Increasing Discovery and Usability of Earth Science Satellite Data with My NASA Data
For 20 years, the My NASA Data project at NASA Langley Research Center has developed innovative approaches to increase the use of NASA’s satellite data by learners. My NASA Data offers a variety of authentic Earth Science datasets and a data visualization tool, eliminating the need for educators and/or learners to obtain specialized knowledge of GIS data formats and software to access and use authentic Earth Science data. While there is no shortage of available data, as federal government agencies such as NASA house petabytes of freely accessible Earth Science datasets, much of the data are only available for download and visualization in specialized formats and software, limiting their accessibility to educators and learners, especially those in primary and secondary school. Using the Google Earth Engine platform, the My NASA Data team has recently reinvented their data visualization tool, called the Earth System Data Explorer (ESDE). The ESDE gives users the capability to explore over 60 Earth Science satellite datasets in a multitude of formats such as maps, graphs, and data table Its new and improved user interface design was developed based on the preferences of educators, whom the My NASA Data project has over 20 years’ experience working with. Earth Science and GIS Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) structured the data in a professional and scientific manner. During Fiscal Year 2023, the My NASA Data website received over 1 million digital engagements, with over one-third being visitors to the data visualization tool. These metrics highlight the interest in a visualization tool that is simple and free to use with reliable and trusted datasets. The ESDE empowers users to readily relate and analyze NASA Earth Science data within their area of interest. The team used a user-centered design (UCD) framework to receive and incorporate feedback into the application’s design. Core requested features include the ability to create time series graphs, comparative analysis of maps, and download the data as CSV file. Responses indicate that advances in data visualization tools such as the ESDE make authentic Earth Science data more accessible. This presentation will cover how the My NASA Data project develops tools to enhance data discovery and accessibility, as well as how SME and user suggestions are incorporated.

Implementation of a standard format for GPS common view data
A new format for standardizing common view time transfer data, recommended by the Consultative Committee for the Definition of the Second, is being implemented in receivers commonly used for contributing data for the generation of International Atomic Time. We discuss three aspects of this new format that potentially improve GPS common-view time transfer: (1) the standard specifies the method for treating short term data, (2) it presents data in consistent formats including needed terms not previously available, and (3) the standard includes a header of parameters important for the GPS common-view process. In coordination with the release of firmware conforming to this new format the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures will release future international track schedules consistent with the new standard.

IMAGE Software Suite
The IMAGE Mission is generating a truely unique set of magnetospheric measurement through a first-of-its-kind complement of remote, global observations. These data are being distributed in the Universal Data Format (UDF), which consists of data, calibration, and documentation. This is an open dataset, available to all by request to the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Browse data, which consists of summary observations, is also available through the NSSDC in the Common Data Format (CDF) and graphic representations of the browse data. Access to the browse data can be achieved through the NSSDC CDAWeb services or by use of NSSDC provided software tools. This presentation documents the software tools, being provided by the IMAGE team, for use in viewing and analyzing the UDF telemetry data. Like the IMAGE data, these tools are openly available. What these tools can do, how they can be obtained, and how they are expected to evolve will be discussed.

Chemical-specific Parameters Dataset
The chemical-specific parameters dataset is searchable for physicochemical information for multiple chemicals simultaneously. After selecting chemicals of interest and the desired parameters, the RAIS will generate a table containing the values, chosen according to an established hierarchy. Results can be downloaded in Excel format. Over 40 parameters are available, including melting point, boiling point, density, density, vapor pressure, water solubility, and Henry’s Law constants. Thirteen primary sources are used to populate the dataset of chemical-specific parameters. These values should be used in cancer risk and noncancer hazard assessments for the calculation of preliminary remediation goals (PRGs), hazard characterization, and transport modeling. Users can select up to 1000 chemicals per query. The dataset supports environmental risk assessments, regulatory decision-making, and environmental planning with tools for benchmarking against risk-based standards. This structured approach ensures a robust evaluation of environmental risks tailored to regulatory needs.

