Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP) for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites: Recent Updates and Future Plans

The Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP) for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites is a collection of freely available software for processing data from environmental satellite constellations including JPSS, Metop, POES, EOS, GCOM, and FY-3. CSPP LEO is funded by the NOAA JPSS program and has been available to the community since 2012. The software in CSPP LEO supports (a) decoding of CCSDS packets to create Level 0 data; (b) geolocation and calibration of sensor observations to create Level 1B data; (c) image processing and resampling to create high quality imagery; and (d) retrieval of atmosphere, land, and ocean parameters to create Level 2 products. CSPP LEO is primarily designed to support users who acquired satellite data via direct broadcast from the satellite, however it is also compatible global stored mission data formats. CSPP LEO currently supports processing of data from NOAA-21, NOAA-20, Suomi NPP, Metop-B, Metop-C, NOAA-18, NOAA-19, Aqua, Terra, GCOM-W1, FY-3D, and FY-3E. For the JPSS satellites, CSPP LEO supports processing of data from the ATMS, CrIS, OMPS, and VIIRS sensors. CSPP LEO software is used by NOAA NWS in the Pacific and Alaska regions to generate image products for weather forecasting; by EUMETSAT and many other agencies to provide low latency sounder data for WMO DBNet; and by SMHI and many other groups to detect wildfires (among many other applications). This presentation will highlight recent developments in the CSPP LEO software suite to add support for NOAA-21 ATMS, CrIS, OMPS, and VIIRS; new capabilities for imaging VIIRS geophysical products including land surface reflectance, NDVI, and EVI; new products derived from OMPS including total ozone and sulfur dioxide; and support image products from FY-3E MERSI-LL. The presentation will feature examples of applications for CSPP LEO products from users around the world. Plans for future CSPP LEO enhancements will be presented including support for JPSS-3 and JPSS-4.
