Machine Learning and ocean variables for improved predictions of water availability in the US
SBC: SALIENT PREDICTIONS INC Topic: 94Salient Predictions Inc. proposes to develop new technology for accurate subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) water availability forecasts so that communities may manage water resources in preparation for hazardous events like floods and droughts. Current hydrological models face challenges related to data inputs, as climate change has been presenting weather patterns atypical from historical data. Witho ...

Smokesonde: Low cost in-situ sampling of smoke and convective storm intensity supporting fire weather and incident meteorology
SBC: YANKEE ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 91We propose to develop in-situ low cost sensors to support fire meteorology for wildland fire emergency response, by blanketing the fire area with real time measurements. Sensors can be air-deployed to provide vertical atmospheric measurement profiles or hand-emplaced for augmenting existing surface fire weather stations. Each telemeters precision measurements of air temperature, solar radiation, i ...

Optimize Recognition Algorithms and Classifiers by Learning to Explore (ORACLE)
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: OSD221003Commercial imaging satellites capture the majority of the planet’s surface every day, generating millions of images. Searching such data for specific objects of interest is extremely difficult to do manually without automated computer image analytics. NGA is seeking a novel scientific formalism and tools for training overhead image detectors on rare and new objects of interest, for which large, ...

Novel probes for real time monitoring of dissolved gases and their isotopologues in aquatic ecosystems
SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC Topic: 93Ocean ecosystems are critical to the regulation of Earth’s climate and biodiversity, while also hosting a range of direct and indirect benefits to people, from food supply to recreation. Coastal ocean systems are dynamic regions especially rich in diverse biological and geochemical interactions. However, major gaps exist in our knowledge of the primary biogeochemical processes and the factors re ...

Developing and testing ropeless fishing gear with inshore lobstermen while focusing on speed, cost, and safety
SBC: LOBSTERLIFT LLC Topic: 93LobsterLift is a ropeless fishing device that will enable lobstermen to continue to use their lobster trap- fishing gear without requiring the traditional vertical ropes that endanger the North Atlantic right whale (NARW), a species on the brink of extinction. We are seeking a 6-month research grant for $150,000 that will enable LobsterLift LLC to conduct feasibility research, product development, ...

Measuring Stormwater Overflow with Synthetic Aperture Radar
SBC: WOLVERINE RADAR COMPANY Topic: 93Many municipalities in the United States have begun to use impermeability measurements to incentivize storm water retention as part of the architectural and landscaping design process. These measurements are performed through analysis of high-resolution aerial photography and updated on an annual or semi-annual basis. The practice of using high resolution aerial or even satellite photography is pr ...
