The Earth Science Data Systems Working Groups were established to engage the science community in defining concepts for future data systems to improve interoperability, reduce costs, and increase scientific productivity.
The Global Change Master Directory enables users to locate and obtain access to Earth science data sets and services relevant to global change and Earth science research.
The NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group supports the collection, processing, calibration, validation, archive and distribution of ocean-related products from a number of missions.
The Precipitation Processing System (PPS) processes and analyzes and rainfall and other data from Precipitation based missions. It also provides validation from nearly a dozen TRMM ground radar sites.
Prior to “Superstorm Sandy” landing on the U.S. East Coast in October 2012, another hurricane – Isaac – captured headlines and posed a serious danger to the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
Isaac threatened the same region that had been devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Isaac made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane almost exactly seven years after Category 3 Katrina.
Aquarius, NASA’s first satellite instrument specifically built to study the salt content of ocean surface waters, has shown some remarkable variations in its first year of data.
If NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center were to write a holiday letter, there would be no shortage of highlights to share. Gathered here are just a few of the shining moments from the Goddard 'household' in 2012.
provides multi-mission data and information systems to generate and distribute products from Earth observing satellites;
supports collaboration to promote the interchange and reuse of technology, data and services among developers and users;
conducts research in algorithm development, product validation, data discovery and science applications; and
leverages staff expertise in system management, system development, standards and program support on behalf of external organizations.
