Abstract:
Processing and deriving satellite cloud properties from operational geostationary satellites products is an important task for NASA Langley Cloud and Radiation Group. With the increase in temporal and spatial resolution of satellite imager sensors, additional computing resources are required. We look to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to augment our computing, storage, and data distribution requirements. This work will describe our current web of data flow, distributed processing systems, and our use of AWS to ingest, produce, and publish over 50 TB of satellite data that are fused and interconnected using varies technologies and protocols. In addition, we will discuss future directions with AWS and leverage this common computing environment to promote unification of real-time processing systems and visualization tools to access a large repository of data products.
