Developing Metrics for NASA Earth Science Interdisciplinary Data Products and Services

Metrics are measures that able to produce quantifiable information. There many applications of metrics in Earth science data and services; for example, frequently used track service performance progress. In short, developing, collecting analyzing essential activities better support research, applications, education. As one the largest repositories world, NASA’s Science Data Information System (ESDIS) Project supports twelve Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs). Standard have been developed by ESDIS (EMS). These collected analyzed routinely at each DAAC. it is expected total volume will continue grow rapidly, timely technologies (e.g., cloud computing, AI/ML) improve discovery accessibility, opportunities developing new services community also arise, especially interdisciplinary research applications. However, such has become a challenge because multiple datasets often needed. Current designed single predefined dataset or service, disadvantage services. this paper, we assess current using NASA DAACs, Goddard Sciences Services Center (GES DISC), as an discuss challenges opportunities, along with recommendations addressing satellite products Highlights Overview GES DISC servicesOverview existing collection methods analysis tools examplesDiscuss services
