The GES DISC (610.2) and the NASA Goddard Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Laboratory released a new Version 2 of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Earth System Data Record (ESDR). The data are based on Backscatter Ultraviolet (BUV) measurements from the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) Nadir Mapper (NM), flown on the NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite.
Two CrIS/VIIRS Collocated Datasets Released
10/30/2020
GES DISC, Code 610.2 – The Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) L1B development team at the University of Wisconsin, the Visible Infrared Image Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Atmosphere Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) at the University of Wisconsin, and the Jet Propulsion Lab Sounder SIPS jointly released two CrIS/VIIRS collocated datasets for the Sounder science community's research needs. These datasets are termed an IMG (imager collocation) product. The initial IMG products are only available for S-NPP (Suomi-National Polar-orbiting Partnership), but NOAA-20 (known prelaunch as the Joint Polar-orbiting Satellite System-1, JPSS-1) datasets will also be produced upon availability of the upstream VIIRS cloud mask. Additional information can be found here and here.
The GES DISC, Code 610.2, released Version 2 of the Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) Carbon Flux data sets. These 6 new datasets contain global estimates of various components of the carbon cycle, constrained by satellite observations, produced CMS-Flux carbon cycle data assimilation system. Version 2 of this dataset extends the record from 2010 through 2016.
AIRS/GISTEMP Study Receives News Release and Media Attention
04/17/2019
A recent study by Joel Susskind (610), Gavin Schmidt (611), Jae Lee (613), and Lena Iredell (610.2) confirming global warming trends was featured in a press release from the publisher and articles in publications such as Newsweek, U.S. News & World Reports, and The Washington Post.
Owen Kelley (610.2/GMU) and Alex Kekesi (606.4/GST) assisted The New York Times in creating a visualization story on Super Typhoon Mangkhut using GPM DPR data.
Note from the Director:
I would like to thank the Director’s Science Committee for putting on an amazingly successful event where scientists and engineers across Goddard shared their work and made new contacts. The interdisciplinary interactions were especially exciting and crossed all four science disciplines.
Best,
Colleen
