The specifications include sizing estimates for the processing and storage capacities of each data system element, as well as traffic analyses of data flows between the elements internally, and also externally across the data system interfaces. The specifications for the data system, as well as for the individual planning and scheduling, control and monitoring, data acquisition and processing, calibration and validation, and data archive and distribution components, do not yet fully specify the data system in the complete manner needed to achieve the scientific objectives of the MODIS instruments and science teams. The teams have not yet been formed; however, it was possible to develop the specifications and conceptual design based on the present concept of EosDIS, the Level-1 and Level-2 Functional Requirements Documents, the Operations Concept, and through interviews and meetings with key members of the scientific community.Document ID19890006077Acquisition SourceLegacy CDMSDocument TypeTechnical Memorandum (TM)AuthorsHan, D.*(NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD., United States)*Salomonson, V.*(NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD., United States)*Ormsby, J.*(NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD., United States)*Ardanuy, P.*(Research and Data Systems, Inc., Greenbelt MD., United States)*Mckay, A.*(Research and Data Systems, Inc., Greenbelt MD., United States)*Hoyt, D.*(Research and Data Systems, Inc., Greenbelt MD., United States)*Jaffin, S.*(Research and Data Systems, Inc., Greenbelt MD., United States)*Vallette, B.*(Research and Data Systems, Inc., Greenbelt MD., United States)*Sharts, B.*(General Sciences Corp.
