IN42B:
Near-Real-Time/Low-Latency Data for Earth Science and Space Weather Applications I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 60677

Session Description:
Near real time/low latency data from satellite, airborne (including uninhabited aerial vehicles-UAVs), and surface sensors are transforming existing end-user applications and spawning new ones. These applications demonstrate the utility of timely data in diverse Earth and space science disciplines including weather prediction, river forecasting, natural and human-caused hazards, public health, agriculture, marine, early warning, and space weather applications. In addition to traditional computer analyses, the use of apps for smartphones and tablets presents an opportunity to improve and expand the timely usage of data products and services. This session will discuss the benefit of near real time/low latency scientific or social media data, discuss innovative real time analysis approaches, decrease data delivery latency, or identify gaps in current capabilities.
