  1. Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) John Furgerson, NOAA User Liaison Joint Polar Satellite System

  2. Status Fiscal Year NOAA – 19 NPP JPSS-1 TBD JPSS-2 Free-flyer MetOp-A MetOp-B MetOp-C GCOM-W1 Block 1.2 Block 1.5 Block 2.0 Block 3.0 Post Launch Testing and Calibration/Validation Operational Joint Polar Satellite System

  3. System Description(Space Segment) NPPSatellite VIIRS CrIS ATMS OMPS CERES Joint Polar Satellite System

  4. Benefits(Improvements) • VIIRS ( with ocean color) significant improvement over AVHRR • AVHRR prone to large errors in: • Discriminating clouds from snow / fog • Poor navigation and sensitivity for adequate fire location • Poor spatial resolution at edge of scan • AVHRR in mid-morning orbit suffers from insufficient solar illumination for accurate measurements NOAA-19 AVHRR 11-24-11 2000Z Joint Polar Satellite System 4 NPP VIIRS 11-24-11 1845Z

  5. Benefits(Summary) • Maintains continuity of critical environmental data for weather forecasting, climate analysis and environmental monitoring • Improvement in data latency • Increases timeliness and accuracy of severe weather event forecasts • VIIRS will provide advanced imaging will improve weather and oceanographic support, fire and volcano analysis, and surface oil monitoring • CrIS and ATMS will provide advanced atmospheric temperature, moisture and pressure profiles for support of improved NWP forecasts Joint Polar Satellite System 5
