Provided extensive support to the greater Caribbean region with NexSat customized products and training – NRL received official letter of appreciation from Puerto Rico MIC– Through NexSat, NRL staff provided extensive VIIRS and MODIS
product/monitoring support to NWS during flooding, degraded air quality conditions, and TC events
User statistics– Average of 300,000 web hits per day during 2013– NexSat products are at times the only source of available satellite
information throughout the Caribbean NexSat demonstration capabilities
– Operational and in near real time since its inception in 2004 NexSat support of 12 missions involving training and customized
products toward scientific field campaigns during 2013/2014 – SEACR4S, DeepWave, J. Dunion (SAL), Marines training, TW13,
CoCoRaHS, NWS (SFO and San Juan), Beaufort Sea, TAPS, Lake Victoria, NOAA Fisheries

Issues
Please note– Variable NexSat funding limits effective planning while
minimizing contract efforts, namely from CIRA– Irregular delays in receiving global near real-time VIIRS digital
data– DOD travel restrictions have limited conference participation
99
Complete the transition of selected MODIS algorithms into VIIRS. Included in the list:– Fire detection– AOD – Binary cloud/snow & multi-cloud/snow
Develop over water AOD product to monitor nighttime dust over NW African using VIIRS DNB with lunar irradiance model
Develop VIIRS fire products for day and nighttime monitoring
Develop sea ice monitoring over various Arctic regions Apply ancillary imagery using upcoming Himawari-8 data Pending DOD approvals, present NexSat results at
conferences
Schedule for Remainder of Project
1010
Provide quantitative assessments of dust products Provide better discrimination techniques between sea
ice and low clouds in the Arctic Integrate VIIRS with upcoming ABI-like datasets from
Himawari-8 (2014), GOES-R (2016), and Meteosat Third Generation satellites (2018)
Integrate GPM’s microwave imager (GMI) and dual frequency precipitation radar (DPR) into NexSat and NRL-VIIRS product suite
Continue satellite training via a variety of outlets: social media, Webinars, military operators
