Notice:

ATMS, CrIS, VIIRS and OMPS are all powered on and producing science data, Friday, August 12. Cal/Val teams and PALs are assessing products, and are all headed in a positive direction. CERES is assessing some issues that may affect Cal/Val. This science data will only be available through GRAVITE, CLASS and NDE I&T through which the Cal/Val teams and PALs can perform their full analysis....

The S-NPP High Rate Data downlink was activated on August 11, 2022, at 14:35 UTC. Direct Broadcast (DB) users are advised not to use the S-NPP science data for operations until OSPO sends the ESPC Notification stating that the data product has been approved for operational use. S-NPP product subscriptions on PDA OPS remain disabled. Product subscriptions on PDA OPS will be enabled as each product is cleared for operations by the Cal/Val teams and Product Area Leads (PAL) and approved by OSPO's Satellite Products and Services Division (SPSD). OSPO will issue an ESPC Notification prior to distributing the product on PDA OPS. At that point CSPP LEO users can use the equivalent CSPP product for operations.

Full product recovery is expected to require approximately 2-3 weeks. PDA OPS subscriptions for all S-NPP products have been disabled. S-NPP product subscriptions will be activated for distribution through PDA OPS after each product is cleared for operations by the product recovery team. Users who have any questions may directly contact OSPO’s JPSS Data Operations Manager at james.mcnitt@noaa.gov and include the ESPC Help Desk on the cc line (ESPCOperations@noaa.gov).
