Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG) Management Office – Cycle 2 ICESAT-2 Contract

The SNWG Management Office is in the process of formalizing a technology transfer agreement with the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) team to provide a suite of products approved for funding by the White House Office of Management & Budget (OMB) as part of the SNWG-2018 cycle (Cycle 2). The approved new product suite will include updates to 4 existing products to reduce their latency allowing them to become “Rapid Data Products,” as well as to develop a new algorithm for Lake Ice Freeboard. The new Rapid Data Products will include Atmospheric Profiles (ATL09), Along Track Sea Ice (ATL07/10), Vegetation and Canopy Height (ATL08), and Inland Water (ATL13). The SNWG Management Office will approve the scope, cost, and schedule, including deliverables tied to milestone reviews, as well as the calibration and validation plan for the new product, and coordination / standardization of product trainings through the office’s planned Stakeholder Engagement Program (SEP) currently in formulation.
