21OESS NOAA-21 Products Update and Enterprise Product Operations in NESDIS Common Cloud Framework

NOAA-21 is the primary afternoon satellite in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) constellation. With Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) products reaching validated maturity in September, 2024, all of the NOAA-21 products will be at full validated maturity in Fall 2024. Most of these products are now available to operations via the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Common Cloud Framework (NCCF). This presentation will review the process and timing of bringing NOAA-21 products into NCCF operations, and will provide an update of the timeline for the remaining products’ availability in the NCCF.

NESDIS has continued its enterprise algorithm journey into the NCCF. More products have moved to utilizing enterprise algorithms. This presentation will provide operational status of enterprise products in NCCF, and discuss the benefits brought in by enterprise algorithms, as well as challenges posed upon NCCF operations and maintenance, and possible improvements on the implementation of enterprise algorithms in the near future.
