20OESS Status of Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Products and Data Access

For more than 10 years, the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) mission has provided high-quality data products for environment forecasting and monitoring through the current Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP), NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 satellites, which launched on October 18, 2011, November 18, 2017, and November 10, 2022, respectively. The sensor data record (SDR) and the derived environmental data record (EDR) products from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS), and the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) offer unprecedented opportunities for weather forecasting and earth observing. This paper will provide an update of the latest status of the JPSS products with highlights of the NOAA-21 data products post launch validation results. The schedule and status of JPSS/LEO algorithms migrating to the NESDIS Common Cloud Framework (NCCF), and the further enhancement of JPSS/LEO data access will be presented. The planned science improvements and enhancements for JPSS/LEO products through user engagement and via the newly established NESDIS Product Portfolio Management (PPM) process, will also be briefed.
