      NOAA Automatic Processing System

The objective of this task is to provide IMIDA with an automatic processing system to generate agro-meteorological products starting from the satellite NOAA-AVHRR data and the already available in-situ sensors networks. The system runs a data-driven chain of processes which generates, initially, six basis remote sensing products.

The following figure shows the context diagram of the proposed automatic processing system:

.

The NOAA station receives the AVHRR products and process it up to level 1b; this products are automatically detected and ingested in the products archive.

At the same time, the sensor networks are registering the meteo observations each hour and these data are stored in a central database.

When a new NOAA-AVHRR image is stored, the chain of processes starts to run: meteo observations needed are requested to the central database and the initial six products are generated.

Finally, a web application allows accessing to the available products in the system and shows them over a Google earth control integrated in the web browser.
