NASA Software of the Year Award
2003
Recipient:
The SeaWiFS Data Analysis System (SeaDAS)
From the start of the Sea-viewing Wide Field of view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Project in 1991 at NASA/GSFC, providing rapid and easy data access to the user community has been a primary objective along with ensuring that the data were of the highest possible quality. For NASA to maximize its investment in Earth remote sensing, data not only must be delivered to the user community in a timely manner but, the users must have the tools to work with the data. The SeaWiFS Data Analysis System (SeaDAS) was the answer to providing data display, processing, and analysis support. SeaDAS was designed to identically reproduce all the standard products, including levels 1, 2, and 3 (raw telemetry counts to level 3 global mapped geophysical products), generated by the SeaWiFS Project Office (SPO), while providing users the flexibility of customized processing by adjusting processing parameters or selecting alternative processing methods. SeaDAS is provided as packaged executable software and source code (for those who wanted to incorporate new capabilities), and also includes on-line help, demonstrations, along with very responsive e-mail and telephone support. Additional requirements were for SeaDAS to run on affordable and commonly used desktop systems, e.g., Silicon Graphics and Sun Microsystems Unix workstations, and have an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI). Later, support was added for PC Linux systems, which greatly expanded the user base, especially overseas. SeaWiFS was successfully launched in 1997 and has since provided continuous Earth observations. SeaDAS was broadly distributed prior to launch and was used by many in the research community to evaluate the initial SeaWiFS data on the first day of operations. Today, SeaDAS is being used at over 500 sites in nearly 50 countries.

Christopher S Lynnes (610.2)
Dr. Lynnes' greatest contributions to IS&T are the systems whose design and construction he led on behalf of NASA Earth Science research and applications, including the Goddard Distributed Active Archive Center's (DAAC) first operational system, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Support System (TSS), the Web Hierarchical Ordering Mechanism (WHOM), which was a major contributor to the successful, timely processing of MODIS data and the Simple Scalable Script-based Science Processor (S4P).
