Applications to Decision Making: Thematic Areas
Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET)
Objectives•Provide end-users with professional technical workshops•Build long term partnerships with communities and institutions in the public and private sectors.
Online and hands-on courses:• Who: policy makers, environmental managers, modelers and other professionals in the public and private sectors.
Where: U.S. and internationally
• When: throughout the year.
• Do NOT require prior remote- sensing background.• Presentations and guided computer exercises and case studies on how to access, interpret and use NASA satellite images for decision-support.
Hands on Training
ARSET Trainings Include:Remote Sensing and Numerical Modeling Data
Satellite Data
In Situ Data
NumericalModels
Basic in person course • For individuals and institutions new to remote sensing
Basic online courses • Provide background material
in preparation for in person trainings
Advanced in person and online courses
• Focused on a specific application/problem: for example monitoring fire and smoke in the western US (summer 2012), sever flooding in Mozambique (January 2013).
• Requires basic online or in person course.
ARSET Training Activities
• Advertise via list-serv and Webpage• Collaborate with NASA Applied Science PIs• Collaborate with NASA Data Centers

What is Remote Sensing?Instruments/sensors and types
Types of satellite orbit around the earth
Spatial and Temporal Resolutions and Coverage
Overview of parameters available from NASA
Geophysical quantities derived from satellite measurements
quality and accuracy of the derived quantities
availability, access, format
applications and usage
Basic Training
End-users requested and designed for their needs
Specific data parameters and applications
Learn: > details of data formats, download, analysis tools > how to incorporate in Decision Support Tools
> Computer-based case studies
Advanced Training
Examples:
Using AIRS CO to Track Forest Fire Plumes
Flood Monitoring over Mozambique
