NASA’s SERVIR Gulf of Mexico Project

Dr. Gary Jedlovec from NASA/MSFC Earth Science Office presents SERVIR's cross-cutting solution network for the Gulf of Mexico region. Leveraging unique NASA resources, the project demonstrates collaborative research and transitional capabilities to address societal benefit areas, including weather forecasting, natural disasters, agriculture, human health, and ecological forecasts. SERVIR integrates observational and GIS data for rapid prototype development, supporting decision-making tools for disaster relief and ecological forecasting in Mesoamerica.

Presentation Transcript

  1. NASA’s SERVIR Gulf of Mexico Project An Overview Dr. Gary Jedlovec, NASA/MSFC Earth Science Office Mission: To provide a cross cutting solution network and rapid prototyping capability for the Gulf of Mexico region, in order to demonstrate substantial, collaborative, multi-agency research and transitional capabilities using unique NASA resources to address regional problems in societal benefit areas. Presentation at Joint NASA / NWS SPoRT SOO Workshop -- July 11-13, 2006

  2. MODIS Harvesting, Integration, and Demonstration • Integrated solution network – • harvest science results to identify potential solutions to Earth science problems • Rapid prototype capability – • link existing data, proven products, and models • to address specific end user problem and decision • support tools • SPoRT-like capability • Selected USGEO societal benefit areas - • weather forecastingnatural disasters • agriculture/forestry human health ecological forecasts • water resources energy resources ocean resources • climate variability / change

  3. RadarSat data indicating flooded regions (in red) from Hurricane Stan in Guatemala supports relief efforts Rapid prototype development in Huntsville, Alabama Disaster agencies integrate relief information with GIS/flooding data Decision support systems at CATHALAC City of Knowledge, Panama SERVIR Ecological / Disaster Forecasting in Mesoamerica Integration of observational and GIS data bases Historical and real-time data available to end users Links a variety of end users / problems link

  4. Overview / Interactions

  5. Relevance to WFOs? • Broadened responsibly of WFOs into additional societal benefit areas (e.g., coastal and marine forecasts, natural disasters, water/energy impacts) • Access to additional data and resources • unique high resolution data sets (e.g., vegetation health, coastal datasets {land and ocean}) • land and ocean models (evaporation, ocean wind/waves) • Enhanced partner base with common problems • Opportunity for partnering / collaboration
