Satellite Data Services

The Satellite Data Services group handles, archives, and distributes satellite data from the following disciplines:

• POES/MetOp SEM
• GOES SEM
• GOES SXI
• DMSP
• Satellite Anomalies

POES/MetOp SEM - Energetic particle measurements at polar-orbit altitude.

NOAA's Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES) carry a suite of instruments that measure the flux of energetic ions and electrons at the altitude of the satellite. This environment varies as a result of solar and geomagnetic activity. Beginning with the NOAA-15 satellite, an upgraded version of the Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2) has been flown.

GOES SEM - Energetic particle, X-ray, & magnetic field measurements at geosynchronous altitude.

GOES satellites carry onboard a Space Environment Monitor subsystem that measures X-rays, Energetic Particles and the Magnetic Field at the spacecraft.

GOES SXI - Solar X-ray Imager - First images now available!

DMSP -Space Weather data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program(DMSP) Spacecraft.

• DMSP- Sun Synchronous satellite system in 840 km polar orbit
• SSIES- Special Sensor Topside Ionosphere Plasma Sensor(F06-20)
• SSJ- Special Sensor Auroral Particle Spectrometer(F06-20)
• SSM- Special Sensor Magnetometer(F12-20)
