Development, Implementation, and Analysis of an Environmental Simulation Information Reference Library and Archive (ESIRLA)

Abstract

As part of the Environmental Effects for Distributed Interactive Simulations (E2DIS) Project, Science and Technology Corp. (STC) conducted a survey of the DoD environmental science community to identify cloud modeling and other environmental capabilities that support or could potentially support military modeling and simulation (M&S) efforts. STC also surveyed the DoD M&S community to determine its requirements for environmental data and models of environmental effects. The resulting data were stored in a PC-based relational database. STC organized and conducted two tri-service Cloud Impacts on DoD Operations and Systems (CIDOS) conferences to facilitate the exchange of information on cloud modeling techniques and applications for the benefit of the DoD environmental science community. STC determined the detailed requirements for weather effects products and decision aids for specific Air Force operational electro-optical systems.
