Purpose

Update the Earth science and applications communities on Suomi NPP including:

o   Instrument performanceo   Data Characteristicso   Access to data and data products from NOAA and

NASA

Review current applications from all S-NPP instruments and present new ideas.

Provide an opportunity for community feedback to NASA and NOAA on data products, data access and other user needs. (Important for lessons learned as input to the next Decadal Survey!)

Identify current barriers to integration of Suomi NPP data into existing and developing applications.

Suomi NPP Launched on Oct. 28, 2011!
