Abstract

The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) atmospheric composition products are derived from an array of instruments aboard the JPSS satellites, and provide continued support for atmospheric concentrations of both greenhouse gases and aerosols in the context of air quality, furthering scientific understanding, improving environmental monitoring, and enhancing operational applications. This paper presents an outline of the JPSS atmospheric composition products that are operationally available from the JPSS Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) suite of instruments. Experimental products currently under consideration and exploration, continuity and product upgrades for NOAA-20, future plans on collaborations, special data needs by user communities, and upgrades to the data products in support of near real time applications are included in this paper. Continued efforts towards reprocessing to generate mission-long high quality science products, adapting to enterprise algorithms, and providing calibrated radiances and geophysical data products via direct broadcast networks are discussed for user awareness and international collaborations.
