A Network-Based GIS for Support of Rapid Response Environmental Assessment

Abstract

An operational Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) system requires timely access to geospatial information from multiple sensors and platforms. We describe an interactive network-based near real-time image processing system that relies on high speed access to remotely stored data and processing power. The oceanographic and atmospheric applications of spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and the various algorithms that are under development for extracting geophysical products from the imager will also be discussed briefly.
