Job Description
BACKGROUND
The NOAA Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) is the science arm of NOAAs Satellite and Information Services which acquires and manages the nations environmental satellites. STAR scientists lead efforts to develop test validate and refine the science algorithms needed to drive userdefined products. They also investigate both enhanced and new sensor technology for future NOAA satellite missions and conduct research to examine which products users will need to carry out NOAAs mission goals. STAR supports the calibration and validation of all data in NOAAs satellite operations and develops new methods for intercalibrating data from NOAA polar and geostationary satellites with other satellites in the evolving international system. Additionally STAR collaboratively develops efficient methods and technology to transfer new products from research to operations.
