A11S:
Earth System Change from Space: From EOS to Suomi NPP I

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 16152

Session Description:
The Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite provides the measurement capability to extend many high-quality time series data records that were initiated by earlier NASA Earth Observing System’s (EOS) satellites. Through the development of continuity-specific algorithms that account for instrument differences, S-NPP observations will allow scientists to extend a continuous record of satellite data of sufficient quality to detect and quantify global environmental changes.

 

We are requesting abstracts that address EOS to S-NPP product continuity for physical, chemical, biological, or biogeochemical properties of the Earth system, including:

 

  • Progress on algorithm development for data product continuity and results;
  • Assessments of Earth System change in atmospheric, land, cryospheric, and ocean properties;
  • Fundamental questions, challenges and assessments in the creation of well-calibrated and stable multiyear and multi-satellite Level-1 time series;
  • Development of Level-3 spatial/temporal aggregations required for Earth System Change Model assessment.
