Why does DoD care about aerosol particles?
•
Impacts on the atmospheric radiative budget(direct, semi- direct, indirect)
•
Impacts on EO systems, slant- range vis., lock-on range
•
Impacts on satellite retrievals, intelligence gathering
•
Impacts on visibility, operations and equipment
Mostly concerned with direct effects (vis and IR) and mechanical effects

Widely varying customer base
• CENTCOM: dust forecasting in Iraq and Afghanistan • TAWS: ingests extinction coefficients• NAVO and EUMETSAT: dust screening of SST retrievals
Issue: removal of NAAPS output fields from GODAE server at FNMOC request
Impact: Severely limits our ability to collaborate with national labs and academia
• NDWC: fleet synthetic training• NRO, NGA: scene correction, situational awareness• NPOESS: algorithm development

Product Distribution Issue: One size fits none
Operational Centers want all products, domains, etc. all in one place. Leads to deep layering of products.
More than 2 or 3 mouse-clicks unacceptable; slow response.Center web sites slow to adapt to new products or respond to new
requests.

Smaller, locally owned, agile web sites are optimal. E.g. 28th OWS. They own their plotting and web shop.
Sample NRL site: one click per product. Sits on top of Center sites.
