The AQ cluster has a fundamental need for a set of CORE web services that allow meaningful user-access to satellite data. These services include:
+
The purpose of this use case is to expose data stored in the NASA GSFC DISC via OGC services to increase the discovery, access, and use of these data holdings by air quality scientists, researchers, managers, and those in NASA’s partner organizations.
* Data access by space-time-parameter query on granules
 
* Subsetting that clips the data to user-specified BBOX
 
* Mosaicing that splices granule mosaic into a coherent dataset 
 
 
The proper chaining of these services results in a higher order service, WCS, that returns the requested satellite data for the BBOX, Time, Parameter. Not more not less. Such a WCS service was in fact used in the Web service chaining experiment. Extending that service to return numeric satellite data (not just images) is the goal.

Use Case Identification

Use Case Designation

AQ.SatelliteData.1.b

Use Case Name

Short name: GSFC DISC WCS

Long name: Air quality user-access to OMI NO2 data using a WCS

Use Case Definition

The purpose of this use case is to expose data stored in the NASA GSFC DISC via OGC services to increase the discovery, access, and use of these data holdings by air quality scientists, researchers, managers, and those in NASA’s partner organizations.

Actors

Primary Actors

Air quality analysts interested in using satellite data for assessing air pollution, comparing satellite and surface data, "ground-truthing" model results.

Other Actors

Preconditions

  • 1. OMI NO2 data are available through open interfaces
  • 2. Data access service specifications, e.g. OGC Web Coverage Service (WCS), can be implemented by data provider or mediator
  • 3. "Pre-processing", such as mosaicking and subsetting can be conducted to prepare the OMI NO2 data for WCS access.

Postconditions

  • 1. Access of OMI NO2 data in a numeric format (as opposed to image format) covering the spatial area, time range, and parameters that were specified in the query.

Normal Flow (Process Model)

  • 1) The user discovers the OMI NO2 WCS
  • 2) The user submits a WCS GetCoverage request that includes bounding box, time, and parameter filters
  • 3) The GSFC DISC provides the data that meets the query criteria. In the process, the data provider may need to execute swath mosaicking and data subsetting services.

Alternative Flows

Successful Outcomes

  • 1.Operation succeeds and user obtains OMI NO2 data adhering to the requested spatial, temporal, and parameter filters.

Failure Outcomes

  • 1.
  • 2.
