NASA and ACT are working under a Cooperative
Agreement that uses NASA data streams and ACT's
WIPE architecture
towards the implementation of
Decision Support Tools for Coastal Management Applications.
This effort directly involves NAVY/NRL-SSC, NOAA-NESDIS/CW/NCDDC, NOAA/NOS,
and NOAA/CSC as team members.
The present application area for the architecture is Harmful
Algal Blooms. A test bed has been implemented (see
diagram). The following table provides data access
links and information on the components that are making up the WIPE
based architecture.

WIPE Fusion Server(s)
The WIPE
architecture provides interactive network access to over 200
hundred dynamic and static data streams. In
particular, e.g. : +NASA/MODIS, +NOAA/GOES,
+NAVY/FNMOC Model Data,
+NAVY/NRL-SSC Products, and +Static Data ,e.g.
Bathymetry, DTED, ...
Connect to:
a)
NOAA/NESDIS/NOS/CSC WIPE Servers at ACT
b)
WIPE Server at NRL-SSC
c) WIPE Server at X-Band Ground Station

DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS
Based on ACT's WIPE-Axons thresholds,
allow to generate in a simple manner network-centric
go/no-go maps for decision makers, with full access to
supporting data.
New logic and thresholds can be added to expand
functionality.
Examples:
+DST
Axon (evolving example)
+Weather Reason Axons |

REACT - Rapid Environmental Assessment
Composition Tools (REACT)
ACT
has extended WIPE capabilities with a client
application that works in all the key operating systems and
graphical user interfaces. The end-user is exposed to
four key functional tools, i.e.
-
A
development environment,
-
Network
Centric Data
Access
[client-to-server and peer-to-peer]
-
Decision
Support , and
-
Institutional answers.
The
REACT
client is being configured for
NOAA/NOS/CSC to achieve rapid interactive access to:
a) local and remote layers, b)
target
selection/labeling tools,
c) support creation of NOAA's Harmful
Algal Blooms (HAB) related products

Note: The WIPE/REACT server architecture is part of an on-going NASA/REASoN
Cooperative Agreement between NASA and ACT. It is being used to demonstrate network centric data assess
and decision support tools for Coastal Management Applications.
