Abstract

The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) is National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) flagship operational polar orbiting mission that provides Earth observations across the ultraviolet to microwave regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and serves as the backbone of the global observing system. Measurements from JPSS sensors are critical not only for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) but also for climate monitoring and various other applications, such as assessing wildfire risk and modelling and tracking smoke emissions for air quality monitoring. Examples of these applications are described here.
