  3. Agenda

  4. Progress and Action Item Review Presented by Diane Davies Phil Durbin Feng Ding Karen Horrocks Ed Masuoka Ryan Boller LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  5. Status • LANCE users • LANCE users register as part of the central URS so we now longer have a figure for total registered users. • Over 200 registered users downloading data each week. Of these 160 are unique; over 40 users download data from 2 or more instruments. • In excess of 100,000 downloads each week from anonymous users accessing imagery through Rapid Response. • Metrics for Worldview and GIBS being implemented. • More than 14,000 fire email alerts sent per week from FIRMS. Over 400 unique email subscriptions. • In 2012 LANCE archived 7.55 TB and distributed 16.02 TB per week* • *excludes AMSR-E LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  6. LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  7. Status • Access to NRT Data and Imagery is steadily increasing • Consistent upward trend showing increasing access to the LANCE and NRT pages • Drop in weekend access is only 30-40% (compared to 50-70% for other EMS metrics) * Excludes metadata ** Includes the NRT products from GHRC and MODAPS LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  8. ** Includes the NRT products from GHRC and MODAPS FY2012 Annual Report

  9. Latency - Annual Comparison EDOS ground system upgrades

  10. Updates from LANCE Elements LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  11. Updates for OMI Instrument status is essentially unchanged over the past year. • Performs nominal (with exception of row anomaly). • Row anomaly has not become worse. • For those unfamiliar, the rows on one side of the instrument have an external blockage which results effects about 1/3 of the pixels. • No new anomalies over the last year. LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  12. Updates for OMI • Incorporated new versions of the retrieval algorithms for Clouds, Ozone, and SO2 • We expect to update the Aerosol algorithm • We are in the process of adding the NRT data into the Echo The agreement between the standard and NRT products remains good: LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  13. LANCE-AIRS LANCE-MLS Status Feng Ding Feng.Ding@nasa.gov Bruce Vollmer Bruce.E.Vollmer@nasa.gov Mike Theobald Michael.L.Theobald@nasa.gov LANCE User Working Group Meeting May 1, 2013

  14. Overview (1) • Summary of LANCE AIRS Products • AIRS L1B version 5 (VIS/NIR radiances, microwave brightness temps) • AIRS L2 version 6(standard retrieval, cloud cleared radiances, support product) • AIRS images via WMS (VIS radiances, CO, Bt_diff_SO2, Prata_SO2, Dust score, Precipitation) • Aqua attitude/ephemeris • Summary of LANCE MLS Products • MLS L2 version 3.4 (Temperature, Water Vapor, O3, CO, HNO3, N2O, SO2) • Aura attitude/ephemeris

  15. Overview (2) • NRT versus Standard • AIRS • Version 5 and 6 algorithms running in both systems (same code) for level 1 and level 2 products respectively • Working on updating the science quality document of NRT vs Standard for version 6 algorithm, and expecting similar result as version 5. • MLS • MLS NRT Temperature and Ozone data lower quality than standard products • Streamlined L2 algorithm utilized to meet latency requirements • NRT products are 15 minute granules; standard products are daily files

  16. Element Changes • New Version Algorithm • AIRS Version 6 for level 2 product • MLS Version 3 • New AIRS WMS Images SO2 from Prata algorithm, Precipitation • New MLS Product Water vapor, CO, HNO3, N2O, SO2

  17. Updates for MODIS – past year • released value-added MODIS aerosol optical depth product MxDAODHD. • integrated browse image processing with near real-time production and released improved browse images. • integrated FIRMS into the the NASA Earthdata web site. • added new data sets to the subset, tiled data delivered to the flood watch team including cloud top temperature and pressure. LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  18. MODIS – planned activities • Update quality information with additional example images comparing near real-time and science quality products and statistics. • Replace Rapid Response subset with GIBS tiled images during collection 6 science reprocessing. • Implement daily BRDF in near real-time production once the plan is approved. • Investigate adding new data sets to the subset, tiled data delivered to the flood watch team including cloud optical thickness. • Implement collection 6 in near real-time production once science reprocessing is complete. LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  19. Summary progress on 2012 UWG Action Items and Recommendations Of the 33 recommendations: 29 are complete, 2 will not be implemented and 2 are in progress. LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  20. Redesign of LANCE Website • To harmonize access to NRT and Science products with a consolidated website and • improve user interface and allow easier access to products Highlights • Part of the Earth Data site • Easier for new users • Quick Links to ‘get data’ • External Data page • Oceans NRT data (PO DAAC) • Direct Readout Laboratory • AMSR-2 • Suomi NPP • Links to Science Quality data and difference between NRT and Science data LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  21. Redesign of LANCE Website • to improve user interface and allow easier access to products • User feedback is now ticketed and handled through the EOSDIS User Support Tool • More prominent links to Worldview and GIBS • Hazards and Disasters page • Based on the user matrix • Information on potentially useful data sets • Permalinks to Worldview example • Description and link to Earth Observatory article LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  22. EOSDIS Worldview and Imagery Services • Driving Goal • Provide interactive, full resolution product viewing capability for EOSDIS products; LANCE NRT products are being used as a pathfinder for a more general capability • Approach • Worldview provides a highly responsive interface to explore full resolution NASA Earth imagery in a Google Maps-like manner that users have come to expect • The Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) provide the imagery in a standardized manner to Worldview and any other client

  23. EOSDIS Worldview/GIBS Status • Since the last time: • New products • NRL MODIS Combined Value-Added Aerosol Optical Depth • MODIS Global 250m Water Map • Seven MLS products (currently being prototyped) • Greater time range ofimagery available • Full-resolution imagery download capability • Polar stereographic projections • Service standardization to Open Geospatial Consortium WMTS • Color bars / legends • For the next time: • Data granule selection and download • Mobile Imagery archive expansion • Full MODIS record of existing products generated from C6 science products • Prototyping of ASTER and Landsat WELD products • Metadata improvements • System redundancy improvements

  36. Note: Latency metrics represent the worst case scenario. OMI had a number of anomalies linked to delayed processing on the back up server, reflected in this chart. Data processed from the primary server was generally available to NRT users within the required latency, LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

  37. Comments from Users accessing NRT imagery through Worldview “First of all I want to thank you for the extraordinary effort and valuable resource you are developing. Here in Nicaragua we are very interested in extreme events specifically drought hazards, wildfire and storms related events and this tools proofs to be of exceptional application for monitoring and evaluation of situations” “This is perfect, not only for today's problem but as a resource in general.  We downloaded a geotif from the site and had full capabilities to interrogate the image” “I have been looking at Mount Takahe in Antarctica … and it is brilliant for being able to keep the same area in view and then jump forward or backward a day at a time” “This is a really impressive product for the study of aerosols. The overlay options are great” LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013

To give you some idea of the power of Worldview, here's a "close up" image of Cape Morris Jesup, the most northerly point in Greenland, taken on March 18th 2013… Cracks appearing in the sea ice north of Cape Morris Jesup on March 18th 2013 Two days later here is NASA Worldview's take on recent events in that one small part the Arctic… Cracks in the sea ice north of Cape Morris Jesup have grown by March 20th 2013 As you can see, the United States Navy's predictions a couple of days ago about what would happen to the Arctic sea ice in the near future are starting to come true” http://neven1.typepad.com/blog/2013/03/crack-is-bad-for-you-and-sea-ice/comments/page/3/ LANCE UWG Telecom - 1st May 2013
