Notes

1 See also Section III; PnET Model Development for High School Classroom Use.

2 For PnET we discuss recent work on hyper-spectral data since its role will be important in regional models and it has not been highlighted in previous Reports. See also end of Section I. 1.

3 Cited earlier work will be found in previous Reports.

4 See also Section I. 3. below.

5 Support also in part by: Local Validation of Global Estimates of Biosphere Properties: A Synthesis of Scaling Methods and Results Across Several Major Biomes. Martin and Aber (NASA/NSF through 10/97).

6 Aber and Martin are also on the Lewis science team: High Spectral Resolution Remote Sensing of Foliar Chemistry and Species Composition: An Analysis of Lewis HSI Data for Forest and Agricultural Applications. Martin and Aber (NASA).

9 This work on the EOS grant is joint with another NASA grant: A Remote Sensing, Field and Modelling Analysis of the White Mountain National Forest. Martin, Hallett, Ollinger and Smith (TECO/NASA).

10 AVIRIS data was also collected on 5 July 1995.

11 In a closely associated effort, we should mention the work supported by another NASA grant: Method Comparison for the Estimation of Foliar Chemistry from High Spectral Resolution Visible and Near Infrared Data. Martin, Aber, Wessman, Goetz, Clark, Yoder and Johnson (NASA, through 2/97). This grant funds a follow-up on the Accelerated Canopy Chemistry Program (ACCP) in which participants from that program are more rigorously testing methods/algorithms developed in the ACCP on common datasets. Also included in this effort is the development of an ACCP data archive to be available through the ORNL-DAAC and on CD-ROM. A 2-day meeting was held in the summer of 1996 to determine the focus of the methods comparison, and the results of the method comparison will be pulled together into a final manuscript over the next several months.

12 See also Section III, Narrow-band Imaging Video Camera, for related material.

13 We have a prototyping effort with HAIS to pursue this capability of providing GIS functionality over the web.

14 For which we have received additional NASA support

15 We note that Co-Investigator Rock has four Ph.D. students currently working on research projects under his direction. Each student is required to generate, in addition to the main topic of the research effort, a K-12th grade educational outreach component based on specific aspects of the research. we are working to extend this approach throughout our IDS team.
