  8. PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOPS • Inform participants about how to plan to work in the NASA Applied Sciences Program in general and about the next generation of research missions in particular that are becoming available. The workshop is organized into four distinct parts to achieve this. These are: • Part 1: Introduce the Applied Sciences Program functional framework, known as Integrated Systems Solutions (ISS) and the various concepts and definitions needed to prepare a proposal for submission to the next Applied Sciences Program solicitation opportunity, • Part 2: Illustrate the application of the concepts via an example • Part 3: Focus on the next generation (future) NASA missions and their non-traditional flavor (e.g., CloudSat & CALIPSO) • Part 4: Conduct Q & A period.

  9. GOALS OF THE WORKSHOPS • User Community – Develop a broad applied sciences community-of-practice capable of deriving practical benefit from all NASA science results, • New Missions – Engage the community-of-practice in a dialogue designed to elicit ideas for the Applied Sciences Program to consider in future NASA proposal opportunities, • Proposals – Stimulate the community-of-practice to develop proposals offering new and creative ideas in response to future NASA proposal opportunities for novel approaches in deriving benefit from the missions, models, and geophysical parameters becoming available from these new systems.

  10. PART 1 Understanding the NASA Applied Sciences Program

  11. INTRODUCTION & CONCEPTS:Understanding the NASA Applied Sciences Program • Research Program – How it drives Applied Sciences Program • Research Program – Drivers, research strategy & science themes • Overview of Missions – To be discussed in Part III • Current Assets – Both “applied” and “un-applied” measurements & models • Future Assets – Measure new components (e.g., CALIPSO & CloudSat) • Overview of Measurements (Geophysical parameters) • Overview of Models • Applied Sciences Program – How does this program work? • Architectural Framework – The big picture– A lofty view • Program Components – Where you fit in! – Down One Level of Detail • Solutions Networks • Integrated Systems Solutions • Rapid Prototyping Capability & Knowledge Base • Applied Sciences Program – ISS Proposal Line of Sight

  12. Examine the Earth Science Program to Understand the NASA Applied Sciences Program The “VALUE CHAIN” concept is an effective way to view the Applied Sciences Program. This is not official NASA policy, but consider that a “VALUE CHAIN” starts with the Earth Science Research Program and ends with the Applied Sciences Program: EARTH SCIENCE RESEARCH PROGRAM > APPLIED SCIENCES PROGRAM To understand the Applied Sciences Program, we have to examine the Earth Science Research Program The Earth Science Research Programwill be presented as a “VALUE CHAIN”from NASA missions and measurements to models. The Applied Sciences Programextends those “VALUE CHAIN” benefits to society by promoting use in DSSs of priority National Applications.

  13. Earth Science Program Drivers The NASA Earth Science Research Program is derivative from national needs and concerns and coincident with global concerns for the continued improvement of life for mankind on this planet.

  14. NASAs RESEARCH PROGRAM NASA’s Earth Science Research Programis developing a scientific understanding of the Earth system and its response to natural and human-induced changes to enable improved prediction capability for climate, weather, and natural hazards. The fundamental research question is: How is the Earth changing and what are the consequences for life on Earth? Variability: How is the global system changing? Forcing: What are the primary forcing’s of the Earth system? Response: How does the Earth system respond to natural and human-induced changes? Consequence: What are the consequences of change in the Earth system for human civilization? Prediction: How well can we predict future changes in the Earth system? NASA is working with 23 science questions posed to answer the one.

  15. The Earth Science Research Program part of the “VALUE” Chain • A simplified construct to view the NASA Research Program shows: • QUESTIONS are defined to answer a part of the scientific puzzle via research and analysis, • MISSIONS are defined to provide essential measurements for research and analysis, • MEASUREMENTS are collected for research and analysis • MODELS are developed from research and analysis. • An evolutionary “VALUE CHAIN” of the Earth Science Research Program at NASA, then, would show: QUESTIONS > MISSIONS > MEASUREMENTS> MODELS • We therefore examine NASA research missions, measurements and models, next.

