NOAA JPSS Ancillary, Auxiliary, Message, and Report Data Record for Suomi-NPP

This metadata record encompasses ancillary data, auxiliary data, messages and reports for the Suomi-NPP satellite. Ancillary data is defined as any data which is not produced by JPSS, but is acquired from external providers and used by JPSS in the production of JPSS data products. Auxiliary Data is data other than that included in the sensor application packets, which is produced internally by JPSS, and is used to produce the JPSS data products. Messages and reports are generated by JPSS and provide mission specific information such as data quality, telemetry, latency, ephemeris, and sensor information. These products are produced by the NOAA Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and are distributed by the Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS).

本元数据记录涵盖苏奥米NPP（Suomi-NPP）卫星的辅助数据（Ancillary data）、附属数据（Auxiliary Data）、各类报文与报告。其中，辅助数据指并非由联合极轨卫星系统（Joint Polar Satellite System, JPSS）生成，而是从外部供应商获取并由JPSS用于其数据产品生产的各类数据；附属数据指未纳入传感器应用数据包、由JPSS内部生成且用于生产JPSS数据产品的各类数据。报文与报告由JPSS生成，可提供任务专属信息，涵盖数据质量、遥测数据、传输延迟、星历参数以及传感器相关信息。此类数据集由美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）下属的环境卫星、数据与信息服务局（National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service, NESDIS）制作，并由综合大型阵列数据管理系统（Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System, CLASS）进行分发。
