HyDis: Hydrologic Data and Information System Prof. Sudha Ram Dongwon Lee Yousab Hwang Vijay Khatri Department of Management Information Systems Sponsor: NASA
Motivation • Huge amounts of hydrology-related data are collected by diverse agencies: • USGS, USDA, EPA, NOAA, various NASA EOSDIS and DAACs • Data collected can help understand land-surface processes
Challenges • Modern hydrologic and water resource research scientists need: • Access to widely distributed data • To perform transformations and manipulation of data to assemble in appropriate format • To be familiarized with varied format and structure of each provider • To perform pre-processing of data • Information about atmospheric and terrestrial components of earth system at several spatial and temporal resolutions
Objectives • Make comprehensive hydrologic and water resources data products and services available to scientists • Tailor information to user’s needs
Functions of HyDis Understand query made by user Locate the most suitable data sets Retrieve data Reformat and present data
HyDis Components Science Data Management Module (SDMM) Account for the spatial relationships between various data products Resource Discovery Module (RDM) Perform goal oriented discoveries • Semantic Model • Resource Discovery Agents Distributed Digital Resources (DDR) Existing and anticipated databases and products • Satellite Remote Sensing Data • Airborne Remote Sensing Data • Land Surface Data • Hydrologic/ Meteorological Networks Data
Benefits • Provide data tailored to individual needs of scientists • Develop information management framework that is adaptive to remote sensing products • Intelligent information retrieval
Partners • Department of Management Information Systems • Department of Hydrology and Water Resources • NASA • NOAA-GCIP • NOAA-NWS • USGS • NSF
