4. The University of Mississippi Geoinformatics Center May 17, 2006 Current Organization Headquarters at Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean (CATHALAC) Test facility at NASA MSFC Other partners: –City of Knowledge –Central American Commission on Environmental and Development (CCAD) –World Bank –others

5. The University of Mississippi Geoinformatics Center May 17, 2006 Current System SERVIR provides: –Imagery and geospatial data –Interactive mapping –Thematic DST’s –3-D visualization of Meso-America

6. The University of Mississippi Geoinformatics Center May 17, 2006 Thematic DST’s Fire Detection – daily MODIS imagery Red-tide detection – daily MODIS and SeaWiFS Climate change – MODIS imagery and MM5 models Land use/land cover change – multiple imagery types, including MODIS, Landsat, and SRTM

7. The University of Mississippi Geoinformatics Center May 17, 2006 Thematic DST’s Weather forecasts – WRF in cooperation with NASA SPoRT Floods – GOES, MODIS and AMSR-E Food security – TRMM precipitation, MODIS NDVI, others Hurricanes – GOES Earthquakes – supported by USGS

8. The University of Mississippi Geoinformatics Center May 17, 2006 Proposed Methods Work with SERVIR staff to evaluate each DST and product Determine order of experiments Evaluate potential of new NASA sensors Develop or acquire experimental data for new sensors Conduct experiments for DST’s selected by SERVIR project staff

9. The University of Mississippi Geoinformatics Center May 17, 2006 Concept of Operations After DST has been selected; –Team will be assembled based on the thematic area –Project plan will be written in consultation with SERVIR staff, –Conduct the experiment –Evaluate the results –Publish the results
