- Description
- This research will allow for collaborating, with NASA, in research on thedevelopment of a prototype water supply and agriculture management system that wouldintegrate NASA information products and models for water management decisions of the SanJoaquin River watershed in California and potentially scalable to other regions of theU.S. The research should examine existing NASA science data products and models,including Landsat sensors' and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer'sobservations of crop canopy conditions, sources of precipitation data and hydrologicaland surface energy models and expand upon the currently operating Terrestrial Observationand Prediction System (TOPS) at NASA Ames Research Center. CSUMB possesses the unique capabilities required to perform the research described abovethat include: full knowledge of the NASA Terrestrial Observation and Prediction System(TOPS) and the ability to integrate new models and software libraries in TOPS to produceestimates of evapotranspiration and soil water balance for the San Joaquin Valley formultiple crop types; the ability to integrate observations of crop condition fromsatellites including Landsat, Terra and Aqua and implementation of near-real-timeatmospheric correction and processing routines for Landsat data; the ability to installwireless sensor networks for monitoring of soil moisture and weather conditions andintegrate observations from wireless sensor networks with TOPS; existing partnershipswith agricultural producers and the US Department of Agriculture, California Departmentof Water Resources, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Bureau ofReclamation.
