First Phase of VAccess has been acomplished, the second phase will start on Sep.19, 2002

Successes of the first year are being enhanced with significant results that include:

  1. Populating VAccess databases with data sets from Landat 7, MODIS, ASTER, TRMM, and SPOT panchromatic images
  2. Posting of TRMM datasets
  3. FTP site access
  4. Testing MODIS vegetation indices products created for Virginia users including 1km and 8-day Leaf Area Index, (LAI), and
  5. Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR).
  6. AVHRR Land daily tile data for the region, made accessible via the internet
  7. Flood risk models for Northern Virginia hydrology basins using Virginia rain rate measurements and the NOAA River Forecast
  8. Center data flood risk models
  9. Detection of high probability flash flood hazards at traffic intersections using GMU developed algorithms and morphometric analysis – (Department of Emergency Management expressed interest)
  10. Automated ordering analyses (correcting model flow directions) for stream networks saving manual effort for in situ data collection
  11. Collaborations on issue-oriented activities among the several VAccess organizations, such as a geo-coded address database for
  12. Fairfax County ingested into an ArcView database – schools, hospitals, elderly and child-care facilities locations
  13. In-service, hands-on training workshop for agricultural extension agents on GIS and GPS
  14. Ready for testing on line GIS/RS tutorial (geared for decision-makers and policy regulators).
  15. Installation of the AVHRR download station
  16. Near completion of a JMU Shenandoah Valley 3-D virtual environment fly-by prototype
  17. WebGIS-based data dissemination system, prototyped for NASA facilities in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed area, aimed at providing environmental support for federal regulation compliance.
  18. Pollution runoff detection (animal feedlot as a source) using an Orion and UVA faculty/student-built instrument
