This ""applications"" research project focuses on enhancing the management of multiple important highly migratory pelagic fish species in the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding waters, with particular focus on Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and other highly migratory tunas and billfishes. Our team has developed...

The Pelagic Habitat Analysis Module (PHAM) will provide an advanced information system that will enhance decision support systems currently at agencies managing pelagic fisheries and marine protected areas. PHAM will leverage streams of NASA research products from JPL and integrate this with multivariate datasets in...

This proposal outlines a partnership between NOAA and NASA to promote the use of NASA Earth science research results within NOAA decision support systems in order to improve the Nation¿s environmental forecasts that protect public health, life and property. This NOAA-NASA collaborative project will enable...

NOAA develops decision support systems to aid homeland security decision makers in the event that harmful toxic materials are released to the atmosphere. Specifically, NWS Forecast Offices and the NWS-NCEP Hydro-meteorological Prediction Center provide dispersion model forecasts driven by NCEP Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models...

Floods and associated rainfall-driven landslides account for the largest number of natural disasters and affect more people than any other types of natural disasters around the world. U.S. and international agencies and non-governmental organizations require accurate quantitative information about the occurrence (and near-term risk) of...

The project goal is to provide improved real-time ocean surface current and wind observations as well as ocean circulation model forecasts with error estimates in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. The proposed work will enhance the input into coastal management Decision Support Tools (DSTs) used by...

Mapping the onset and severity of drought is of critical national importance. The Western Governor's Association, in proposing a National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), has recognized the U.S. and North American Drought Monitors (USDM; NADM) as important tools for minimizing drought impacts, yet both...

This proposed work is intended to facilitate important collaborative interaction among Universities Space Research Association (USRA), NASA, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the University of Veracruz in Mexico. The latter three agencies were recently...

Emerging infectious diseases are increasingly a global and regional security issue with the capacity to have serious human health and economic impacts, and to harm U.S. interests abroad by destabilizing key institutions. Through the integration of NASA Earth Science results into the DoD-Global Emerging Infectious...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting public health through development and enforcement of environmental standards. EPA's strategic plan defines 'Clean Air and Global Climate Change' as one of their five primary goals. It is pursuing this goal with the help of...
