Establishment of the University of Nebraska Airborne Remote Sensing Facility

该合同将为内布拉斯加大学建立一个机载遥感设施。为购买一架飞机提供了资金，该飞机将进行改装，以携带最近获得的最先进的遥感仪器和有关的计算设备。该大学将提供飞机的维护，并承诺三年的资金支持三名研究生，他们将在这三年里进行与这个新设施相关的研究。内布拉斯加大学现有的、受人尊敬的研究和教育项目是围绕卫星遥感数据信息建立的，通过使用这个新设施，这些信息将得到显著增强。遥感设备的机载定位将允许校准和控制遥感测量，这是目前地面系统无法做到的。遥感信息与内布拉斯加州以农村为主的经济的许多方面有关。该设施将为从事全球气候、洪水测绘、水资源监测、植被覆盖清单、污染监测和土地利用等领域研究的各种研究人员提供服务

9977801NARAYANANThis award will establish an Airborne Remote Sensing Facility for the University of Nebraska. Funds are provided for the purchase of an aircraft that will be modified to carry recently acquired state-of-the art remote sensing instrumentation and related computing equipment. The university will provide for the upkeep of the aircraft and has committed three years of funding to support three graduate students in each of those years who will be conducting research associated with this new facility. The University of Nebraska has existing, well-respected research and education programs built around information from satellite remote sensing data that will be markedly enhanced by access to this new facility. Airborne positioning of remote sensing equipment will allow calibrated and controlled remote sensing measurements not currently possible with ground-based systems. Remote sensing information is relevant to many aspects of Nebraska's largely rural economy. This facility will serve a broad diversity of researchers conducting research in such areas as Global Climate, Flood Mapping, Water Resource Monitoring, Vegetation Cover Inventories, Pollution Monitoring, and Land Use