NGEE Arctic Phase 4 Plant Functional Type Framework for Pan-Arctic Vegetation
The NGEE-Arctic research team identified a common set of hierarchical plant functional types (PFTs) for pan-arctic vegetation that we will use across our research activities. Interdisciplinary work within a large team requires agreement regarding levels of functional organization so that knowledge, data, and technologies can be shared and combined effectively. The team has identified plant functional types as a crucial area where such interoperability is needed. PFTs are used to represent plant pools and fluxes within models, summarize observational data, and map vegetation across the landscape. Within each of these applications, varying levels of PFT specificity are needed according to the specific scientific research goal, computational limitations, and data availability. By agreeing on a specific hierarchical framework for grouping variables in our vegetation data, we ensure the resulting research products will be robust, flexible, and scalable. In this document, we lay out the agreed upon PFT framework with definitions and references to existing literature. Table 1 included in the "NGA700_Phase4PFTFramework_about*" file outlines the relationship between NGEE-Arctic Phase 4, Tier 1 PFTs and the PFTs used within prominent arctic literature as well as publications by the NGEE-Arctic team during phases 1-3.This dataset consists of a table detailing a hierarchical PFT framework that spans 4 tiers with the most granular PFTs listed in tier 1 and the most general PFTs in tier 4. The PFTs within each tier has a single column in the dataset where the PFTs are named and a separate column where the characteristics used to define that PFT are listed. Grey fill of the cells is used to indicate where a given PFT starts to “lose” tier 1 details as you look from left to right. Note the excel file has merged cells to indicate grouping of PFTs across the Tiers- it will not translate into a delimited filetype (.csv, .txt, etc) without modification thus the hierarchical PFT framework table is available in three different file formats: 1) NGA700_Phase4PTS.xlsx – maintains the merged cells and grey fill; 2) NGA700_Phase4PTS.csv – merged cells are split, and grey fill is removed; 3) NGA700_Phase4PTS.pdf – image of the table with merged cells and grey fill. Metadata document included as a *.pdf and file-level metadata and data dictionary as *.csv files.

The optical absorption of triatomic carbon C3 for the wavelength range 260 to 560 nm
The spectral absorption properties of C3 have been measured in a shock tube containing a test gas mixture of acetylene diluted with argon. The absorption of a pulsed xenon light source was measured by means of eight photomultiplier channels to a spectrograph and an accompanying drum camera. The postshock test gas temperature and pressure were varied over the range 3240 to 4300 K and 37 to 229 kPa, respectively. The results showed appreciable absorption by C3 for the wavelength range 300 to 540 nm. The various reported measurements of the heat of formation of C3 which are available in the open literature were reviewed, and a value of 198 kcal/mol is recommended. This value, along with best available values for other species, was used to calculate the number density of C3 for the conditions of the present experiments in order to compute absorption cross section or electronic oscillator strength. The computed electronic oscillator strength varied from a high of 0.062 at 3300 K to a low of 0.036 at 3900 K.

Evaluated kinetic and photochemical data for atmospheric chemistry
This paper contains a critical evaluation of the kinetics and photochemistry of gas phase chemical reactions of neutral species involved in middle atmosphere chemistry (10-55 km altitude). Data sheets have been prepared for 148 thermal and photochemical reactions, containing summaries of the available experimental data with notes giving details of the experimental procedures. For each reaction a preferred value of the rate coefficient at 298 K is given together with a temperature dependency where possible. The selection of the preferred value is discussed, and estimates of the accuracies of the rate coefficients and temperature coefficients have been made for each reaction. The data sheets are intended to provide the basic physical chemical data needed as input for calculations which model atmospheric chemistry. A table summarizing the preferred rate data is provided, together with an appendix listing the available data on enthalpies of formation of the reactant and product species.

The delta upsilon = 1 fundamental bands of carbon monoxide in late-type stars
A program was begun to develop the fundamental vibration-rotation bands of CO near 4.7 micron, as a tool to investigate the properties of late type stellar atmospheres. The strong delta v = 1 lines are sensitive probes of the thermal structure of the outer layers, which can be strongly affected by the CO, itself: cooling in the fundamental lines can depress the surface temperature to low values that are in sharp contrast with those derived from chromospheric diagnostics like Ca II K and Mg II k. Cool atmospheric models are being constructed to reproduce observed high resolution CO spectra of several late-type stars. The sensitivity is illustrated of CO LTE spectra to variations in T sub eff, log g, (Fe/H), and isotopic abundances of C and O for a grid of such models. In parallel, the assumptions of LTE line formation are tested using newly available cross sections for translational-to-vibrational energy exchange in collisions of atomic H on CO. In addition, spectra of CO and Ca II K calculated from semi-empirical UV based hot chromospheric models are used to estimate geometrical filling factors for the CO dominated and chromospheric regions on the stellar surface, in the spirit of Ayres' thermal bifurcation scenario.
