Environmental Satellite Resource Center (ESRC)
The ESRC, developed by The COMET Program in association with NPOESS/IPO and NOAA/NESDIS, is a web-based search tool for finding useful satellite resources in areas ranging from satellite systems and applications, to data products, cases and examples, and education and training materials for both low-earth orbiting and geostationary environmental satellites. The ESRC offers multiple search options for accessing satellite materials for all knowledge levels.
EUMETSAT Metop and NOAA Services
Provides information on access to near real-time and archived Metop data and products as they become available for operational dissemination. Test data and products are also available. The Web site also contains information about local, regional, and global access to data from NOAA polar-orbiting satellites.
EC/MSC (Environment Canada/Meteorological Service of Canada)
Provides links to GOES and NOAA polar imagery over Canada (both still images and animations).
MODIS Home Page (NASA)
Provides links to news, data and products, product algorithm information, presentations, publications,
science team Web pages, and related sites.
MODIS Direct Broadcast at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Contains information about MODIS direct broadcast capabilities, with links to overpass prediction software and output and real-time direct broadcast imagery generated at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
MODIS Direct Broadcast at SSEC - University of Wisconsin-Madison
Provides orbital track plots and access to “quicklook” MODIS imagery as well as seven-day MODIS level-1b data in HDF format as received by SSEC's X-band antenna for both Terra and Aqua satellites. Provides information about the International MODIS/AIRS Processing Package (IMAPP) for processing of direct broadcast data.
Naval Research Laboratory
Satellite Meteorology Home Page
Provides a browse capability for near real-time geostationary
and polar-orbiting satellite image products for select land
and oceanic regions spanning the globe. Links to product tutorials
are included as well.
Naval
Research Laboratory Tropical Cyclone Web Site
Users can view merged imagery and global data sets derived from geostationary and polar-orbiting instruments.
Can also view warning and track forecasts with matching satellite imagery. Data sets are updated in near real-time.
NOAA/NWS/NCEP/EMC/OMB (Ocean Modeling Branch) Sea Ice Home Page
Provides links to products and information on sea ice analysis from satellite and its uses in regional analyses
and global modeling. OMB microwave-based sea ice products currently support sea ice analysis efforts at the Anchorage,
Alaska WSFO, as well as sea ice and weather modeling activities at NCEP. Follow the "Daily Sea Ice Analyses" link for
product examples.
NOAA/NESDIS Marine Observing Products
Provides links to real-time SSM/I, scatterometer wind data for both ERS-2 and QuikSCAT,
sea surface temperature, ocean color, and other data related to ocean properties.
NOAA/NESDIS Microwave Integrated Retrieval System (MIRS)
Provides a one-stop shop for microwave products from various satellites and supersedes the NESDIS MSPPS system.
MIRS produces near real-time surface and precipitation products, as well as vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and moisture over
ocean and non-coastal land areas.
Data are available in a variety of formats, and retrospective data dating from August 30, 2007 are available from the National Climatic
Center's CLASS site (Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System).
NOAA/NESDIS Microwave Surface and Precipitation Products System (MSPPS)
Provides information and product access relevant to NOAA's
operational microwave products processing system, MSPPS. MSPPS
produces near real-time surface and precipitation products
from AMSU-A and -B brightness temperatures. Derived products
include total precipitable water, cloud liquid water, ice water
path, rain rate, snow cover and water equivalent, sea ice,
land surface temperature, and other parameters.
NOAA/NESDIS Office of Satellite Data Processing & Distribution (OSDPD):
Quantitative POES Satellite Products
Serves as a portal for access to a wealth of POES information
and products related to a variety of NOAA operational processing
systems (e.g. POES sounding products from the ATOVS system,
POES derived product imagery from the MSPSS system, AVHRR and MODIS imagery
and vegetation products, ocean products from the Environmental
Products System (EPS), cloud track winds, ozone measurements from the
Operational Ozone Product System (OOPS), DMSP SSM/I microwave products
from the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and NOAA Shared Processing Program (SPP)).
NOAA/NESDIS
Tropical Products Page & TRaP (Tropical Rainfall Potential) Home
Page:
Serves as a portal to real-time satellite-based products including
the TRaP (Tropical Rainfall Potential) product for tropical
latitudes around the globe. A link to a separate TRaP Web page
provides information on product development, best practices,
validation activities, and relevant training, while graphics
and rainrate imagery are available in both real-time and for
archived tropical cyclone events dating from 2006 to the present.
Naval Research Laboratory NexSat Web Site
This site offers near real-time access to polar-orbiting and geostationary satellite imagery and derived products
over the conterminous United States and Hawaii from several research and operational satellites. Model data from FNMOC
(Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center) and data from the National Lightning Detection Network®
are also accessible from the site.
The NexSat Web site serves as a public educational resource provided by NRL (Navy Research Laborabory) and the NPOESS
Integrated Program Office to preview capabilities of the VIIRS imaging instrument on NPP & NPOESS spacecraft.
