Several presentations providing state-of-the-art developments in water cycle applications will be offered at the ESIP summer meeting. Mike Brewer will offer a brief overview of new developments with the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS).
One of the goals of ESIP, "making data matter," will be addressed from a practical point of view in this session. Two efforts are underway to attempt to harness and synthesize data collections to provide the capability to meet application needs. One of these efforts is the National Science Foundation-sponsored CUAHSI (Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science) and the other is the NASA-sponsored WaterNet project.
Dr. Michael Piasecki (Drexel) is being scheduled to offer a presentation on CUAHSI's approach; Will Pozzi and Balazs Fekete will offer a short presentation on the WaterNet approach. CUASHI is attempting to develop web services to access multiple agency data collections in order to integrate data to construct water budgets for Hydrological Observatories (and researchers). WaterNet is attempting to deploy Semantic Web smart query techniques to improve the ability to access and utilize multiple agency data collections.
The latter two presentations are designed to illustrate how these new systems will be nested with applications.
Will Pozzi and Dr. Phil Yang (presentation of Yang, Pozzi, and Myra Bambacus(NASA/GSFC GIO) will give a brief presentation illustrating the new EIE-WaterNet Water Portal, illustrating some of its capabilites.
Integrated Earth Observation System
The US contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) is the Integrated Earth Observation System (IEOS). The Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) 10-Year Implementation Plan (as adopted 16 February 2005) includes the goal: "Water-related issues addressed by GEOSS will include: precipitation; soil moisture; streamflow; lake and reservoir levels; snow cover; glaciers and ice; evaporation and transpiration; groundwater; and water quality and water use. GEOSS implementation will improve integrated water resource management by bringing together observations, prediction, and decision support systems and by creating better linkages to climate and other data."
The National Academy of Sciences "Earth Science and Applications from Space: National Imperatives for the Next Decade and Beyond" (Decadal Survey) concludes: "End-to-End Information-System Needs Lead responsibility for observing various aspects of the water cycle crosses NASA, NOAA, USGS, and USDA. Building and sustaining integrated hydrologic data sets for the United States will require coordination among those agencies that, although technologically feasible, does not yet exist--notwithstanding efforts such as those of CUAHSI "WaterOneFlow" web services.
