1.0 SCOPE

This document defines the interface for the National Environment
Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS), ~~GOESNEXT~~
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) ~~satellite
imagery~~ and non-NOAA satellite ~~products and~~ imagery. The purpose
of this interface is to transmit data from NESDIS to the AWIPS Network
Control Facility (NCF) for AWIPS Communications Network
point-to-multipoint distribution to AWIPS and NOAAPORT sites. The
AWIPS/NESDIS interface for non-imagery satellite products (e.g., BUFR
Soundings) is defined in the ICD for the NWSTG (doc. #AA0130006), which
is available at
[[http://205.156.54.206/noaaport/html/refs.shtml]{.underline}](http://205.156.54.206/noaaport/html/refs.shtml).

1.1 BACKGROUND

Two IP-Routers will be required for the formatted GOES products that
AWIPS will receive from the NESDIS GOES Ingest and NOAAPORT Interface
(GINI). A third IP-Router will be required for backup. The non-NOAA
satellite products and imagery will pass from NESDIS to Silver Spring
Metro Center II (SMCC2) over the NOAA FOB4/WWB/SSMC Metropolitan Area
Network (MAN) and then will pass through the NWS headquarters firewall
system before passing into the NCF. All IP-Routers will interface to an
Ethernet/802.3 connection as depicted in Figure 1 (A) for the GINI LAN
or Figure 1 (B) for the LAN associated with non-NOAA satellite data.
Reference Exhibit E, Special Sensor Microwave Imager, Exhibit F,
Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (Japan) and Exhibit G,
Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (European), for the appropriate
non-NOAA satellite data format.

The point-to-multipoint data required to support the Initial Operational
Capability (IOC) is identified in Appendix K of the AWIPS System/Segment
Specification (SSS).

2.1 STANDARDS PRECEDENCE

There are variances in the Digital Equipment Corporation, Intel
Corporation, Xerox Corporation (DIX) Ethernet standard, version 2.0, and
the American National Standards Institute/Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (ANSI/IEEE) LAN standards 802.2/802.3. These
differences are relatively minor and are explained in Exhibit A to this
document. Physical layer and data link layer protocols for the NESDIS
interface are completely defined by the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 and ANSI/IEEE
802.2 Standards with the sole exception of the utilization of the length
field in the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 frame. The utilization of this field is as
specified in Reference Document c), the DIX Ethernet LAN specification,
and is described in Exhibit A, rather than the length field specified in
the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 standard. With this minor exception, the ANSI/IEEE
802.2 and ANSI/IEEE 802.3 Standards take precedence over the DIX
Ethernet version 2.0 specification.

The Internet Community specifications for IP (RFC-791) and TCP (RFC-793)
and the DoD MIL-STD specifications are intended to describe exactly the
same protocols. The RFCs and the MIL-STDs for IP and TCP differ
primarily in style and level of detail. For the purposes of the NESDIS
interface specification,

RFC-791 and RFC-793 as modified by RFC-1122 and RFC-1123 take precedence
over the MIL-STDs for IP and TCP.

Likewise, the Internet Community specification for the File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) (RFC-959, as modified by RFC-1123) and DoD MIL-STD
specification describe exactly the same protocol. For the purposes of
the NESDIS interface specification, RFC-959 and RFC-1123 take precedence
of the MIL-STD for FTP.

3.0 INTERFACE CHARACTERISTICS

This section specifies the interface characteristic for the NESDIS
interface.

3.1 PHYSICAL LAYER

The physical interface between the contractor provided router and the
NESDIS will be a standard Local Area Network (LAN) interface as
specified in the ANSI/IEEE Standard 802.3 with the following caveat: The
2 octet length field that is specified in paragraph 3.2.6 of the
ANSI/IEEE 802.3 standard will be used as a type field for the NESDIS
interface as specified in the DIX Ethernet standard, version 2.0. The
DIX Ethernet version 2.0 framing as it compares to IEEE 802.3 framing is
described in Exhibit A. The ANSI/IEEE 802.3 utilization of this field as
a length field was never widely utilized on actual networks. This
variance is allowed by Note 7 to paragraph 3.2.6 of the ANSI/IEEE 802.3
Standard as long as the value of this field exceeds 0x05EE (hex), which
is the maximum IEEE 802.3 frame size. All values that will be used in
the NESDIS interface for this field, as specified in the DIX Ethernet
Version 2.0 standard, are as shown in Exhibit A, and are 0x0800 and
larger.

