Submit your abstract for \u201cAdvancing Weather and Environmental Science Through NASA and NOAA Commercial Satellite Data Programs,\u201d a joint session hosted by NASA\u2019s Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) program, in partnership with the NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Commercial Data Program (CDP).<\/p>\n
The session is part of the 23rd Symposium on Operational Environmental Satellite Systems, which will take place at the 2027 American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting January\u00a010-14 in Denver, Colorado. It will examine the growing capabilities of commercial Earth observation providers that are creating new opportunities to advance weather research, operational forecasting, and environmental science applications.<\/p>\n
NASA\u2019s CSDA program and NESDIS\u2019s CDP collaborate to expand federal access to commercial satellite data and accelerate its use in both research and operational applications.<\/p>\n
The CSDA program supports the scientific community by evaluating and acquiring diverse commercial datasets, including optical, Synthetic Aperture Radar, Global Navigation Satellite System Radio Occultation and Reflectometry, methane, precipitation, and Digital Elevation\/Terrain Models for modeling, hazard monitoring, climate studies, and applied research.<\/p>\n
Similarly, the CDP operationalizes commercial space-based environmental data, with demonstrated impacts from assimilated observations in weather forecasting and space weather applications. It also conducts pilot projects and transitions the piloted data to operations.<\/p>\n
Together, the CSDA and CDP strengthen the nation\u2019s weather enterprise by enabling innovative research, closing observational gaps, and integrating commercial data into real-world forecasting and decision support applications.<\/p>\n
