1 NOAA is dedicated to serving society by providing timely access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources to promote, protect, and enhance the Nation s economy, security, environment, and quality of life.
2 NOAA Organizational Change, Priorities and Challenges
3 National Space Policy On June 28th the White House released a new National Space Policy for the United States of America: Emphasize on expanding international cooperation, data sharing, and improving space-based Earth and Solar observation capabilities Transition mature research and development to operations Use international partnerships to help sustain and enhance observations from space Be responsible for the requirements, funding, acquisition, and operation of civil operational environmental satellites for: weather forecasting climate monitoring ocean and coastal observations space weather forecasting Reinforces Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) decision 3

5 Goal Objective Accountable for Results Climate Adaptation & Mitigation Weather-Ready Nation Healthy Oceans Resilient Coastal Communities & Economies Improved scientific understanding Assessments indentify impacts, inform decisions Services support mitigation, adaptation choices A more climate-literate public Reduced loss of life, property, disruption Improved freshwater management Transportation efficiency, safety Healthy people, communities Productive, efficient economy Improved understanding ecosystems Recovered, sustained species Healthy habitats sustain resources, communities Sustainable fisheries, safe seafood Resilient coastal communities Ocean and coastal planning, management Safe, sound, efficient marine transportation Improved coastal water quality Safe, sound, Arctic access, management Climate Service Climate Service Climate Service Climate Service Weather Service Weather Service Weather Service Weather Service Weather Service Marine Fisheries Marine Fisheries Marine Fisheries Marine Fisheries Ocean Service Ocean Service Ocean Service Ocean Service Ocean Service 5
6 NOAA Strategic Priorities Enhance NOAA s climate services; support establishment of a National Climate Service Support Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning Ensure sustainability of marine fisheries Sustain satellite-based Earth observations Strengthen Arctic science and service.
7 Reorganization Impacts NESDIS Cross-Cutting (as before) With move of Data Centers to Climate Service NESDIS may become NESS Climate Service contingent on congress approval (political dimension) Budget sensitivities (Observing Systems is half NOAA budget; Satellites 30% ) More strongly driven by documented operational line office requirements OAR Cross-Cutting (as before) Science & Technology Enterprise Research Across NOAA Cooperative Institutes Stronger strategic NOAA/NASA partnership and interagency leveraging Joint Agency Satellite Acquisition Division JASD (R2O) NOAA/NASA/NIST Inter-agency Calibration Working Group (NCC)
8 Budget Challenges Issue: Satellite Acquisition and Services: Satellite services support requirements for satellite-based products and services including, accurate observation and monitoring of the atmosphere, oceans, land and space. The FY 2011 Continuing Resolution (CR) has curtailed satellite operations funding, eliminated new program starts, impacted planned continuity schedules, and have required some re-phasing of program plans to achieve satellite continuity. Impacted programs are: Product processing and distribution, climate sensors, Jason-3 and follow-on, DSCOVR, and COSMIC-2, JPSS transition. Discretionary programs Impacts disproportionately (NOAA& NASA) Greater competition for funding Satellite Programs are expensive and easy targets Political support mixed for Climate Sensors and missions, NOAA Climate Service and NOAA re-organization Greater Reliance on International Partnership and Exchange (for example: ) Ocean Color Scatterometry Hyperspectral Sounding (GOES T&U) Scatterometry (Lead for Scatterometry NOAA NASA) JPSS (Eumetsat, JAXA)

12 Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) White House decision to restructure the NPOESS program divides responsibilities: NOAA/NASA acquisition partnership in the afternoon (PM) orbit : JPSS Department of Defense (DOD) acquisition in the early morning orbit: DWSS NOAA will continue to rely on Metop in the mid-morning orbit NOAA and DOD will share the ground system network Instruments in the PM orbit: VIIRS, CrIS, ATMS, OMPS, and CERES/ERBS remain NOAA in discussion with JAXA to obtain AMSR sensor data from JAXA satellite to replace MIS for microwave imaging/sounding Accommodations for SARSAT, ADCS, and climate sensors (TSIS) Operational use of NPP data with a Fall 2011 launch readiness date JPSS-1, and -2 launch readiness dates are 2015 and 2018, respectively 12
