Atmospheric & Climate Modeling
| Atmospheric Remote Sensing, Modeling, and Interpretation | The Planetary Spectrum Generator (PSG) is a modeling tool that creates and analyzes planetary spectra (atmospheres and surfaces) across a wide wavelength range (50 nm to 100 mm) from any observatory, orbiter, or lander. PSG can also process mass-spectrometry data from space missions and laboratory instruments by integrating advanced radiative transfer models, spectroscopic databases, and planetary databases. |
| Planetary Climate Modeling and Forecasting | Models terrestrial planet atmospheres and climates with a variety of models and techniques. |
Exoplanet Analysis
| EMAC Computer Modeling and Analysis Tools | The Exoplanet Modeling and Analysis Center (EMAC) serves as a catalog, repository, and integration platform for modeling and analysis resources focused on the study of exoplanet characteristics and environments. EMAC is a key project of Goddard’s Sellers Exoplanet Environments Collaboration (SEEC). |
| Exoplanet Spectroscopy Data Simulation | Simulation tools and expertise for modeling spectroscopic measurements of exoplanet atmospheres and surfaces. |
High-Performance Computing & Visualization
| NASA Center for Climate Simulation | The NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) is a High-Performance Computing (HPC) center supporting NASA scientists and engineers in Earth science applications. NCCS provides computing, cloud, analytics, visualization, data sharing, and climate data services to advance weather and climate research and enable future scientific discoveries that benefit humankind. |
| Scientific Visualization Studio | The Goddard Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS) creates data-driven visualizations, animations, and images to advance understanding of Earth and space sciences. Working closely with NASA and academic scientists, the SVS produces high-quality visuals spanning disciplines such as astronomy, planetary science, climatology, cartography, and 3D modeling. |
