Session ID#: 16803

Session Description:
Building on the success of Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP), the Joint Polar Satellite System-1 (JPSS-1) is being prepared for a January 2017 launch.  The suite of five state-of-the-art instruments forming the JPSS baseline are: advanced microwave and infrared sounders which are critical for weather forecasting; a leading-edge visible and infrared imager needed for environmental assessments such as snow/ice cover, droughts, volcanic ash, forest fires and surface temperature; ozone sensor primarily used for global monitoring of ozone and input to weather and climate models; and an earth radiation budget sensor for monitoring the Earth's energy budget.  The JPSS program provides accurate and timely data to weather forecasters, climate researchers, and global decision-makers to successfully complete their jobs.

We seek abstracts that emphasize improved environmental applications and societal benefits of JPSS and other polar-orbiting satellites.
