Earth Observing System EOS: The centerpiece of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. • Composed of • science component • data system component supporting a coordinated series of polar-orbiting and low inclination satellites • Aim: long-term global observations of the land surface, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere, and oceans. • Enables improved understanding of the Earth as an integrated system

EOS Data and Information System EOSDIS: supports the operation and data collection and transfer • operates the satellites and instruments • captures satellite data • generates useful Earth science data products • makes the data products available to users throughout the world. • Two major parts of EOSDIS • Mission System • • commands and controls EOS spacecraft and instruments, monitors their health and safety, and performs mission planning and scheduling, initial data capture, and initial data processing. Science System • generates higher level data products suitable for analysis by NASA principal investigators and the general scientific community.

Network Uses • Science Production (EMSnet) – – • Instrument Support Terminals – – – • Terra: 24 QA sites -- 300 GB / day (1999) DAAC Outflow to the Internet • • • Near real-time instrument monitoring (~T 1) Connect to EOC at GSFC AM-1 (Terra) (12/99): 5 instruments -- 17 ISTs (3 EBnet, 14 ESSnet) QA Flows to Instrument Team SCFs – • Level 0 data to the DAACs Inter-DAAC Production Flows To support ALL users: EOS investigators, K-12, etc. 6 DAACs: ~ 1 TB / day Basic User Service • Assure Adequate Internet connectivity to ESDIS funded investigators
