Summary of three presentations• GeoViQua – Eva Sevillano Marco

– The man-made winter flood of rice fields in Spain to create temporary artificial wetland

– Location, duration, and type of flood needed for government subsidy. Field survey to map the flood is very expensive

– Earth observation data (Landsat ETM) are used to map the winter flood through the supervised and unsupervised classifications.

• PYXIS WorldView Client- Perry Peterson (video presentation)– https://vimeo.com/41473492– Shows how the client supports various GEOSS SBA scenario demos in

the past AIPs• NCPMS – Liping Di

– Remote sensing based national crop condition and progress monitoring for entire U.S. Extensible for the whole globe

– Provide both condition (up to daily at 250 meter resolution) and progress.

– OGC service interfaces (WMS, WCS, WPS) for data and services

Scenario development• Multiple scenario ideas were discussed but we didn’t

have enough time to develop a complete scenario.– The most concrete one is the EO-based crop condition

monitoring to support government decision making– Multiple sites (e.g., Sub-Sahara Africa, China-spring wheat,

U.S.- Summer Corn)– Real-time tasking of EO-1 satellite by NASA for validation

and detail situation analysis, Remote sensing-based 250 meter-resolution crop condition by GMU and CAAS(?), Crop, soil, population information provided by CIESIN, PYXIS client for visualization and demo. Integrate other contributions..

– Show ability to integrate multiple EO data and Social economic data for near real time monitoring to support decision making

Work Plan development

• Decide whether to establish Ag WG– Yes. Chair: Prof. Liping Di (GMU). Co-Chair to be selected.

• Engage w/GEO stakeholders, especially Ag SBA regarding requirements & problems

• Schedule and milestones for AIP-5 yet to be developed.• Telecon is needed for coordinating the Ag SBA AIP-5 work

– Bi-weekly or Monthly?
