Data Access

Source: http://www.goes-r.gov/users/user-systems.html

Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS); NOAA’s information technology system designed

to support long-term, secure preservation andstandards-based access to environmental datacollections and information .◦ There are 80 data families in CLASS.◦ Each family of data may contain many data types.◦ Altogether there are 300 datasets in CLASS

accessible through its web interface.◦ The most popular are the original radiance datasets

from GOES, POES, and S-NPP.◦ Data distribution formats available are raw, AREA,

NetCDF, GIF, and JPEG

CLASS Access

Step 1: Register for a user id account athttps://www.class.ngdc.noaa.gov/saa/products/user_profile

Step 2: Select from the drop downproduct menu and highlight a dataset;

Step 3: On the Search page make yourselections (geographic region, start/enddates and times, and data types);

Step 4: Determine if you need greateraccess or a subscription.

Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS)

AWIPS II is a weather forecasting display andanalysis package being developed by theNational Weather Service and Raytheon.

AWIPS II is an open-source Java applicationwhich consists of the EDEX data server toingest and decode meteorological data sets,and the CAVE client for data rendering andanalysis.

Source code is available athttp://unidata.github.io/awips2/docs/install/install-cave.html

AWIPS System Requirements EDEX Data Server◦ Operating System 64-bit Red Hat / CentOS 6 (x86_64) ◦ CPUs Min 4 cores, recommend 8 ◦ RAM Min 8 GB, recommend 16 (2xJVM at

1.5GB, one at 4 GB) ◦ Disk Space Min 250 GB, recommend 500 GB 256 GB Solid State Drive Required for high-volume data

ingest (NEXRAD3 and CONDUIT gfs/gefs) CAVE Client◦ Operating System 64-bit Red Hat / CentOS 6 (x86_64)

Memory/RAM Min 4 GB ◦ Disk Space 650 MB ◦ Video/Graphics Adapter NVIDIA GPU with 2 GB video

memory and OpenGL support

AWIPS Data Distribution The University Corporation for Atmospheric

Research (UCAR) has funds to install a GOES-Rdownlink;

Imagery and products that will be ingestedavailable to as wide a user base as possible mainlythrough remote server (e.g., McIDAS ADDE, TDSand potentially AWIPS EDEX) access;

Internet Data Distribution (IDD) system to"push“ products to end users, but there arerestrictions on who can participate in the IDD.

The data is pushed continuously through IDDwith a peak rate of 60GB and it is growing.

Production Distribution and Access (PDA) Purpose of the Production Distribution and Access

(PDA) system is to serve as a distribution system for near real-time users.

Products which will be available are:• GOES-R• S-NPP/JPSS

To access PDA, requestors must: • Have an operational need for near real-time data• Agree to adhere to the rules of behavior on the Data

Access Request form• Understand that requests may be prioritized due to data

volume issues.• Send data access request form to:

NESDIS.data.access@noaa.gov

GRB Systems GS L1b Processing System 4.5 M antenna with standard feed GRB processing system Visualization system

Hardware ( computer, monitor, UPS) Proprietary software Software license

Factory test System documentation Training One year warranty

User Provisions External site survey:

Is there line of site to either 75°W or 137°W for the proposed location of the antenna?

Is the location clear of interference which could affect the downlink at 1686.6MHz?

Will the proposed site minimize potential wind damage? Internal Site survey:

Is there sufficient space to house the rack for the receiver equipment, demodulator and ancillary equipment

Electrical outlet for the UPS? Is the space for the visualization equipment which may

include two (2) monitors? License to use the frequency 1686.6MHz.
