Virtual NDRC Webinar Series
On May 15, 2019 the NASA Direct Readout Conference (NDRC) Organizing Committee held the second in a series of webinars to facilitate communications among, and provide updates to, the Real-time (RT) and Near Real-time (NRT) remote sensing user communities. Technology updates presented at the second webinar included NASA VIIRS Level-1 Software/Algorithm; Processing of Suomi-NPP VIIRS Data for Near Real-time Applications: Observations on VFIRE375 Active Fire Products; and NASA Black Marble.
Post-webinar survey (less than 3 minutes to complete). We value your feedback as we evaluate future software technologies and algorithms, and prioritize resources accordingly to meet the needs of the global user community.
Background
The Ninth International NASA Direct Readout Conference (NDRC-9) held in Valladolid, Spain in June 2016 provided a venue for awareness and exchange of remote sensing science research and corresponding RT/NRT applications using Direct Readout and other low latency Earth observation capabilities. A key outcome of the conference was the need to facilitate forums for ongoing communications among RT/NRT data practitioners, organizations that enable decision support system operations, and the end user community.
Webinar Series Details
The NDRC webinar series provides a venue for awareness and exchange of remote sensing science research and corresponding RT/NRT applications using Direct Readout and other low latency Earth observation capabilities. The series focuses on NDRC themes, topics and priorities, including updates on relevant science, algorithms, technologies, applications and systems. The frequency and topics of webinars in this series will be based on input articulated by interested participants. Presentations, action items, and relevant meeting notes are published on the NASA DRL Web Portal.
