  1. GPM Applications Workshop 12-13.November.2013

  2. GPM Applications Workshop 12-13.November.2013 Organized with:

  3. Earth Science & Applications The national strategy outlined here has as its overarching objective a program of scientific discovery and development of applications that will enhance economic competitiveness, protect life and property, and assist in the stewardship of the planet for this and future generations. Earth Science Decadal Survey |‌ 3

  4. NASA Operating Missions (USGS) |‌ 4

  5. NASA Earth Science Technology Flight Missions Research Data Systems Education Applications The NASA Earth Science Division supports basic and applied research on the Earth system and its processes. Primary efforts are to characterize, understand, and improve predictions of the Earth system. In parallel with research, NASA pursues innovative and practical uses of Earth science data and results to inform and support decisions of government, business, and civil society. |‌ 5

  6. ESD/Applied Sciences Program Discovering and demonstrating innovative and practical uses of Earth observations in organizations’ policy, business, and management decisions. http://AppliedSciences.NASA.gov Applications Prove-out, develop, and transition applications ideas for sustained uses of Earth obs. in decision making. Capacity Building Build skills and capabilities in US and developing countries to access Earth observations to benefit society. Mission Planning Identify applications early in mission lifecycle and integrate end-user needs in mission design and development. |‌ 6

  7. Applications Areas Emphasis in 4 Applications Areas Support opportunities in 5 additional areas Agriculture Climate Disasters Water Resources Oceans Energy Health & Air Quality Weather Ecological Forecasting |‌ 7

  8. Earth Observations Priorities Identify critical Earth observation priorities common to many GEO societal benefit areas. Meta-analysis based on priorities from ~1700 reports. Report updated March 2012. Available at:http://sbageotask.larc.nasa.gov/ |‌ 8

  9. Observations Priority Analysis <<< Highest Ranked Observations and Associated Societal Benefit Areas Precipitation was highest ranked observation. Top Five: Precipitation, Soil Moisture, Surface Air Temperature, Land Cover, Surface Wind http://sbageotask.larc.nasa.gov/

  10. The mind may, as it appears to me, divide science into three parts. The first comprises the most theoretical principles, and those more abstract notions whose application is either unknown or very remote. The second is composed of those general truths which still belong to pure theory, but lead nevertheless by a straight and short road to practical results. Methods of application and means of execution make up the third. Each of these different portions of science may be separately cultivated, although reason and experience show that none of them can prosper long, if it be absolutely cut off from the other two. - Alexis DeTocqueville Democracy in America, 1835

  11. GPM Applications Workshop Break-out sessions are specifically set-up to gather input on data products and data access • Weather Forecasting • Water Resources, Agriculture and Food Security • Hydrology and Disaster Response • Ecological Forecasting and Public Health |‌ 12