3.1.1 BASEBAND MEDIUM

The baseband medium utilized for this interface will be coaxial cable of
50 ohm characteristic impedance, such as RG 58 A/U or RG 58 C/U, as
specified in the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 Standard, paragraph 10.5. This baseband
medium and the associated Medium Attachment Unit (MAU) are referred to
as type 10BASE2 in the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 Standard. The connector that will
be utilized will be a BNC type connector. The maximum length of any 50
ohm 10BASE2 coaxial cable segment between the NESDIS and the contractor
provided router will be no longer than 185 meters.

Up to five of these 10BASE2 segments may be interconnected with
repeaters for a total distance of 925 meters. The minimum length of any
10BASE2 segment between the NESDIS and the contractor provided router
will be 0.5 meters.

3.2 DATA LINK LAYER

The data link layer, which is composed of the Media Access Control (MAC)
and Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayers for this interface, will be
implemented as specified in the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 standard for the MAC
sublayer and as specified in ANSI/IEEE 802.2 for the LLC sublayer.

3.2.~~2~~1 MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL SUBLAYER

The Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer mechanism for this interface
will be Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
as specified in sections 3.0 and 4.0 of the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 standard.
The \"improved\" IEEE 802.3 MAC mechanism, that listens for the carrier
to return during the first part of inter-packet gap, as described in
paragraph 6.0 of Exhibit A (and in the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 standard) will be
implemented in the MAC sublayer for this interface. (The ANSI/IEEE 802.3
standard specifies the physical layer as well as the MAC sub-layer for
this interface).

3.2.~~3~~2 LLC SUBLAYER

The Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer protocol for this interface will
be implemented as specified in the ANSI/IEEE 802.2 standard.

3.3 NETWORK LAYER

The network layer for this interface will support the

Internet Protocol (IP) as specified in RFC-791 and MIL-STD 1777 and as
clarified in RFCs 950, 919, 922, and 1122. The Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) \[RFC-792\] and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) \[RFC
826\] will also be implemented for this interface. A subnet mask of
255.255.255.128 will be utilized for the GINI interface. An \"all ones\"
host portion of the IP destination address will be utilized for IP
Broadcast Datagrams. IP addresses and subnets from the class B number
\"165.092.XXX.XXX\" to support this interface will be assigned by the
AWIPS contractor. However, the IP address and subnet mask for the
non-NOAA satellite data will be assigned by NESDIS.

3.4 TRANSPORT LAYER

The transport layer for this interface will support the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) as specified in RFC-793 and MIL-STD 1778 and as
clarified in RFC-1122. The User Datagram Protocol (UDP), as specified in
RFC-768 and clarified by RFC-1122 will also be utilized in the transport
layer for this interface. The Transport Layer protocols are included as
Exhibit B of the document.

3.5 SESSION LAYER

No session layer protocol is applicable for this interface.

3.6 PRESENTATION LAYER

No presentation layer protocol is applicable for this interface.

3.7 APPLICATION LAYER

The application layer protocols that will be supported for this
interface are TELNET and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

The TELNET protocol that will be utilized in the this interface is
specified in RFC-854. The TELNET protocol utilizes the TCP Transport
layer protocol as specified in paragraph 3.4 of this document. The
TELNET standard (RFC-854) is included as Exhibit C of this document.

The FTP protocol that will be utilized in this interface is specified in
MIL-STD 1780 and RFC-959 and is clarified in

RFC-1123. The FTP protocol utilizes the TCP Transport layer protocol as
specified in paragraph 3.4 of this document. The FTP standard (RFC-959)
is included as Exhibit D of this document.

3.7.1 TELNET PROTOCOL

The original network environment that TELNET was designed for was an
environment where host were connected to the network, and users accessed
the network using backend terminals. All protocols were implemented in
the hosts. The internetwork environment has evolved over the past years
to include LANs connected by routers to each other and to the longhaul
network. There are fewer backend dumb terminals; users have terminals
connected to the LAN by an interface unit with the protocols necessary
for communicating with local hosts, or they have workstations that can
be looked at as a single user hosts running the full protocol suite or
as terminal emulators with an in-board interface unit. This is
sufficient to communicate locally; the terminal may access a virtual
terminal protocol in the host for remote access. The workstations may
also work this way or they may have the virtual terminal protocol as
well, and thus, be able to access remote hosts directly.

