- Description
- PURPOSE: NESDIS/STAR requires renewal of Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) McIDAS Users' Group annual fee for software maintenance. SCOPE OR MISSION: The Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) is the science arm of the NOAA Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS), which acquires and manages the nation's operational Earth-observing satellites. STAR's mission is to accelerate the transfer of satellite observations of land, atmosphere, ocean, and climate from scientific research and development into routine operations, enabling NOAA to offer state-of-the-art data, products, and services to decision-makers. BACKGROUND: STAR requires renewal of McIDAS software and maintenance support. McIDAS (Man computer Interactive Data Access System) is a software package that is used with geophysical data, such as satellite and radar imagery, in-situ observational reports, and gridded numerical forecasts. Other functions include acquiring, displaying (static and time-lapse), analyzing, interpreting, and managing the data. Designed to handle large amounts of data in a convenient manner, the McIDAS packages are a vast resource of image-processing and applications programs and subroutines. Many scientific programs within STAR, and elsewhere in NOAA, currently use McIDAS on a daily bases for their scientific data analysis. It is a very capable and relatively economical system, and it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and man-hours to migrate to a different system, if one was even available which could do all that McIDAS can.
