DSS Environment for Modeling of Atmospheric Nutrient Deposition
Entry ID: DEMAND

[ Update this Record ]


Summary
Abstract: DSS Environment for Modeling of Atmospheric Nutrient Deposition (DEMAND) is a NASA-funded project utilizes recent NASA Earth Science Research Results (NASA ESRR) to aid in decision making processes related to water quality and nutrient inputs into aquatic ecosystems in coastal and inlands areas of the state of Alabama. Decision support will be aided by hosting a hierarchy of products, derived from relevant NASA ESRR, on the Virtual Alabama (VA) system. The VA system is a Google Earth based system developed by the Alabama Department of Homeland Security (ALDHS) with the express purpose of decision support though sharing of information between different government agencies within the state of Alabama. Figure 1 below illustrates smoke plumes resulting from regional fires as an example of information provided by DEMAND.

End users include the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) and the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP). Personnel from the ADEM represent the State of Alabama in the Water Quality and Nutrients Priority Issue Teams (PIT) of the Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA). The MBNEP, administered and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), developed the Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (CCMP) for conservation of the Mobile Bay Estuary.
