JPSS Polar Satellite—Gap Mitigation—
Request for Public Comment
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Department of Commerce (DOC).
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
NOAA has long been
concerned about the potential for a gap
in polar satellite coverage in the
afternoon orbit. In addition to reports
from Inspector General and the
Government Accountability Office on
this topic, NOAA has also convened an
Independent Review Team (IRT) to
review the progress of our satellite
programs and identify the challenges
ahead. These reports have all
substantiated NOAA’s concerns
regarding the gap.
NOAA is taking positive steps to
mitigate the negative impacts to
NOAA’s numerical weather forecasts
that could be introduced by a lack of
polar satellite data. To this end, NOAA
has commissioned an investigative
study to broadly explore all available
options, such as substitute satellite
observations, alternative non-satellite
data, weather modeling, and data
assimilation improvements. NOAA is
convening teams of internal and
external experts, industry leaders,
foreign partners, and academia to study
each of these areas.
As a part of this effort, and to ensure
we examine all potential solutions,
NOAA is also seeking comments,
suggestions, and innovative ideas from
the public on how to preserve the
quality and timeliness of NOAA’s
numerical weather forecasts should we
experience a loss of polar satellite
environmental data. Through this web
portal, the public can submit ideas,
review submissions from other parties,
and make comments and collaborate on
ideas.
DATES: Comments must be received by
5:00 p.m. on December 19, 2012.
