2. SNPP-VIIRS SIPS PROCUREMENT IN THIS PROPOSAL THE SPACE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CENTER (SSEC) AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON OFFERS TO BECOME THE ATMOSPHERE SCIENCE INVESTIGATOR-LED PROCESSING SYSTEM (SIPS) FOR EARTH SYSTEM DATA RECORDS FROM THE NASA SUOMI NATIONAL POLAR-ORBITING PARTNERSHIP (SNPP). THE ATMOSPHERE SIPS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROCESSING AND REPROCESSING SNPP VIIRS AEROSOL AND CLOUD PRODUCTS, PROVIDING ASSESSMENT CAPABILITIES FOR THESE PRODUCTS, ASSISTING THE SNPP SCIENCE TEAM IN DEVELOPING AND TESTING THE PRODUCT GENERATION SOFTWARE, AND DELIVERING THE PRODUCTS, SOFTWARE, BROWSE IMAGERY, AND ASSOCIATED ANCILLARY DATA AND METADATA TO NASA FOR DISTRIBUTION. THIS PROJECT WILL LEVERAGE AND EXTEND THE RESOURCES AND CAPABILITIES OF THE NASA SNPP ATMOSPHERE PRODUCT EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS TOOL ELEMENTS (PEATE) PROJECT IN OPERATION AT SSEC SINCE 2007. THE ATMOSPHERE PEATE HAS PROVIDED VITAL SUPPORT TO THE SNPP SCIENCE TEAM VIIRS AEROSOL AND CLOUD INVESTIGATORS, AND TRANSITIONING TO AN ATMOSPHERE SIPS AT SSEC WILL PROVIDE THE NEW SNPP SCIENCE TEAM WITH THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR DEVELOPING, EVALUATING, AND PRODUCING HIGH QUALITY CALIBRATED SENSOR OBSERVATIONS AND DERIVED AEROSOL AND CLOUD PRODUCTS FOR NASA AND THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY. SSEC OFFERS A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE EXPERTISE IN ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCT CALIBRATION/VALIDATION COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE EXPERTISE IN DATA PROCESSING, INGEST, STORAGE, AND DISTRIBUTION AND OPERATIONAL EXPERTISE IN REAL-TIME SATELLITE PRODUCT GENERATION THAT WILL, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SNPP SCIENCE TEAM, ENABLE THE RAPID AND EFFICIENT CREATION OF HIGH QUALITY NASA CLIMATE DATA RECORDS FROM SNPP. THE ATMOSPHERE PEATE HAS DEVELOPED EXTENSIVE CAPABILITIES THAT WILL ASSIST THE ATMOSPHERE SIPS, INCLUDING COMPUTE AND STORAGE FACILITIES ENABLING RAPID REPROCESSING OF THE SNPP MISSION RECORD, SATELLITE COLLOCATION ALGORITHMS ENABLING RAPID IDENTIFICATION OF MATCHUP DATASETS, FLEXIBLE AND EFFICIENT ALGORITHMS AND SOFTWARE FOR CREATING LEVEL 3 GRIDDED PRODUCTS, A VERSATILE PUBLIC DATA SEARCH, DISCOVERY, AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, A COMMON DATA FORMAT TO FACILITATE CONSISTENT SCIENCE ALGORITHMS FOR MULTIPLE SENSORS, AN ALGORITHM TEST AND DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT MATCHING THE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT. THE ATMOSPHERE PEATE HAS ALSO USED ITS RESOURCES TO ASSIST WITH SEVERAL EFFORTS RELATED TO THE SNPP MISSION, INCLUDING PROVIDING CRUCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE EARLY CHECKOUT AND EVALUATION OF THE CRIS SENSOR, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF THE FIRST VALID CRIS CALIBRATED RADIANCES, AND THE FIRST REPROCESSING OF THE ENTIRE CRIS MISSION RECORD TO CREATE A CONSISTENT RADIANCE DATASET SUPPLYING PRODUCTS TO THE BROAD RESEARCH COMMUNITY INCLUDING NRL MONTEREY AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TO FACILITATE THE RAPID ADOPTION OF SNPP DATA INTO EXISTING OPERATIONAL FORECAST AND DECISION MAKING SYSTEMS ASSISTING THE MODIS SCIENCE TEAM WITH VERIFYING RESULTS FROM MODIS COLLECTION 6 ALGORITHMS TO ENSURE LONG-TERM CLIMATE DATA RECORD QUALITY AND CONTINUITY. THE ATMOSPHERE PEATE HAS DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE SCIENCE EXPERTISE, SOFTWARE AND REPROCESSING RESOURCES, PRODUCT EVALUATION WORKFLOWS, AND SUPPORTING DATASETS TO ASSIST THE NASA SNPP SCIENCE TEAM AND THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY, AND THIS RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO THE ABILITY OF SSEC TO SUCCESSFULLY CARRY OUT THE TASKS REQUIRED FOR THE NASA SNPP ATMOSPHERE SIPS.$11.3M
