Preferred term

NASA/MSFC/GHRC/LANCE  

Definition

  • NASA’s Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for Earth Observing Systems (LANCE) leverages existing satellite data processing systems in order to provide data and imagery available from select EOS instruments (currently AIRS, AMSR2, MLS, MODIS and OMI) within 3 hours of satellite overpass. These data meet the timely needs of applications such as numerical weather and climate prediction, forecasting and monitoring natural hazards, agriculture, air quality and disaster relief. The LANCE element for Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) is co-located with the AMSR Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) at the Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC in Huntsville, Alabama. NRT AMSR2 products are generated within three hours of observation, using preliminary algorithms provided by the NASA-funded US AMSR2 Science Team, with JAXA NRT L1R (resampled brightness temperatures) as input. While the NRT data stream from JAXA has a much lower latency than the corresponding standard data, it occasionally experiences some data loss. NASA standard products, to be generated using validated versions of these algorithms, will be available from NSIDC DAAC beginning in 2016. (en)
