cloudy regions where visible and infrared instruments have reduced capabilities. The spacecraft was rectangular shaped (4.2m long by 1.88m high) and powered by a 6.14m by 2.73m solar array. The satellite was Earth oriented, three-axis stabilized and weighed approximately 2200 kg.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/OSO > Office of Satellite Operations, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA / NESDIS Office of Satellite Operations, NSOF Bldg. 4231 Suitland Road\r\n \r\n \r\n Suitland\r\n \r\n \r\n MD\r\n \r\n \r\n 20746-4304\r\n \r\n \r\n USA\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n sponsor\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NASA/GSFC > Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NASA Goddard Space Flight Center\r\n \r\n \r\n Greenbelt\r\n \r\n \r\n MD\r\n \r\n \r\n 20771\r\n \r\n \r\n USA\r\n \r\n \r\n daacuso@daac.gsfc.nasa.gov\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 9 AM to 5 PM ET\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n sponsor\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 1997\r\n \r\n \r\n publication\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n gov.noaa.ngdc.fgdccitation:26722\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Cracknell, Arthur P.\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Taylor & Francis\r\n \r\n \r\n publisher\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA KLM User's Guide, Section 3.1, Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer/3 (AVHRR/3)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2000-09\r\n \r\n \r\n publication\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n September 2000 Revision\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n gov.noaa.ngdc.fgdccitation:26723\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Goodrum, Geoffrey (ed.)\r\n \r\n \r\n originator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Kidwell, Katherine B.

The magnetometer sensors can operate independently and simultaneously to measure the magnitude and direction of the Earth's geomagnetic field, detect variations in the magnetic field near the spacecraft, provide alerts of solar wind shocks or sudden impulses that impact the magnetosphere, and assess the level of geomagnetic activity. The second magnetometer sensor serves as a backup. The XRS is an x-ray telescope that observes and measures solar x-ray emissions in two ranges: one from 0.05 to 0.3 nanometers (nm) and the second from 0.1 to 0.8 nm. In real-time, it measures the intensity and duration of solar flares\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n","source_transform":null,"status":"error"}
