1. Global Agricultural Monitoring GLAM Team Curt A. Reynolds (FAS) Edwin Pak, Amir Majedi, Jenn Small, Assaf Anyamba, & Compton Tucker (GSFC) FEWS NET Science Meeting October 2-3, 2012 University of California, Santa Barbara Agricultural Drought: New Directions in Risk Assessment, Monitoring, & Forecasting

2. GLAM Overview  Second generation MODIS-based agricultural system to support FAS monitoring activities  Successor to the Pekko system (@ UMD) – proof of concept...  Improvements – wall to wall global coverage, rapid query, & simplicity  Currently classified as “Beta” but operational version – testing different component technologies, architecture and data base  Future improvements to follow when VIIRS data operationally ingested  Includes:  NRT production -- therefore operational  Two processing nodes set up (glam0 for USDA/FAS/IPAD, glam1 as fail-safe/other agency/public system)  Data: provides Terra and Aqua data (NDVI, NDWI)  GUI  Data query and plotting by Crop mask and administrative region  Capture AoI /current map view with visible crop and shape layers in PNG or JPEG formats.  Keyboard shortcuts to improve data set navigation and querying

14.  Browser Compatibility – on going issue, but big strides have been made. Best viewed on Firefox/Chrome with at least a 1280 x 768 screen resolution - javascript engine outperforms IE. IE supported but slower: if user experiences IE problems, screenshots of the errors should be forwarded to Amir and Ed  Official release to FAS happened when GLAM0 was updated with the reprocessed dataset and running NRT production ~ 6/22: system was declared as an operational prototype.  The public release of the GIMMS GLAM (beta) system is now available and online at http://glam1.gsfc.nasa.gov/ http://glam1.gsfc.nasa.gov/  the public glam1 system runs about 6-12 hours behind the private glam0 system on data production days under normal operations. This is to prioritize and balance system loads to ensure the highest performance for primary users (IPAD/FAS) on the glam0 system.  Choice of MapQuest over Google maps is based on the legal terms of use: Open MapQuest has less red tape and is free to use and share under Created Commons.  For documentation on HTTP retrieval of GIMMS GLAM internal DB files, please see http://glam0.gsfc.nasa.gov/doc/README.http_db. This method may be used to access database tables outside the web browser user interface.  For more information please visit: http://glam1.gsfc.nasa.gov/doc/home.html  User feedback to edwin.w.pak@nasa.gov: Please include error messages, screenshots, and steps to duplicate the problem.edwin.w.pak@nasa.gov Summary
