What is Direct Broadcast?
NASA
Data streamed in real-time from the satellite to the earth as soon as the data are collected.
What is Direct Readout?Data collected by a satellite dish in real-time from a satellite travelling overhead.
Ocean sensors with direct broadcast

How is this different from “normal” data?
NASA image
NASA Aqua Example• Aqua circles the earth 14 times a day.• Data for an entire orbit is stored on the satellite
and then dumped down to two main ground stationsas the satellite passes over them:
Poker Flat, Alaska Svalbard, Norway• An entire orbit of data is then sent to NASA for processing.
These data are not available in real-time.

Why use direct broadcast data?
• pollution monitors• oil spill cleanup• research vessels• search and rescue• natural disaster monitoring• fisheries and aquaculture?
Who needs ocean direct broadcast data?

support for direct broadcast data
NASA Direct Readout Laboratory (DRL)http://directreadout.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/Patrick Coronado, Kelvin Brentzel
• a voice for the direct readout community• source of information• develop software for direct readout data processing
• e.g. IPOPP: International Polar Orbiter Processing Package
The NASA DRL is seeking input from end-users of ocean satellite data
to determine possible future directions.
