Beschreibung
The combined observational power of the multiple earth observing satellites is currently not being harnessed holistically to produce more durable societal benefits. We are not able to take complete advantage of the prolific amount of scientific output and remote sensing data that are emerging rapidly from satellite missions and convert them quickly into decision-making products for users. The current application framework we have appears to be an analog one lacking the absorption bandwidth required to handle scientific research and the voluminous (petabyte-scale) satellite data. This book will tackle this question: "How do we change this course and take full advantage of satellite observational capability for a more sustainable, happier and safer future in the coming decades?"

Questions the type of value-added products/information we should provide for resource constrained public and national stakeholder agencies Looks at the optimal business model for society to benefit sustainably from scientific research and satellite observational data to support the operational (recurring) costs Leverages the combined observational power of NASA earth observing satellite missions (current and future) in a synergistic manner to rapidly multiply societal applications Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
