Abstract: | |
The Satellite Data Services Division (SDSD) is a component of the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). All data produced by SDSD are geographically referenced.
SDSD houses information that was acquired by a series of spacecraft satellite sensors beginning in 1960. This division archives and quality controls satellite data for retrospective use. Over 8 million individual images, 50,000 computer compatible tapes, and 800 mass storage tapes from 30 satellites are now archived. Satellite data files contain imagery from the following satellites: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Series Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES), Television and Infrared Operational Satellite (TIROS), Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), DoD's Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), and Sea Satellite (SEASAT), Digital data on magnetic tapes can be used quantitatively in climate research. Digital data from the latest satellites are the fastest growing section of the division's holdings. Products that are derived from satellite data, such as sea and air temperature, ozone, cloud motion vectors, sea surface height, surface winds, are also available to users.