The TELNET process in the user host is referred to as Client TELNET and
the process in the remote host is referred to as Server TELNET. Most
host processors will have both Client and Server TELNET running as
applications on top of a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Client
TELNET will support backend or LAN connected terminals and Server TELNET
will support incoming requests for remote terminal support. The TELNET
data transmission is done over a full-duplex network connection provided
by the lower layer protocols. However, TELNET data is actually sent in
half-duplex mode, that is, in one direction at a time. The TELNET
RFC-854 can be found in Exhibit C of this document.

3.7.2 FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL (FTP)

The Internet standards include a rather powerful file transfer protocol
called File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and is a widely used upper layer
standard. The purpose of FTP is to define procedures for the transfer of
files between two machines. FTP is rather unusual in that it maintains
two logical connections between the machines. One connection is used for
the login between machines and uses the TELNET protocol. The other
connection is used for data transfer. This concept is shown in Figure 2.
The end user communicates with a Protocol Interpreter (PI), which
governs the control connection. The PI must transfer information between
the user and the PI\'s file System. Commands and replies are transmitted
between the user-PI and the server-PI. As depicted in the aforementioned
figure, the other machine\'s (server\'s) PI responds to the TELNET
protocol in managing connections. This TELNET connection is usually
transparent to the user when it is made in conjunction with an FTP
session. All TELNET parameters are usually negotiated via the Client and
Server software managing the FTP session.

During the file transfer, data management is performed by the other
logical connection, which is called the Data Transfer Process (DTP).
Once the DTP has performed its functions and the user\'s request has
been satisfied, the PI is used to close the connection.

FTP is somewhat limited in its capability to support different types of
data representation and the negotiation of the use of these types
between machines. The FTP user is allowed to specify a type that will be
used in the transfer (for example, ASCII, EBCDIC, etc.). ASCII is the
default type, and FTP requires that all implementations support ASCII
code. EBCDIC is also supported and is used rather extensively in data
transfer between mainframe host computers. Both ASCII and EBCDIC use a
second parameter to indicate if the characters will be used for format
control purposes. For example, the carriage control (CR), line feed
(LF), vertical tab (VT), and form feed (FF) can be defined as control
characters during the FTP session.

FTP also supports the transfer of bit streams, which it calls image
types. With this operation, the data are sent in continuous bit streams.
For the actual transfer, they are packed into 8-bit bytes. Most
operations use this type for transmitting binary images, and therefore
most FTP implementations support the image type. The File Transfer
Protocol Specification RFC-959, can be found in Exhibit D of this
document.

4.0 PRODUCT STRUCTURE

There are two major parts to each independent piece of data as it is
transferred across the interface: (1) the product identification and (2)
the product. The product identification is a block(s) of information
necessary to route the product to an appropriate processor at the
receiving site. This includes product attributes such as the location or
area covered as well as a product identifier. These two parts are
depicted below.

+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| Product                           | Product                           |

FIGURE 3 Overview of Product Content

4.1 NESDIS INTERFACE PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

For all NESDIS interface products the CCCC (originating station
identifier) that follows the T~1~T~2~A~1~A~2~ii will be \"KNES\"
indicating that the product originated from the NESDIS interface in Camp
Springs, Maryland. The first character of the WMO abbreviated heading
for satellite products is always the letter T, i.e., [T~1~ = T for all
satellite products.]{.underline} See Tables 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 for
the other characters in the WMO abbreviated heading.

In the future, NESDIS may be making operational AWIPS satellite image
sectors using exclusively METEOSAT digital data in the event of a GOES
failure. WMO headers for such products have not yet been added to
reflect this in Table 4.3.

NOTES - Table 4.4A

1\. Latitude and longitude are in 10^-4^ degrees (ten-thousandths).

2\. Increments are in units of tenths of meters, at the tangent latitude
(60 degree latitude for Polar Stereographic) circle nearest to the pole
in the projection plane.

3\. Latitude values are limited to the range 0 - 900,000. Bit 1 is set
to 1 to indicate south latitude.