13 International Collaborations
14 EUMETSAT Satellite backup, instrument exchange, data exchange Mutually dependent Initial Joint Polar System (IJPS) operational following EUMETSAT Metop-A launch in 2006 Two polar-orbiting satellite systems in complementary morning and afternoon orbits (Implemented in 2007) Exchange of key instruments such that observations are intercomparable Sharing of global weather, climate, and ocean data underpins NOAA s core observing capability Joint Polar System (JPS) negotiations underway to extend cooperation for next generation polar-orbiting satellites (beyond 2020) Space collision/conjunction tracking and services NOAA arranged for conjunction assessment support to EUMETSAT in June 2010 US Strategic Command providing support for EUMETSAT MetOp and Meteosat Approximately one conjunction every ten days 14
15 France France has Europe s premiere national space program French Space Agency (CNES) fruitful cooperative relationship with NOAA, both bilaterally and in multilateral fora since 1970s Argos Data Collection System: initiated between NOAA and CNES in 1974; collects data on atmospheric pressure, sea temperature, ocean current velocity, animal migration patterns, and river water levels Cospas-Sarsat Search and Rescue: an international satellite-aided search and rescue system; the governing parties of the system are the U.S./NOAA, France/CNES, Russia, and Canada. NOAA provides space on its polar-orbiting satellites for the French processor and Canadian receiver 15
16 Other European Cooperation Successful cooperation (with EUMETSAT, France/CNES and NASA) on Jason-2 mission providing for sea surface height measurements (Implemented 2008), with Jason-3 launch planned in 2013 Sea level rise and climate change Ocean circulation and modeling Forecasting El Niño/La Niña Hurricane intensity prediction European Space Agency potential partnership with ESA regarding the Sentinel series of operational Earth observation satellites Norway high latitude ground station support for polar missions, i.e. POES, JPSS, COSMIC, GCOM European Union emerging role in space letter of intent signed with EU Joint Research Center regarding research collaboration in many areas within NOAA purview Exploring possible cooperation with UK and Italian space agencies 16
17 Japan Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) 2005: continued access to synthetic aperture radar data for operational ice forecasts and research Global Change Observation Mission Water (GCOM-W1): JAXA to provide data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer -2 which fulfills unmet Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) requirement; NOAA to provide ground segment support; Ground Processing for SGLI GCOM-C1: NOAA seeking access to ocean color data JPSS: Plans for a Ground Receptor at Hatoyama, Japan GCOM-W2: potential partnership with JAXA and JPL to fly a NOAA Dual Frequency Scatterometer (DFS); possible CEOS Constellation effort Dual Frequency Precipitation Radar (GPM, NASA) Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) Backup agreement for geostationary weather satellite coverage Scientific exchanges on future geostationary weather satellite series GOES-R and Himiwari; ABI and AHI imagers; Science Algorithms and Cal/Val 17
18 India: Oceansat-2 In November 2009, NOAA, NASA, and ISRO signed a Letter of Intent to explore collaboration on Oceansat-2 activities Currently drafting separate, but parallel, NOAA-ISRO and NASA-ISRO Implementing Arrangements There is an immediacy in acquiring Oceansat-2 scatterometer data because of QuikSCAT s operational end of life in November 2009 QuikSCAT was the primary source of wind observations providing warning criteria of waves and life-threatening marine conditions Oceansat-2 Ocean Color NOAA & MoES/IMD INSAT-3D data and science applications; data exchange 18
19 Taiwan: COSMIC COSMIC-1 (NSF, UCAR, NOAA, JPL effort) provides real-time global atmospheric temperature and moisture data through a GPS radiooccultation measurement technique GPSRO data is valuable in improving the NWS forecast accuracy NOAA will collaborate with the Taiwan National Space Organization (NSPO) for the launch of 12 COSMIC-2 satellites to provide replenishment and operational upgrade of the current COSMIC-1 constellation NOAA to provide sensors through JPL, launch services, ground station support and sensor processing support Taiwan to provide spacecraft and integrate sensors 19
