WORKING TOGETHER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF NASA EARTH SCIENCE DATA SYSTEMS FOR THE FUTURE

‣ ESDIS pulls together a consistent approach to EOSDIS data management that allows integrated view of all data- Single Earthdata Login system that all DAACs can use

- Standardized access to browse imagery for all datasets

- Establishment of standards for use across program

- Access point to all NASA Earth Science datasets

- Code repositories to improve software sharing among DAACs

‣ GHRC DAAC focuses on meeting the needs of data users - The mission of the GHRC DAAC is to provide a comprehensive active archive of both data

and knowledge augmentation services with a focus on hazardous weather, its governing dynamical and physical processes, and associated applications. Within this broad mandate, GHRC will focus on lightning, tropical cyclones and storm-induced hazards through integrated collections of satellite, airborne, and in-situ data sets.

- Managing the needs of the DAAC users

- Improving the exchange of data and information between Earth scientists and data users

- Share DAAC expertise with the user community

- Provide support to the research and educational communities engaged in the use of atmospheric data related to lightning, tropical cyclones, and storm-induced hazards.

WORKING TOGETHER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF NASA EARTH SCIENCE DATA SYSTEMS FOR THE FUTURE

‣ The GHRC User Working Group

- UWG members comprise users, data providers, scientists, NASA HQ, data center members, and ESDIS

§ The Roles of the GHRC User Working Group include:- Assist in defining and accomplishing the DAAC's science goals

- Provide guidance on DAAC data management priorities

- Provide guidance on DAAC activities, including data set acquisition, development of value-added products, user support, development activities, and operational functions

- Provide recommendations about DAAC annual work plans and long-range planning

- Coordinate science issues with the ESDIS Project staff and HQ Program Scientists.

Cloud Evolution (ExCEL) Project Estimated Daily Data Volume Over 5 Years

* 47 PB annually

GETTING PROTOTYPES AND ANALYSIS EFFORTS UNDERWAY NOW:NEAR-TERM MOTIVATION

Growth of Mission Data & Processing: Projected rapid archive growth and the need to effectively process significantly larger volumes of new mission data requires rethinking existing architectures. Est 132 TB daily ingest by 2022!

Data Systems: More cost effective, flexible, and scalable data system ingest, archive, and distribution solutions are needed to keep pace with new mission advancement and capabilities

Science Users: Significantly larger data volumes requires additional ways to access and utilize this data, with “Data Close to Compute”

GOODBYE REVERB: HELLO EARTHDATA SEARCH!

REVERB IS RETIRING

EOSDIS’s Reverb data search and discovery system retires on January 1, 2018, and

will be fully replaced by Earthdata Search. Here’s what this means for you:

Earthdata Search will be the primary user interface for searching NASA’s

Earth Observation data archives

Using the Common Metadata Repository, or CMR, Earthdata Search

provides sub-second searches through the entire EOSDIS data collection.

Improvements to the map and user interface make finding data products and visualizing measurements easier.

Improvements to the overall workflow will make ordering data products easier.

!

"

#

$

Improved search with natural language processing.

Provide feedback on yoursearch experience.

Updated facet list for easier filtering of collection results.

New Timeline feature allows you to visually see temporal coverages of selected collections.

‣ NASA commits to the full and open sharing of Earth science data obtained from NASA Earth observing satellites, sub-orbital platforms and field campaigns with all users as soon as such data become available.

‣ There will be no period of exclusive access to NASA Earth science data. Following a post-launch checkout period, all data will be made available to the user community. Any variation in access will result solely from user capability, equipment, and connectivity.

‣ NASA will make available all NASA-generated standard products along with the source code for algorithm software, coefficients, and ancillary data used to generate these products.

‣ All NASA Earth science missions, projects, and grants and cooperative agreements shall include data management plans to facilitate the implementation of these data principles.

‣ NASA will enforce a principle of non-discriminatory data access so that all users will be treated equally. For data products supplied from an international partner or another agency, NASA will restrict access only to the extent required by the appropriate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
