Application of NASA SPoRT-Land Information System (SPoRT-LIS) Soil Moisture Data for Drought

This is event is available for participation on an ongoing basis
workshop

This training is focused on the introduction of the NASA Land Information System (LIS) output of soil moisture at various depths for drought analysis and monitoring. As a result of the NASA Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center (SPoRT) program and its research-to-operations (R2O) work, this training will demonstrate how LIS output of soil moisture from a land surface model (LSM) can be included in traditional drought monitoring applications.

NOAA Upgrades Model to Improve Storm Surge Forecasting

P-surge 3.0

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has recently upgraded its Probabilistic Storm Surge (P-Surge) model ahead of 2023 Hurricane Season beginning on June 1. The P-Surge is the primary model for predicting storm surge associated with high-impact weather, such as hurricanes and tropical storms. The version 3.0 advances storm surge modeling and forecasting for the continental United States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

The Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) was set up by the General Assembly in 1959 to govern the exploration and use of space for the benefit of all humanity: for peace, security and development. The Committee was tasked with reviewing international cooperation in peaceful uses of outer space, studying space-related activities that could be undertaken by the United Nations, encouraging space research programmes, and studying legal problems arising from the exploration of outer space.