4\. Longitude values are limited to the range 0 - 3,600,000. Bit one is
set to 1 to indicate west longitude.

5\. Octet 37:

> Bit 1 set to 0 if the North Pole is on the projection plane.
>
> Bit 1 set to 1 if the South Pole is on the projection plane.

6\. Octet 38, the Scanning mode or direction:

> Bit 1 - Set to 0 to indicate left to right.

Bit 2 - Set to 0 to indicate top to bottom.

Bit 3 - Set to 0 to indicate the points scan first along the

x-axis and then along the y-axis (FORTRAN: (I,J)).

Setting the bit(s) to 1 indicates the reverse scanning mode.

7\. Octet 47, Navigation/Calibration Indicator

Set to 0 to indicate no nav./cal. information included

(PDB = 512 octets, octets 48-512 are blanks)

Set to 1 to indicate nav. and cal. information included

Set to 2 to indicate nav. information only included

Set to 3 to indicate cal. information only included

> (For values 1-3, PDB size will likely increase to no more than 2048
> octets). Additional ICD tables will be generated defining nav./cal.
> octets for each of the creating entities (satellite/imagery types) for
> which nav./cal. is to be included.

8\. All fields will appear with high order bit first over the
communications medium.

Notes: 1. These outside corner points ~~these values~~ are rounded. The
exact corner points are found in the referenced GRIB specification.

2\. ~~NOTE:~~ Table 4.8 summarizes the approximate latitudinal and
longitudinal extent (see product definition block-grid dimensions) for
each remapped product. The exact coverage will be included in the
product definition block for each product as it is transmitted. The
information is included here as examples. Sufficient information will be
transmitted with each image product for its interpretation as to size,
location, orientation, and pixel resolution. The AWIPS processing
software shall be flexible so that these attributes of the data need not
be held fixed for a particular Map Description.

Tables 4.9 - 4.16 which follow summarize the entries for the resolution,
approximate number of records (blocks) per remapped product, and size of
record (pixels per record) fields for each remapped product as specified
in the product definition block. Again this information will be included
in the product definition block for each product as it is transmitted.
It is included here to show the approximate set of values for each
product. [Note that Bytes/Map does not include either the size of the
header block or the size of the end of product block.]{.underline}

4.4 DEFINITION OF IMAGER CALIBRATION COEFFICIENTS ARRAYS

The Imager Calibration Coefficients Array field in the Product
Definition Block (PDB), bytes 44 - 91, contains a set of terms used in
calibration equations. The field is defined as being 48 bytes in length,
however, for all but VIS products only a portion of the field is
meaningful. Any unused bytes in the field will be zero filled.

For VIS products this field contains a total of 24 (2 byte integer)
terms, 3 terms (bias, gain and quadratic in that order) for detectors
1-8 (in that order).

For IR products the Imager Calibration Coefficients Array contains a
total of 6 (2-byte integer terms, 3 terms (bias, gain and quadratic in
that order) for detectors 1-2. The equation used to derive calibration
information for each of the GOES products is:

R = a~0~ + a~1~c + a~2~c^2^

where R = radiance

a~0~ = bias

a~1~ = gain

a~2~ = quadratic (non-linearity coefficient)

c = raw sensor output or \"count\"

The calibration coefficients will be provided in the remapped GOES
Product Definition Block (PDB).

For WV products, the above equation applies, with the exception that
only one detector is defined. Thus, there are 3 terms (bias, gain, and
quadratic) for a single detector in the Imager Calibration Coefficients
Array field of the header for WV products.

The Imager Calibration Coefficients Array field is zero filled for DR
products. It does not have meaning for these products.

4.5 RECORD DEFINITION

Each record identified within a remapped GOES product corresponds to one
scan line of the image. The size of each scan line is given in bytes 7-8
of the Product Definition Block (PDB). Each pixel in an image is
represented by one byte (8 bits), and is binary in form. The most
significant bit of the pixel is the first bit in the 8 bit field.

For VIS products each pixel represents a brightness with a range of
binary 0 = dark to 254 = bright.

For IR and WV products each pixel represents a radiance with a range of
binary 0 = warm to 254 = cold.

For all remapped products the binary value 255 is reserved to indicate
missing or bad data.

