ACT in Action

This image shows chlorophyll anomaly observations in the Gulf of Mexico over a month. This image was created by ACT-REACT™ which fused raw data from NOAA CoastWatch with a chlorophyll anomaly product that was derived by an ACT WIPE™ server.

ACT is actively supporting a joint NAVY (NRL), NASA and NOAA environmental analysis initiative. ACT provided the geospatial data management and analytic architecture to support this environmental assessment project. <Details>

This image replays an ACT-REACT™ user zooming in on MARS at high latitude to a location with a MRO hyper-spectral CRISM observation. In the process ACT-REACT™ fuses multiple data sets to guide the users’ navigation and interpretation process.

The CRISM team is using ACT’s PIPE™ and ACT-REACT™ software to compile a global map of Mars at approximately 200 meters (660 feet) per pixel. The map is acquired as thousands of individual strips, each about 10 kilometers (6 miles) wide. Over the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's two-year primary science phase, these mapping strips will cover nearly the entire planet, in a manner similar to covering a beach ball with many thousands of pieces of string – <Image> (note: very large, animated gif image)

This animated gif is automatically generated by an ACT WIPE™ server every 30 minutes. The server accesses recent data from NOAA/GOES satellite and fuses it with terrain elevation and bathymetry data (ocean depth) and automatically generates a new animated .gif file. <Larger Image>.

Interactive Resources (WIPE™/PIPE™)

This image shows satellite data from GOES overlaid on a terrain elevation map. This html image was produced by ACT’s WIPE™ server on the fly. To update the GOES data click the image. WIPE™ will produce an html interface where users can select the data and the view via drop down menus. WIPE™ will then access the GOES data and serve up the selected html image.
