Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (Goes) Data Collection System. Task I. Definition of Data Collection System

摘要

The geostationary operational environmental satellite (GOES) system is designed to provide emergency warning and environmental data collection and dissemination services. Under the control of a control and data acquisition ground terminal, the GOES will relay interrogation signals to a variety of remote sensor terminals, including balloons, buoys, river gauges, seismic sensors, and remote weather stations. These sensor terminals will automatically respond with a data message which will be relayed by GOES back to the CDA. Computing facilities associated with the CDA will perform such analysis and tabulation as required, then disseminate the data to users, either through GOES or by other communications links. The report is organized in parallel with the contract statement of work, which divides Task 1 into 7 work elements: Interface survey, remote terminal coordination, interference evaluation, GOES parameter review, interrogation system design, data processing analysis, and dissemination system analysis. The interdependence of the work element topics makes it inevitable that there is some overlap between the sections of the report. (Author)
