Abstract
|
The NOAA GOES Data Collection System (DCS) has developed into an essential telecommunications provider in the U.S. Observation systems used for emergency warning and resource management all across the U.S. and the neighboring areas (Latin America, Caribbean, Pacific, etc) use GOES to relay critical data in support of flood monitoring, water resource management, wildland fires support, tsunami alerts and so much more send their critical data through the GOES system. Twenty seven thousand active platforms deliver an estimated ten million observations per day into the global observing system. This presentation will introduce some of those users, and will describe the tools and policies that have made the growth of the system possible in the twenty first century.
