NPOESS program
Centrals' programs (NAVOCEANO)

• CNMOC approves NDE for NAVOCEANO and FNMOC
• NAVOCEANOs service request/ response
  incorporates more than IDPS and NDE environmnetal
  products, e.g. ocean forecasts, bathymetry,
  acoustics, etc.
• The Naval Research Lab RD is the primary
  developer and development is not under same line
  office as NAVOCEANO. Many Navy NDE developments
  are being worked by non-COPC entities.

NPP Connectivity Timeline

• 9/06-20/2007 Navys NPOESS Readiness Budget and
  design of NPP connectivity to both Navy Centrals
  modified due to NPP launch delay.
• 12/07/2007 FNMOC and NAVOCEANO generated
  requirements for Pre-IDP NPP data receipt.
• 1/10/2008 All four Centrals, PMW-120, CNMOC, and
  the IPO meet at NCF regarding pre-IDP NPP receipt
  solution for Navy.
• 3/14/2008 PMW-120 begins dialog with ATT on
  comms requirements.
• Mid-March 2008 CNMOC delivers Navy requirements
  for NPP data to NESDIS and AFWA.
• 6/27/2008 Initiated telecons with AFWA regarding
  NPP connectivity to Navy Centrals. Initiated
  debate on adding/widening DATMS-U VS using ATT.
• 8/14/2008 Navy Centrals propose a Navy
  blackbox within the NPOESS firewall at AFWA to
  reduce C/A problem. The IPO proposes 2
  Navy-funded servers within a Navy firewall at
  AFWA and obtaining the AFWA IDP data from an
  unused SDS port. This is for the ATT concept.

Ocean CalVal for NPP

• IPO has asked NRL SSC to take lead in Ocean
  calval
• Initial meeting July 08 with following
  participants
• Bob Arnone (lead) and Paul Lyon (NRLSSC)
• Alexander Ignatov (NOAA/NESDIS)
• Peter Minnett and Bob Evans (RSMAS)
• Doug May and Bob Coulter (NAVO)
• First priority is to get a proxy VIIRS datastream
  
• Working with Joe Zajic (NOAA/IPO) on software
  that will ingest MODIS data and convert it to
  proxy VIIRS data in real-time
• the data will be formatted according to the IDPS
  SDR output specification in HDF5 and will have
  the MODIS channels spectrally transformed to
  resemble VIIRS channels
• Allows those users getting MODIS data already to
  run conversion software rather than acquiring
  another datastream
• Will be used for both SST and ocean color NDE

NPOESS Readiness POM-08 Submission

• NAVOCEANO, FNMOC, NRL, and SPAWAR have secured
  approved NPOESS Readiness funding from the
  Oceanographer of the Navy for FY08-15..
• NAVO funded for Operations including budget for
  computer hw migration, sw migration, maintenance,
  facility space renovation, and comms lines to
  transition from POES to NPOESS data streams
• Integrate NPOESS data into legacy exploitation
  capabilities
• Implement new sw transitions developed by NRL
• NRL funded for development of Upper Ocean Layer
  predictions
• Optical Properties
• Mesoscale modeling predictions
• Ice nowcast/forecast

NAVOCEANO NDE

• Initiatives
• Multiple satellite SST assimilation into
  operational models
• NAVO operational with AVHRR, GOES and AMSR-E
• NRL/NAVO evaluating and implementing AATSR, MSG,
  MODIS
• Altimeter assimilation into operational models
• NAVO operational with GFO, Jason, and ENVISAT
• Descoping of NPOESS ALT led to NRL evaluation of
  OSTM (Jason-2), HY-2, Altika and Sentinel 3. NRL
  also leading effort for next Navy altimeter
  satellite.
• Ocean color properties and assessment
  assimilation into operational models
• NAVO operational with automated generation and
  validation of operational optical properties from
  Seawifs and MODIS
• Diver visibility, laser penetration depth, laser
  performance, asset vulnerability depth
• NRL evaluating MERIS, OCM and VIIRS proxy data
  set derived from MODIS data

9
NAVOCEANO NDE

• Initiatives
• Net Heat Flux for ocean circulation models
• NRL investigating improvements to surface flux
  assimilation into ocean models by comparing
  atmospheric model flux estimates to satellite
  derived observations
• NRL will derive surface fluxes from existing and
  future satellite sensors (including NPOESS)
• Specific humidity, air temperature, surface wind,
  SST
• Sea Ice Characteristics Temperature for
  improved ice model
• NAVO operational with NCOM/CICE/NCODA
• NRL validating assimilation of ice concentration
  into HYCOM/CICE/NCODA
• NRL developing assimilation techniques for ice
  age and ice temperature into HYCOM/CICE/NCODA
• NRL will evaluate assimilation of NPOESS ice
  temp, ice concentration and ice age into
  HYCOM/CICE/NCODA when available

JCSDA

• JCSDA initiatives coordinated with NRL and
  approved by CNMOC
• Must be new initiatives not worked by NRL
• Must be new funding
• Must support Navy Mission
