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
