Earth-Sun Sciences Systems Components Knowledge Base Fritz Policelli NASA Stennis Space Center Fritz.s.policelli@nasa.gov January 4, 2005
Carbon Management Aviation Air Quality Energy Management Coastal Management Homeland Security Disaster Management Ecological Forecasting Water Management Invasive Species Public Health Agricultural Efficiency NASA Applied Sciences Program • Objective • To expand and accelerate the economic and societal benefits from NASA Earth-Sun science information and technology research results
Earth-Sun Science System Components http://www.asd.ssc.nasa.gov/m2m
Accompanying Print Materials • Three booklets with high-level information on NASA-affiliated systems are in development/distribution • NASA Spacecraft Research Missions • Models & Assimilation Systems • Partner Organization Decision Support Tools • Earth-Sun Science System Components Chart: Current Version 4.85
Purpose • Create and evolve a dynamic inventory of science-quality NASA Earth-Sun Science Systems and Products resulting from science and technology Research and Development • Missions/Sensors/Measurements • Models/Analysis Systems/Assimilations Systems/Model Products • Science, Education, and Technology Infrastructure • Provide the NASA Applied Sciences Program and science community with reference information on NASA products • Provide candidate “Integrated Systems Solutions” for community of practice, including partner organizations with Decision Support Tools
Functions • Gather information on NASA affiliated spacecraft missions, sensors, measurements, models, analysis systems, assimilation systems, model products, and partner decision support tools into a database • Provide a user-friendly, web-based interface for the knowledge base • Evolve updated printed materials (chart, booklets) based on online information • Dynamically update the database and the interface in order to maintain data integrity
Data Gathering • Key sources of information on NASA research results • Primary source for remote sensing systems, sensors, and products is the Internet • Primary source for models is model owners/developers • Secondary source is teleconferences with researchers • Tertiary sources include books, presentations, and periodicals • Initial information gathering • Affiliated NASA researchers (~20,000 !) may access a web page allowing them to submit revisions to the database • Revisions are reviewed prior to entry into the baselined database
Knowledge Base Website • Graphical Interface to the SQL Server Database • Each icon represents a remote sensing system • Clicking on a mission icon will… • Display basic information about the mission • Display a hypertext listing of the different sensors affiliated with that mission • Clicking on a sensor will… • Display basic information about the sensor • Display a hypertext listing of the different products affiliated with that sensor • Clicking on a data product will… • Display basic information about the product
Current State of the Knowledge Base • The Knowledge Base is online and populated: http://www.asd.ssc.nasa.gov/m2m • Populated items include: • Earth-Sun Science Observation Sources • Helio/Geophysical Parameters • Earth-Sun Science Models • Model Outputs/Predictions • Partner Decision Support Tools (preliminary)
Current State of the Knowledge Base • Earth Observation Sources • 92 Spacecraft Missions/ Campaigns/Sensor Networks • 435 Sensors • 348 dynamically linked • 87 heritage/other sensors • 468 Science-Quality research products • 400 mapped to sensors • 68 mapped to Spacecraft Missions • Working Draft Reference Booklet
Current State of the Knowledge Base • Geophysical Parameters • 55 total, based on draft 2004-2014 NASA Earth Science Research Plan • Measurements mapped to geophysical parameters • Will update parameters list when NASA Earth Science Research Plan is signed • Heliophysical parameters to be added
Current State of the Knowledge Base • Earth Science Models • 62 listed on the components chart • 30 populated and available for public access • 20 Earth System Modeling Framework models • Input webpage: • http://www.asd.ssc.nasa.gov/m2m/admin/model_input/models.asp • Example—Mosaic LSM: • http://www.asd.ssc.nasa.gov/m2m/model_report.aspx?model_id=505 • Working Draft Reference Booklet
Current State of the Knowledge Base • Model Outputs/Predictions • Based on draft 2004-2014 NASA Earth Science Research Plan • Knowledge Base also contains list of specific model products (e.g. forecast of soil moisture)
Current State of the Knowledge Base • Decision Support Tools • Types • Management Tools, Policy Tools • Decision Support Systems, Scenario Assessment Tools • 28 Decision Support Tools on chart • Candidate Integrated System Solution Configurations (“Zeroth Order”) • http://www.asd.ssc.nasa.gov/m2m/powerpoints/management%20decision%20support%20tools/air_quality.ppt • Updated (“First Order”) Set of Integrated System Solutions for each tool is in development • Prototype Tool • http://www.asd.ssc.nasa.gov/m2m/admin/dst_input/dst_edit.asp?dst_action=edit&dst_id=78 • Working Draft Reference Booklet
Current State of the Knowledge Base • Focus for Development • Contacting Model Owners/Developers to obtain reference information (particularly input and output) • Populate Knowledge Base with information on Sun-Solar System Research assets and products • Contacting Decision Support Tool Owner/Operators to obtain reference information (particularly input and outcome/benefit) • Linking the research products as relevant inputs to Decision Support Tools • Integrate Knowledge Base with the METIS Enterprise Architecture Tool
Current State of the Knowledge Base • Also in work… • Continuous collection and updating of NASA products • Appropriate links for “technical infrastructure” sections of chart
Future Mapping of the Knowledge Base • Connections will be investigated between NASA assets/ capabilities and: • Partner Organization Decision Support Tool requirements • Partner agency operational requirements (initially NOAA) • National/International requirements (IWGEO/GEO)
