Page 2 Overview  Background  Tools of interest to PA managers TOPS (Terrestrial Observation and Prediction System) Protected Area Archive CBD Sourcebook SERVIR (Regional Visualization and Monitoring System for Mesoamerica) FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System) NatureServe Vista

Page 3 Why is NASA Interested in Biodiversity? 1.Many uses of RS for PA and ecosystem management 2.Lots of data…

Page 4 Why is NASA Interested in Biodiversity? Model predictions 1.Many uses of RS for PA and ecosystem management 2.Lots of data…

Page 5 TOPS: Terrestrial Observation and Prediction System  Provides forecasts, nowcasts, and hindcasts 30 biological and environmental parameters  Help managers Understand current state Detect disturbance Predict consequences of events and activities

Page 6 The TOPS-30 MODIS (8 day and annual products) 1 LAI (Leaf Area Index) 2 FPAR (absorbed PAR) 3 GPP / NPP (Gross / Net Primary Production) 4 LST (Land Surface Temperature) 5 NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) 6 EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index) 7 Landcover (Annual) 8 Albedo 9 Snow 10 Fire Meteorology (Daily) 11 Maximum Temperature 12 Minimum Temperature 13 Rainfall 14 Solar Radiation 15 Dew Point / VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) 16 Degree Days TOPS Ecosystem 17 Snow 18 Soil Moisture 19 Evapotranspiration 20 Stream outflow 21 GPP / NPP 22 LAI / Phenology 23 Vegetation Stress TOPS Forecasts (5 to 180 day) 24 LAI/Phenology 25 Soil Moisture 26 Outflow 27 ET 28 Vegetation Stress 29 Snow 30 GPP / NPP
