The Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) provided data and software from the Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) mission to the ESDIS Cumulus (Cloud-based data ingest, archive, distribution and management system) prototype. GHRC has published six data products from the HS3 mission, in CF compliant netCDF format, which is the standard format selected for the mission. In some cases, the data are also available in an alternate format that is widely used by a particular data community. The HS3 package provided to Cumulus includes links to the source data, the published data and a description of any processing done at GHRC. GHRC software provided includes any data transformation performed at the DAAC (netCDF format conversion or CF metadata updates), metadata generation, browse image generation, data ingest and archive routines.
