The\u00a0Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS)<\/a>\u00a0is an interactive computer system that integrates meteorological and hydrological data, enabling forecasters to prepare forecasts and issue warnings. The NWS will be the primary operational user of GOES-R data and will receive key data directly from the GOES-R\/AWIPS interface.<\/p>\n Real-time data will be available to authorized users via\u00a0<\/strong>Product Distribution and Access (PDA)<\/a>\u00a0which receives and stores real-time environmental satellite data and products.<\/p>\n Direct readout users may utilize JPSS Direct Broadcast (DB) data in varied ways. To serve this group, JPSS has established and maintains the DB receiver specifications for interested organizations. A biennial conference with DB as a major focus functions as a critical forum for this user group to meet and discuss Direct Broadcast issues. The current antenna network providing data to NOAA\u2019s National Center for Environmental Prediction and users worldwide includes sites in Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, and Wisconsin which cover all of North America. This network of reliably positioned antennas ensures the delivery of critical data to our NWS. One of the key features of DB is that real-time imagery and selected derived products are delivered much faster to forecasters, thereby accelerating their forecasting capabilities.<\/p>\n DB data is processed using free open source science software through the\u00a0Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP)<\/a>. Once processed through the CSPP, JPSS has no direct control on how Suomi NPP and JPSS data is used. CSPP enables the creation of Level 1B and higher level products and images in real time.\u00a0 CSPP also provides training in local product applications to DB users of both polar orbiting and geostationary satellite data.<\/p>\n JPSS data can also be accessed via the University of Alaska (UA) Geographic Information Network of Alaska (GINA)<\/a>. \u00a0GINA receives numerous geospatial data sets, many in real time.<\/p>\n JPSS data are accessible to public users worldwide through the\u00a0NOAA CLASS, the Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System<\/a> in near real time (3~6 hour delay from the raw data acquisition).\u00a0 CLASS is a web-based data archive and distribution system for NOAA\u2019s environmental data to scientists, researchers, and academics to review archived products (older than seven days).<\/p>\n Joint Polar Satellite System 1 (JPSS-1) Spacecraft High Rate Data (HRD) to Direct Broadcast Stations (DBS) Radio Frequency (RF) Interface Control Document (ICD)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
