Data Access Services• Current Access Services (in addition to Direct Broadcast)

– Data Distribution Service (DDS) – (s)FTP push/pull from secure accounts *

– NWS Telecommunications Gateway– GINI (GOES Ingest and NOAAPORT Interface) / NOAAPORT for

Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS)– SATEPSDIST – GOES, POES, and Derived Products; McIDAS *– Shared Processing DAPE Gateway – for military partners *– MODIS server – subset of products made by NASA *– Websites - http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/ * Require Data Access Request

• Archival– NODC, NGDC, and NCDC archive data products using CLASS

McIDAS Data Delivery SummarySATEPSDIST – Geostationary satellite data is ingested on a Satellite Data Ingestor (SDI),

converted to McIDAS format and placed on a server. In addition, some foreign geostationary data, polar data, model data and

derived products are converted into McIDAS. This data is served via McIDAS ADDE software:

– Data NSOF Server ADDE Name– Derived Products SATEPSDIST1e DPD– GOES-E SATEPSDIST2e GER– GOES-W SATEPSDIST3e GWR– Polar SATEPSDIST4e PLR– Model data SATEPSDIST5 MOD– Global Mosaic 5 Sat. Comp. SATEPSDIST6 MOS– MSG/MET SATEPSDIST6e MSG / MET– MTSAT SATEPSDIST7e MTS– Select requested data SATEPSANONE PUB (not operational)– Surface/Ship Buoy/RAOBs FOS2 FOS (Family of Services)

Sample of GINI and AWIPS Products• Created and distributed through GINI

– Imagery– Sounder “images”

• Created outside of GINI, but distributed through GINI– Five satellite composite files (VIS, IR, WV)– Sounder Derived Products (TPW, LI, CTP, ECA, Skin-T)– Imager Derived Products (LCB)– Polar (POES and DMSP) microwave derived products (TPW, Rain Rate, blended TPW) – SSM/I AMSU Blended RR products

• Created outside of GINI, distributed outside of GINI, but appearing within AWIPS– Precipitation Autoestimator (PG on satepsdist1, PD from DDS to AWIPS)– GOES BUFR and POES BUFR Soundings– High Density Winds– ASCAT– Text Messages: SPENES, VAA, Tropical Bulletins, Help Desk messages– ASOS Satellite Cloud Products

Data Access & Distribution PolicyContact: NESDIS.data.access@noaa.gov

• Full policy and forms at http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Organization/About/access.html

• Security requirement to know and document all users accessing operational data servers and what products they are receiving

– Users request data using a Data Access Request (DAR) form.

• Ever increasing data volumes require prioritization of users to effectively manage data distribution resources to ensure effective system performance

• Higher priority access will be given to organizations with:– Mission and statutory authority that supports the requirement for data access– Signed NESDIS cooperative agreements or other legislative authorities– A demonstrated timeliness requirement for near-real time satellite data and products to

support operational user applications.

• If available, users will be directed to sources of data that are external to NESDIS but still fulfill data requirement.

• We will make best efforts to recommend alternative distribution sources for users that are denied access to operational servers.

12OFFICE OF SATELLITE AND PRODUCT OPERATIONS

• DDS Re-Validation was accomplished in 2012– Migration to new DDS was completed– There was a 17% reduction in the number of approved accounts

• SATEPSDIST Re-Validation starting around May 1– Part of migration to new GEODIST servers– GEODIST will likely host ONLY McIDAS ADDE access– McIDAS GROUP/DESCRIPTOR access restrictions will be enacted for external users– It very important users identify all datasets they need– All non-McIDAS files will be served via DDS

• Contact information for SATEPSDIST users were not well maintained, so if you are a current user who has not been contacted, let us know ASAP to get a DAR form.

• GEODIST scheduled to be operational in Aug (may be delayed) -- Planning for 30 days parallel test period prior to becoming operational -- Planning to have SATEPSDIST run with 8x5 support for 2 weeks after cut-over date.

Data Access & Distribution

13OFFICE OF SATELLITE AND PRODUCT OPERATIONS

• New enterprise system Product Distribution and Access (PDA) is coming

• Will be used for legacy GOES/POES, NPP, IJPS and GOES-R data access

• Operational for legacy and NPP planned for Oct 2014 – talk to follow

• McIDAS ADDE access will remain on GEODIST
