Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking proposals for the Commercial Data Program (CDP) Microwave Sounder (MWS) Data Buy. The primary focus of this acquisition is on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) observations suitable for operational data assimilation, short-term forecasting, and environmental hazard assessment. The Government requires L1B/L1C observations from on-orbit satellites, with derived products serving as additional components.
Key aspects of the proposal include:
• Providing Microwave Sounder (MWS) L1B/L1C observation data from one or more on-orbit satellites
• Meeting the threshold requirements documented in Table 3
• Optional hyperspectral capability
• Data delivery period of 6-12 months
• Compatibility with NOAA's operational processing and assimilation systems
