Satellite Training PlansCOMET - support distance learning efforts in satellite meteorology with materials via the Web.

VISIT - Virtual Institute for Satellite Integration Training composed of elements from CIRA and CIMSS with assistance from NOAA staff in NESDIS and NWS

COMET and VISIT cooperate to develop an extensive set of satellite training and education materials via Web and through live/recorded teletraining sessions

NOAA Satellite Training PlansChanges from 2004

1) Expand GOES-R+ Section to provide full team at COMET

2) New section on COMET/VISIT Collaboration

3) Add International Sections to NPOESS and GOES and Letter of Agreement between NOAA/EUMETSAT/UCAR

4) Expand references to NOAA Goal Teams – Ecosystems, Climate, Transportation

5) New Section for GEOSS6) New section for Education and

Outreach7) Refer to use of NOAA LMS8) Option for more courses9) NOAA education office may be involved

What is GEOSS?Global Earth Observing System of

Systems

GEOSS is a distributed system of systems built on current international cooperation efforts among existing Earth observing and processing systems

GEOSS is/ Comprehensive—observations and products from all

components/ Coordinated—leverages contributing members resources/ Sustained—by will and capacity of all members

GEOSS enables the collection and distribution of accurate, reliable Earth Observation data, information, products, and services to both suppliers and consumers worldwide—an end-to-end process

NOAA’s Role in GEOSS

NOAA: Where Science Creates Value

Earth observations… / Are at the core of NOAA’s mission/ Support virtually every activity we perform

NOAA has…/ Observing capabilities being advanced through scientific

and technological research/ A broad scope of domestic and international partnerships/ Commitment to transform research into useful, operational

information
