NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) N-ROSS/ERS-1 Environmental Data Development (NNEEDD) Activity

摘要

The document is one of a series of documents that defines NOAA's opportunity to increase oceanic observing services well beyond those presently provided. This opportunity has been designated as the NOAA N-ROSS/ERS-1 Environmental Data Development Activity and is accomplished by using satellite systems already under development by other agencies. Topics discussed in this report include the following: The Navy remote ocean sensing system (N-ROSS); The ESA remote-sensing satellite (ERS-1) system; NNEEDD products and services; NOAA interface roles with N-ROSS and ERS-1; Value of merged marine data sets; Value of global marine data and information.
