Appendix 1: EOSDIS Large-object Database, 1/1/2001

This appendix describes the canonical large-object database we used as the baseline for the architecture study. The database is a January 1, 2001 snapshot of the planned EOSDIS data products. The information summarized here is taken from the table "Products -- SDR Baseline," which derives from a more complete table "List of Parameters," dated April 8, 1994. Both tables were provided by Hughes Applied Information Systems. January 1, 2001 was selected as the fiducial moment for two reasons:

In addition to the two tables cited above, various summary charts were provided at the Landover meeting in May. None of these charts exactly matched our purpose, which is to have a model for total quantity of image and sounder data, rate of growth of both data types, total quantity of "indices" to the data, and rate of growth of "indices" to the data.

A table is provided for each product level. Within each table, the rows -- one for each sensor -- are organized by satellite name. The following abbreviations are used:

Some sensor teams have defined extremely large granules; these have been split into 100-MB large objects.

Columns two, three, and four describe the daily quantity of granules (granules per day, megabytes per granule, and gigabytes per day). The last three column define the cumulative amount of data at the reference date (cumulative TBs, cumulative millions of granules, and cumulative millions of large objects). The cumulative numbers are based on the number of days-in-orbit of each satellite, and this figure and the expected launch data are found beside each satellite name. The top of Table A1-1 shows one row totaling all quantities for levels 0 through 2.
