The Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS) – Updates and Future Developments

As earth observing services and techniques have flourished, data and products have exponentially grown, like the proliferation of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations capable of providing real-time data, Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) stations shifting to kHz lasers, and Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI)’s implementation of VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) telescopes. The CDDIS is continually evolving to fulfill the new storage, quality check, and latency requirements that these changes bring, as well as meet new standards such as the shift toward FAIR and open science. These have shaped how the CDDIS develops new software and resources. Beginning next year, the CDDIS will begin to transition their data and products to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, beginning with DORIS data. This poster will highlight the CDDIS’s recently updated processing system, new data and products available, and future work.

The Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS) – SLR Updates

The Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS), established in 1982, is NASA’s archive for space geodesy and geodynamics. Over decades, the CDDIS has grown and evolved alongside space geodesy communities, such as the DORIS, GNSS, SLR, and VLBI user communities. With this growth, different needs have becoming apparent for various sub-groups. Generally, the CDDIS ensures new updates and releases of data and products are made known to the general user community. In addition to this, inquiries on the frequency of data and product uses have become more common from various agencies. This poster provides an overview of these items.

Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS) Contributions to GGOS

The Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS) provides essential support for the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) by operating a data and product archive for the main geodetic techniques. As GGOS matures and grows, the CDDIS adopts the latest data practices to strengthen its support for the community and ensure quality products are available in a timely manner. To this end, the CDDIS is continually refining its software backend, performing developments such as the 2023 implementation of a middleware processing system, which is successfully being used in operation to provide GNSS-based Upper Atmospheric Realtime Disaster Information and Alert Network (GUARDIAN) and Global Differential GPS System (GDGPS) products. In addition, the CDDIS has 1) released new data and products, 2) performed updates to facilitate navigation of the archive, and 3) made it easier to cite the data and products being added. This poster explores the breadth of work done at the CDDIS and provides highlights of the latest developments.