  22. NASA-RELATED APPLIED RESEARCH LEGACY A major proportion of the NASA-related applied research to date has utilized land remote sensing systems such as Landsat, MODIS, etc. A significant proportion of existing mission measurements and models have not been employed in NASA-related applied research; they remain “Un-Applied” to date. Basically, applied NASA-related research as we know it today is: An Example of What you See Today • Derived from Earth system • science being conducted in • response to those questions, • Develops geophysical • parameters gathered from • land-imaging and • multispectral remote sensing • tools and technologies. Multispectral

  23. NASA-RELATED EMERGING APPLIEDRESEARCH • In keeping with the NASA Earth Science Program objectives to support research designed to answer the 23 science questions: • Some current and future missions measure components of the Earth system not observable from the Landsat- or MODIS-type of sensor. • To date, the majority of the current science results falling in this category remain “Un-Applied.” • To promote deriving societal benefit from these current and future observations and models, future solicitations will emphasize that class of sensors and their scientific results. • Traditional land imaging, multispectral analysis with standard remote sensing tools and technologies will continue to be important. • New proposals, however will be expected to set forth a plan to use both these and the future missions and current “Un-Applied” sensor results in creative ways. • Since NASA science missions have finite lifetimes, the Applied Sciences Program will seek to time its solicitations for proposals to permit: • Proposing prior to launch for projects which apply future missions science results, • Conducting the project to permit deriving societal benefit throughout the mission lifetime.

  24. Take Away for Earth Science Research Program • Works toward national and global science requirements • Science QUESTIONS – Weather, climate & natural hazards • Future MISSIONS – Measure Earth system components currently unobservable • Current MISSIONS - Continue to be important • Program emphasis on “Un-Applied” missions, measurements and models • Landsat- & MODIS-style of missions, measurements and models as appropriate • MEASUREMENTS • MODELS • “VALUE CHAIN” line of sight: QUESTIONS > MISSIONS > MEASUREMENTS> MODELS Next, we see how the Applied Sciences Program extends the value chain.

  25. APPLIED SCIENCES PROGRAM Why does it exist? What is it designed to do? How does it do it? Who may participate? When may they participate? Where can projects be conducted?

  26. Why does The Applied Sciences Program exist? The Applied Sciences Program is working with 12 applications of national priority to address the one question. With limited resources, NASA’s Applied Sciences Program is about forging and adding links for DECISIONS to the science program “VALUE CHAIN” by more rapidly applying research and analysis results for improved decision support in 12 applications of national priority. A reasonable, fundamental applied sciences question is:How can NASA science results be expeditiously used to improve national management and policy decisions for societal benefit? • Significance – • Applicable to all levels of national government • Limit the set of topics to increase the pace– • The potential needs are uncountable • Focus on first tier of national applications • Select 12 priority applications from that set • Work with only 12 themes and provide decision • support needs for them • Benefits to all of society – • The Applied Sciences Program works only with • the first tier of 12 national applications, • Secondary national tier served by those • applications

  27. What is it designed to do? • The Applied Sciences Program is designed to: • Promote the acceptance, utilization, and exploitation of NASA-inspired science results (missions, measurements and models) by improving existing decision support systems that all levels of government use for policy and management decision-making, and • Extend the benefits from the Earth Science Program to society. EARTH SCIENCE RESEARCH PROGRAM > APPLIED SCIENCES PROGRAM and now QUESTIONS> MISSIONS> MEASUREMENTS> MODELS> DECISIONS • NASA routinely promotes transition of DATAto INFORMATION. • The Applied Sciences Program must go beyond this. It is designed to make it possible to convert: • DATAintoINFORMATION, • INFORMATIONinto relevant KNOWLEDGE, and • Relevant KNOWLEDGEinto informed DECISIONS! or DATA> INFORMATION> KNOWLEDGE > DECISIONS

  28. How does it do it? ARCHITECTURAL FRAMEWORK –The big picture The big picture – I have to start somewhere and we are here to talk about the Applied Sciences Program and how it functions, so … let’s look at its scope from a lofty vantage point. The Q&A material (Part IV) has a few slides outlining the basis for developing successful proposals to initiate a discussion about the next Applied Sciences Program call for proposals.

  32. INTEGRATED SYSTEMS SOLUTIONS(Program Architecture Framework) • This is where the Applied Sciences Program extends benefit to the Earth Science Program “VALUE CHAIN” by adding links for DECISIONS : • The primary function of the Applied Sciences Program is to promote the acceptance, utilization, and exploitation of NASA-inspired science results (missions, measurements and models) by improving existing decision support systems at all levels of government use for policy and management decision-making, and extend the benefits from the Earth Science Program to society. This was previously described as: • EARTH SCIENCE RESEARCH PROGRAM > APPLIED SCIENCES PROGRAM • and now • QUESTIONS> MISSIONS> MEASUREMENTS> MODELS> DECISIONS In the following, we illustrate the process employed at the Applied Sciences Program to achieve the desired results. From a high-level point of view, the project architectural framework to do this is known as: Integrated Systems Solutions (linking EARTH SCIENCE RESEARCH with DECISIONS for societal benefit).
