  1. PODAG.18April 25-26, 2001 Ron Weaver NSIDC DAAC Manager

  2. Topics • DAAC Alliance • NewDISS • ECS Follow on Contract • Budget Report

  3. DAAC Alliance

  4. DAAC Alliance • Effort by the DAACS to: • coordinate work on common issues and problems • establish some self-governance and thus independence from ESDIS/NASA • prepare ourselves for the next era of NASA data management, which appears headed for a more distributed, competitive environment • Elected Officers: • Don Collins (JPL) chair 2/01 to 3/02 • Ron Weaver (NSIDC), vice-chair 2/01 to 3/02, then chair 3/02 to 3/03 • Written a draft strategic management plan • Written a draft charter, now trying to obtain institutional support

  5. DAAC Alliance: Tasks The Alliance will attempt collaborative development of position statements, working partnerships etc. to advance the following: • New DISS Formulation • Contribute to Formulation Team work by working on establishment of standards (data, metadata, protocols, interfaces, user services). • Data Stewardship • Write data center responsibilities. • Data Distribution • Collaborate on improved distribution methods. • Billing and Accounting

  6. New DISS New Data Information Systems and Services … A 6 to 10 year approach to Data Systems and Services for NASA’s Earth Science Enterprise

  7. New DISS • GSFC New Program Formulation Team Authorized • Dr. Steve Wharton Vanessa Griffin Ken McDonald Gail McConaughy Matt Schwaller • Team meets weekly at GSFC • Expect to have draft plan ready by October 2001 (means much of the work will be done this summer)

  8. ECS Follow-on Contract ESDIS Maintenance and Development Contract (EMD)

  9. EMD • EMD is to be a contract that continues support of the ECS contract, which ends October 31, 2002. • It will: • assure uninterrupted processing, archiving, access and distribution of EOS data • maximize science return while minimizing costs • foster a distributed, heterogeneous network of data management capabilities for ESE, leveraging off of current systems with graceful evolution

  10. EMD: Scope • Responsibility for the SDMS maintenance and development • hardware and software corrective, adaptive and perfective maintenance and development • ongoing systems engineering functions in support of new requirements and improvements to deployed system • support science community interface to the SDMS • support SDMS operations community • maintain and develop external non-SDMS components

  11. EMD: considerations • Task based contract • What is the scope of the contract? • Maintenance • +? Development • +? Operations • Governance • Desire to include DAACs in the process … • but how? (past history is not supportive) • Priority board

  12. ECS background • The ECS: • 12.1 million source lines of code • about 50 COTS packages • ingest and distribute about 2 TB of data per day • archive 9 pedabytes • 1300 science data types • about 30K mflops of science processing • ECS at four sites, deployed on 12 to 25 core enterprise class unix servers per DAAC • 35 external interfaces • 5 million items (tunable parameters, data types etc. under configuration control

  13. NSIDC DAAC Budget

  14. NSIDC DAAC Budget • Appears to be adequate through FY01 • Budget Actions since last PoDAG • Augmentation for Security Coordinator • Augmentation for increased operational hours • Data Systems Engineering (DSE) projects partly funded • Polar Spatial Query • ECS External subset server

  15. NRC Data Review, (yes another one) • Congressional enabling language in FYOO requested a study of availability and usefulness of data from NASA’s earth and space enterprises. • Space Studies Board conducting study • So far, we have responded to a questionnaire from the NRC. • We do not expect much additional contact.

  16. Staffing Changes • Operations Supervisor • Ann Bessenbacher leaving 4 May • User Services Office • Diana Starr leaving in early June • Tracy Thrasher - Hybl leaving in June • Clerical Support • Carol Pedigo leaving end of June

  17. EOS Instrument Status • TERRA MODIS • Snow and Ice Data released • Ingest rates are stable, but have concerns when reprocessing starts • AQUA - December 2001? • AMSR • MODIS • ICESat December 2001 or February 2002? • GLAS • ADEOS II Later in 2002 • AMSR

  18. BACKUP SLIDES

  19. LTA of EOS Data • LTA will be under NOAA auspices if and when NOAA acquires funds • Implementation plan is being written • Options: • NCDC, NGDC get the data (ours goes to NGDC) • Archive in Place • Two others that probably will not be implemented • Level of Service determined by NOAA, most likely charges for data will be implemented

  20. EOS Science Linkages • Following chart was provided by Vanessa Griffin. It depicts her understanding of science linkages within the EOS • (It was to have been updated, but has not)
