JPSS provides a wide range of capabilities § Microwave – provides temperature and moisture soundings in cloudy conditions and rainfall rates, sea ice, snow, surface temperature - ATMS § Infrared – provides high vertical resolution Temperature X-Section Polar Vortex OMPS- Volcano SO2 degassing temperature and moisture soundings in clear and cloud corrected regions; atmospheric chemistry - CO, CH4, SO2, … and cloud products - CrIS § Visible (day & night) and Infrared Imagery (including deep blue channels) – chlorophyll, cloud imagery, cloud products, SST, Active Algae in Lake Erie Fires, Smoke, Aerosols, land products, Snow, Ice, oil spills… at exceptional resolution/global coverage - VIIRS § UV - ozone - Aerosols over bright surfaces, DNB Ice detection SO2 plumes, NOx (air quality)… - OMPS OMPS Aerosols from Fires NSC 2017 R2O Panel 2

Flood and River Ice Initiatve Galena, AK Floods May 2013 § VIIRS can identify river ice jams which can lead to large flood events § Flooding from ice jams can occur in a very short time § Flooding can occur from snow melt and heavy rains NSC 2017 R2O Panel 8

Foundation to Proving Ground • Enterprise algorithms and Cal/Val Program • Direct Readout Capabilities – CSPP • STAR R&D Services • User workshops and Training • Management commitment • Innovation Guam station: Spring 2017 NSC 2017 R2O Panel 9

Summary § Research to Operations is more than developing new products and transitioning them to NESDIS Operations. § Its more about the utilization of NESDIS Operational Products by User Applications (fire products in NWS smoke models). § Every satellite program needs to invest in a User Readiness Program ( Proving Ground) because the goal is to reach the top of the pyramid even though the base of the pyramid is extremely important.
