Webinar: Making Waves: PO.DAAC’s Journey from Servers to a Cloud Environment

Why is the NASA Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) and the NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) moving to the cloud?

This webinar, addresses your burning questions about the move to the cloud, what it means for the data, services, and resources PO.DAAC provides, and what it means for the data user community. You will learn about this paradigm shift, in the context of a NASA EOSDIS DAAC, what tools and services, as well as data, are anticipated to be cloud-based shortly, and learn about other PO.DAAC efforts to expand data accessibility and usability, including consideration for interoperability and making data more GIS-ready.

 

GHRSST NAVO MetOp-A/B/C Level-2P version 2.0 Datasets Release

2020-07-29

The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of the GHRSST NAVO MetOp-A/B/C Level-2P version 2.0 (v2.0) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) datasets based on the AVHRR sensor. The MetOp satellite program is a European multi-satellite program to provide weather data services for monitoring climate and improving weather forecasts. MetOp-A,  MetOp-B and Metop-C were respectively launched on 19 Oct. 2006, 17 Sept. 2012 and 7 Nov. 2018.

We are pleased to announce an update to the PO.DAAC State of the Ocean (SOTO) visualization tool. Version 4.5.0 includes the full dataset record for the GHRSST 0.25deg MUR Sea Surface Temperature v4.2 , as well as version updates to the Sea Surface Height Anomaly v1812, JPL SMAP Sea Surface Salinity v4.3, RSS SMAP Sea Surface Salinity v4, GRACE/GRACE-FO Mascon Equivalent Water Height CRI Filtered Release 06 v2 and MODIS Aqua and Terra Sea Surface Temperature v2019.0.

Data In Action: NASA CYGNSS mission - tracking winds from space

The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), launched on 15 December 2016, is a NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder Mission that was designed with the purpose to collect the first frequent space-based measurements of surface wind speeds in the inner core of tropical cyclones. Made up of a constellation of eight micro-satellites, the CYGNSS observatory provides coverage over the tropical oceans between approximately 38° N and 38° S latitude with an average revisit time of seven hours.

CYGNSS CDR Version 1.0 Datasets Release

2020-05-22

The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of the CYGNSS Climate Data Record (CDR) Version 1.0 dataset. The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), launched on 15 December 2016, is a NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder Mission that was designed with the purpose to collect the first frequent space-based measurements of surface wind speeds in the inner core of tropical cyclones.

Animation: Ocean surface wind speed animation of the CYGNSS Level 3 Climate Data Record Version 1.0

Animation of the CYGNSS Level 3 Climate Data Record Version 1.0 dataset from 2017 to 2020. This dataset contains the Version 1.0 CYGNSS Level 3 Climate Data Record which provides the average wind speed and mean square slope (MSS) on a 0.2x0.2 degree latitude by longitude equirectangular grid obtained from the Delay Doppler Mapping Instrument aboard the CYGNSS satellite constellation.