4.6 END OF PRODUCT

The end of each product is explicitly defined as a full record (based on
record length of product) of interleaved bytes equal to binary 255 and
binary 0, with the first byte of the record = 255.

4.7 DESCRIPTION OF AWIPS MAP REGISTRATION METHODOLOGY

The following paragraphs describe the methodology used for the AWIPS
image corner point calculations, the image product resolution
calculation, the spherical earth radius assumptions, and the elliptical
earth model based overlay maps.

4.7.1 AWIPS OVERLAY MAPS ARE BASED ON AN ELLIPTICAL EARTH

AWIPS overlay maps are based on an elliptical earth model - the GRS80 or
NAD83 reference ellipsoid with equatorial radius 6378137 meters and
polar radius 6356752.314 meters. Rather than requiring these maps to be
projected onto a spherical earth before conversion to image map
projections, AWIPS requires all other data types to be referenced to
this elliptical earth model before conversion to image map projections.
A datum from geodetic (elliptical) latitude PHI and longitude THETA
would be plotted on the image at image projection latitude PHI and
longitude THETA, its correct position relative to the overlay maps. As a
result, the latitude of any datum from an AWIPS image is to be
interpreted as a geodetic (elliptical) latitude.

4.7.2 AWIPS IMAGE CORNER POINTS CALCULATION AND SPHERICAL EARTH RADIUS
IMPORTANCE

All AWIPS image types except one - the Northern Hemisphere Composite -
are defined relative to National Weather Service AWIPS grids defined in
NCEP Office Note 388; the image corner point locations are certain grid
point locations. Each grid is a rectangular array of points from a
particular projection of a spherical earth surface onto a plane; the
projection type is Lambert Conformal, Polar Stereographic, or Mercator.
Office Note 388 further defines each grid by giving values for Dx, the
distance on the earth's surface, at a reference latitude, corresponding
to the separation between grid columns, and Dy, the distance on the
earth's surface, at the reference latitude, corresponding to the
separation between grid rows. The latitude and longitude of one grid
point are also specified. Given a latitude and longitude of a grid
point, the value Dx defines the distance to the next grid point of that
row and the latitude and longitude of that next point is calculated
applying the radius of the assumed spherical earth.

Although Office Note 388 (March 10, 1998, version) specifies an assumed
spherical earth radius of 6367.47 kilometers (Section 2, Page 17, Table
7), the radius actually used to calculate latitudes and longitudes of
the corner points is 6371.2 kilometers. AWIPS also uses spherical earth
radius 6371.2 kilometers for calculating grid point latitudes and
longitudes.

Northern Hemisphere Composite corner point latitudes and longitudes were
calculated by finding the corner grid point locations of a 513 row by
1025 grid point array with 24.0000 kilometers (assuming an earth radius
of 6371.2 kilometers) between adjacent points at 60 deg N and with the
513th point of the top line at the north pole.

4.7.3 AWIPS IMAGE PRODUCT RESOLUTIONS CALCULATION

For all AWIPS image products except the Northern Hemisphere Composite,
the images are produced by embedding some integral number of image rows
and pixels between the grid rows and columns of the NWS Office Note 388
grids with respect to which the images are specified. Office Note 388
states the earth distance (Dx and Dy) between grid points at the
reference latitude. Suppose the image is produced by embedding W pixels
between adjacent grid points. Then the image resolution is (Dx or Dy) /
W. Thus, for example, the resolution of the East CONUS Lambert visible
image at 25 N is (81.2705 kilometers) / 80 = 1.0159 kilometers.

The resolution of the Northern Hemisphere Composite is simply defined to
be 24.0000 kilometers.

Note that for all image products, the lower left corner pixel is not
centered at the lower left corner gridpoint latitude and longitude, but
is "offset" by a half pixel so that the lower and left pixel edges lie
along the lower and left sides of the rectangle defined by the corner
points. Similarly, all pixels lie within the rectangle. Also note that
the resolution at 25 N of 1.0159 kilometers conforms to the AWIPS
specification of 1.000 kilometer at 35 N.

