Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS)


CLASS is a web-based data archive and distribution system for NOAA’s environmental data. It is NOAA's premier online facility for the distribution of NOAA and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) operational environmental satellite data (Geostationary and Polar (GOES and POES), and DMSP) and derived data products. CLASS is evolving to support additional satellite data streams, such as MetOp, EOS/MODIS, NPP, and NPOESS, and NOAA's in situ environmental sensors, such as NEXRAD, USCRN, COOP/NERON, and oceanographic sensors and buoys, plus geophysical and solar environmental data. CLASS is in its second year of a major 10-year growth program, adding new data sets and functionality to support a broader user base. To learn more about CLASS, please see the referenced documents below, or visit our online system at http://www.class.noaa.gov.
