Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) //
The Comprehensive Large
Array-data
Stewardship System (CLASS) is an electronic library of NOAA
environmental data. This web site provides capabilities for finding and obtaining those
data.
CLASS
is NOAA's premiere on-line facility for the distribution of NOAA and US Department of
Defense
(DoD)
Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) data, NOAA's Geostationary
Operational
Environmental Satellite (GOES) data, and derived data.
NOAA Open Data Dissemination (NODD) //
Nodd- NOAA generates tens of
terabytes
of data a day from satellites, radars, ships, weather
models, and other sources. While these data are available to the public, it can be
difficult to
download and work with such large data volumes. NOAA’s vast wealth of data therefore
represents
a substantial untapped economic opportunity. The NOAA Open Data Dissemination (NODD)
Program
provides public access to NOAA's open data on commercial cloud platforms through
public-private
partnerships.
Direct Services Branch (DSB) //
Direct read out: The Direct
Services
Branch (DSB) is responsible for keeping NOAA's broadcast
services running smoothly, and is the main way people can interact with NOAA's satellite
transmissions. DSB leads the Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) system,
as well
as GOES and Argos Data Collection Systems (DCS).