\(DIX\) Ethernet LAN Standard, Version 2.0

THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

EXHIBIT A: ANSI/IEEE 802.2-802.3 verses DIX Ethernet, Version 2.0

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The latest Digital Equipment Corporation, Intel Corporation, and Xerox
Corporation (DIX) Ethernet standard is now over 12 years old. Once IEEE
802.3 became a standard, DEC, Intel and Xerox stopped issuing updates to
The Ethernet Local Area Network Specification. As shown in Section 2.0
of the AWIPS/NESDIS ICD, the last version of this Ethernet Standard was
Version 2.0 which was issued in 1982. Ethernet Version 2.0 was very
similar to the early versions of IEEE 802.3, but as the IEEE 802.3
standard matured, a few substantive, technical, differences appeared.
This exhibit is not intended to be an exhaustive treatise on variations
in these standards. It is provided as background material only. The
reader is advised to refer to the referenced standards documents for the
specific technical details of these protocols. The following paragraphs
summarize the major differences in these standards:

2.0 AUI/Transceiver Interface

Differences in the way the Attached Unit Interface (AUI)/transceiver
interface was defined caused compatibility problems when mixing Ethernet
v2.0 nodes and IEEE 802.3 transceivers or ANSI/IEEE 802.3 nodes and
Ethernet v2.0 transceivers in the early IEEE 802.3 product offerings.
Eventually, the various vendors found ways to implement the IEEE 802.3
specification that were tolerant of devices built to the Ethernet
Version 2.0 specification. This is not a very important factor in terms
of equipment interoperabilty for the AWIPS/NESDIS interface since it
pertains mainly to the \"THICK Ethernet\", 10BASE5 implementations
rather than the 10BASE2 and 10BASET implementations for which the
AUI/transceiver interface is internal to the host computer.

3.0 TYPE FIELD VS. LENGTH FIELD

The most notable DIX Ethernet V 2.0 feature that is still common in
today\'s ANSI/IEEE 802.3 networking products is the difference in frame
format with regard to the TYPE/LENGTH field. Ethernet Version 2.0 frames
have a two octet type field following the Source address. This Ethernet
type field is used to determine which client protocol (eg. IP,
AppleTalk, IPX, etc) the

frame is for. ANSI/IEEE 802.3 frames have a two octet length field in
this position and use the 802.2 LLC to accomplish what Ethernet does in
the type field. Tables A-1 and A-2 shows the difference in DIX Ethernet
and ANSI/IEEE 802.3 framing. Very few networks use the IEEE 802.3
framing format today, and the AAO has analyzed several different NOAA
TCP/IP host computers and networks with a network analyzer and has found
that all networks and hosts surveyed utilized the older DIX Ethernet
framing including the type field.

The value of the IEEE 802.3 length field is always less than 1518
decimal (or 0x5EE hex) and no DIX Ethernet V 2.0 type fields used today
are less than that. Only a few protocol types were numbered below 0x600
when IEEE formalized the 802.3 standard, and those protocol numbers were
retired and assigned new numbers above 0x600. Therefore, any packet with
a valid length ( \< 0x600) is a IEEE 802.3 packet. Any others ( \>
0x600) are standard DIX Ethernet version 2.0 packets. It is possible for
a node to detect which frame format is in use and the two formats can
both be used on the same network. In theory the DIX Ethernet version 2.0
and ANSI/IEEE 802.3 framing are interoperable. In practice, however,
interoperability between one host using DIX Ethernet v2.0 framing and
another host using ANSI/IEEE 802.3 framing depends on the specific
vendors\' hardware and software implementations. If all hosts on a
network utilize the same framing (either Ethernet v2.0 or ANSI/IEEE
802.3) then interoperability at the physical layer may be assumed.

4.0 REPEATER DEFINITION

The initial DIX Ethernet Version 2.0 repeater definition was inadequate.
An improved repeater specification was standardized in 1985 and appears
in current editions of ANSI/IEEE 802.3. All modern repeaters and hubs
are made to the post 1985 IEEE 802.3 specification.

5.0 MEDIA TYPES SUPPORTED

Only the thick coaxial media and transceiver were specified in DIX
Ethernet V 2.0. The other transceivers and media types such as: 10BASE2,
10BASE-T, etc appeared only in the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 standard.

