Accelerating Impact: User‑Driven Earth Observation Solutions from the Satellite Needs Working Group

Session ID#: 282788

Session Description:
The Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG), a U.S. Government inter-agency organization, identifies Earth observation needs across U.S. federal agencies, starting with a biannual survey. In response, NASA develops a wide range of solutions that benefit those agencies and the Earth science community. Through this process, SNWG has enabled some of NASA's most impactful datasets and mission improvements.

This session invites presentations from across the community on their applications of SNWG solutions. Solutions such as the Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel 2 (HLS) dataset, TEMPO near real-time data products, and OPERA products (land disturbance or displacement, surface water extent), are operational and already impactful. Others are more nascent in their development and actively co-designing with users, such as the Multi-Sensor Ocean Surface Winds product, the Planetary Boundary Layer products, the NISAR soil moisture product, and the Global Algal Bloom Assessment Network. Presentations on the process of co-development are also welcomed.
