The NESDIS Common Cloud Framework (NCCF): Advancing Open Data Dissemination - Updates on the NOAA/NESDIS/NCCF Dissemination and User Access Services

This presentation will provide a comprehensive update on recent developments within NOAA's NESDIS Common Cloud Framework (NCCF) Dissemination and User Access services, focusing on the advancement of the Wildland Fire and the Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) data portals. Using scalable, distributed, cloud-based technologies, NOAA/NESDIS is embracing FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and DEIA data principles to build a data access system. By leveraging the newest generation of Application Programming Interface (API) specifications from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) as well as distributed, cloud-optimized data formats such as Zarr and Cloud Optimized Geotiff (COG), we are building reusable data access services to improve the accessibility and utility of critical satellite data for diverse user communities. We’ll also take a look at the future vision for these services, including continued integration with NCCF archive and metadata management systems, additional migrations of existing on-prem data and services, as well as expansion of the data available via standardized formats and interfaces as we continue to move towards a cohesive set of open data dissemination and user access services for NESDIS data.
