Instrumentation Network Verification Facility - New York City

A Center for the Development and Evaluation
of Response Software and Instrumentation

The Concept:

Choose one or more succinct areas in the metropolitan area and establish a permanent and complete measurement capability. The UAO would be similar to the DOE/ARM program in concept (www.arm.gov).

Applications:

The UAO would be crucial for:

Model evaluation (Are they correct?)

Climate change (Risk and Mitigation)

Evaluation of Emergency Management Plans

Development of Terrorist Interdiction tools

Intensive Operational Periods where many instruments and computational techniques would be evaluated.