6.0 MAC SUB-LAYER IMPROVEMENT

A small but important modification to the MAC sublayer was included in
the ANSI/IEEE 802.3 standard that did not appear in the DIX Ethernet V
2.0 standard. This \"improvement\" forces the MAC mechanism to listen
for the carrier to return during the first part of inter-packet gap and
will continue to wait (or defer) if it senses a carrier. A MAC without
this improvement will start the interpacket gap timer when the carrier
goes away and will transmit when the timer expires (assuming it has
other packets in the transmit queue). All modern ANSI/IEEE 802.3
implementations utilize this \"improved\" MAC algorithm.

7.0 LINK CONTROL

Ethernet version 2 combined the LLC and MAC functions into a single
protocol. ANSI/IEEE provides these functions via separate LLC and MAC
protocols. Also, Ethernet version 2 provided for only unacknowledged,
connectionless service.

1.0 Introduction

Environmental Data Record (EDR) data sets are formatted into the Shared
Processing Data Exchange Format (DEF) at Fleet Numerical Oceanography
Center (FNOC). They are transmitted to National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service (NESDIS) via communication satellite, and
given a data set name to identify it on the NESDIS Computer Central
Environmental Satellite Computer System (CEMSCS). There are
approximately 143 orbits acquired during a 23 hour period, but only 10
of these orbits will reside on the CEMSCS at any given time. Data is
from each of the 2 Defense Meteorological Support Program (DMSP) polar
orbiting satellites \[DMSP F--10(S4) and F--11(S5)\].

Upon the generation of the above data set, the data is converted from
the DEF to the Intermediate database (IDB) format. Each data set has up
to 1725 records of 1300 eight-bit bytes of data and is stored into the
IDB as one of 30 blocks aligned to 1725 records boundaries. The
alignment is based upon the orbit number.

The following section describes the IDB format in detail.

2.1.1 Dataset Abstract for SSMI Intermediate Database (IDB)

The Intermediate Database is generated by processing FNOC data sets into
a rotating database of 30 sequences. The first record of each of the
sequences is composed of 6 data ID blocks from the first DEF text field
and put into a zero filled record of 1300 bytes. The data part of the
record consists off a 12 byte \"Scan Header Block\" and 1300 bytes of
the \"Data Block\" which are written to a record of 1300 bytes. This is
repeated until the end of the data set (1725 lines). This database
contains both Northern and Southern Hemisphere data.

2.1.4 Data Record Format Description

The data record consists of a Scan Header Block and an EDR Data Block
and found in records 2 through the end of the data set (see 2.1.3).

The EDR Scan Header has the Scan Counter which is a binary number (1
through 1724) and the B-SCAN start time is in minutes from the beginning
of the day (0 to 86,400). NOTE: There are no A-Scan times associated
with these data sets.

The Data Block format is based upon 64 view spots per SCAN and contains
a Latitude/Longitude value along with 14 parameters of which one is a
spare. All parameters such as ice concentration of 0 at the Equator, are
available for each of the view spots.

3.0 Programmer Note: How to obtain several of the important parameters
for processing an orbit.

The year of the date is found in 1 place only. The first record of each
sequence in 16-bit word 11 (bytes 21,22).

Times associated with the data:

Starting Julian Day 16 bit word 253 in (Rev Header Block)

Starting Hour 8-bit word (byte) 507 in (Rev Header Block)

Starting Minute 8-bit word (byte) 508 in (Rev Header Block)

Starting Second 8-bit word (byte) 509 in (Rev Header Block).

Ending Hour 8-bit word (byte) 512

Ending Minute 8-bit word (byte) 513

Ending Second 8-bit word (byte) 514

The number of data blocks (scan lines) can be found in 16-bit word 22
(bytes 43,44) of the directory record.

The orbit number is given only once and is in 32-bit word 126; or 16-bit
word 252 (bytes 503, 504) of the directory record.

The parameters of time, latitude and longitude of the data record 2-1725
each sequence) need special consideration.

The times are given in terms of seconds during the day of zero to
86,400. It appears that a data set will not extend beyond a day
boundary.

The Latitudes are in terms of degrees at the South Pole to 90 degrees at
the Equator and 180 degrees at the North Pole. The actual binary numbers
in the data sets are scaled by 100 (e.g. Equator is 9000).

The Longitudes are in terms of 0 to 360 and are also scaled by 100.
Computation of the longitude is complicated because numbers as great to
36,000 extend into the sign bit of a 16-bit word making the number
negative. It will have to be treated as an unsigned integer.
