Public Health Cluster Presentation Notes
Combining Modeling Using Earth Observation Data to Improve Public Health Decisions
- PHAiRS Team
- CCSP Workshop
- Climate Science in Support of Decision Making
PHAiRS team deals with dust in the southwest
Public Health Applications in Remote Sensing (PHAiRS)
- Focus on SW, dust storms, respiratory diseases, and syndromic surveillance
- 3 Thrusts
- Assimilate EO data into DREAM (dust generation model) as part of NCEP/Eta forecasting system (source for most weather models)
- Measure incremental improvements to DREAM outputs as inputs to RSVP/SYRIS
- Create collaborations with public health authorities to validate relationships between dust episodes and respiratory complaints
