3. 3 CLASS Overview NOAA's National Data Centers and their world-wide clientele of customers look to CLASS as the sole NOAA IT infrastructure project in which all current and future large array environmental data sets will reside. CLASS provides permanent, secure storage and safe, efficient access between the Data Centers and the customers.

4. 4 CLASS Overview CLASS is a web-based data archive and distribution system for NOAA/NESDIS environmental data Archive … ingest, storage, metadate management, and data quality assurance Distribution … access, visualization, and data delivery CLASS is an extension of an 1995 operational system … SAA (Satellite Active Archive) –Transition to the CLASS architecture began in 2001 –“Dual-Site” Operational CLASS began 02 April 2004 CLASS currently supports POES, DMSP, and GOES data sets, plus RadarSat (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and SeaWiFS (Ocean Color Product) CLASS will support additional campaigns, broader user base, new functionality currently being defined –CLASS concurrently support ongoing operations and new requirements implementation
