SERVIR Concept - 2003

• Meeting of Environmental Ministers
• Lack of Access to Satellite Data
• Disparate Data Source
• Lack of Integration of In Situ Datasets
• Variety of Thematic Needs in Region
• Fire Detection
• Land Cover/Land Use
• Forest Monitoring
• Red Tides
• Climate Change
• Short Term Weather

• Drought Monitoring
• Carbon Flux
• Hot Spot Monitoring
• Disaster Mitigation
• Urban Studies

Met products such as MM5 (left), WRF, and SPoRT
model outputs, along with GOES imagery (above),
provide a continuous support mechanism for
decision makers.
