Highlights AgricultureUnshutData Revolution to Fight Global Hunger USDA-NRCS rangeland scientist Emilio Carrillo uses an unshut data mobile app tabbed LandPKS for sustainable land use management. Every day, people virtually the world use data to make decisions.  When heading out of town, most of us use weather apps to trammels the forecast anywhere in the world surpassing packing our bags.  However, when we travel to far-flung places, we may find ourselves packing supplies from home considering we don’t know what may be misogynist when we arrive.  We have a global, comprehensive, unshut data set that enables weather forecasting, but not something similar for supplies and agriculture? In his first public remarks as throne of USDA, Secretary Sonny Perdue noted that “…we want to make decisions based on facts and evidence,” “we want to be data-driven,” and “I need good data, I need good sound science to make decisions on…” USDA recognizes that farmers, ranchers, and consumers unwrinkled – use data daily, from deciding when to plant, harvest or sell their crops, when to turn out cattle to pasture, or where to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.  This is why it is important that data be made available, unshut and accessible, to facilitate the best-informed decisions.Virtuallythe world, a movement tabbed the “open data revolution” is under way to make data misogynist for public use.  This movement is expected to generate new insights, momentum largest decision-making, and enable governments, starchy society, and the private sector to largest target interventions and programs. All of this is why the U.S. Government, led by USDA, was a founding partner of the GlobalUnshutData forThreshingand Nutrition (GODAN) initiative and why it continues to support the urging of unshut data for threshing and nutrition virtually the world.  Now with over 500 partners, GODAN continues to support the sharing of available, accessible, and usable unshut data for threshing and nutrition to help ensure global supplies security. If we’re going to feed over 9 billion people by 2050, we need unshut data policies to make decisions based on facts and evidence. This global perspective will help identify data once misogynist and data gaps that exist, and sharpen the focus on how unshut data can foster innovation and collaborative research, creating whole new kinds of growth virtually the world. Introducing New Rural Housing Data from USDA For the first time, USDA’s Rural Housing Service is publicly releasing data wideness every program zone in which the organ provides loans, guarantees, and grants—multifamily housing, single-family housing, and polity facilities.

EIA recently launched a new U.S. Electric System Operating Data tool, which provides hourly electricity operating data, including very and forecast demand, net generation, and the power flowing between electric systems.  The tool features nearly real-time demand data, plus wringer and visualizations of hourly, daily, and weekly electricity supply and demand on a national and regional level for all of the 66 electric system balancing authorities that make up the U.S. electric grid. The information is placid directly from each interconnected electric system on the EIA-930 survey, the first hourly data hodgepodge conducted by a federal statistical agency.  Although electric system balancing authorities tent most of the United States have released voluminous public, nearly real-time information on grid operations since the late 1990s, EIA’s U.S. Electric System Operating Data tool expands the availability of data to the unshortened first-hand 48 states, and makes it misogynist in a resulting format from a single source. Among other applications, the data can be used to provide timely information on electric system recovery without power interruptions and to help evaluate the effects of renewable energy, smart grid, and demand-response programs on power system operations.  The tool allows you to visualize and analyze: Total U.S. and regional electricity demand on an hourly understructure The hourly spritz of electricity between electric systems The wide variety in electric systems’ daily demand shapes and the seasonality of daily demand patterns The extent to which electric systems rely on internal and external sources of supply to meet their demand Potential stress on electric systems when very demand significantly exceeds forecasted demand Total hourly flows of electricity with Canada and Mexico To learn more, watch the U.S. Electric System Operating data tool promotional video, withal with a set of four video tutorials.

Here’s why we’re focusing on this opportunity—and how you can help us.Unshutdata is free, publicly misogynist data that anyone can wangle and use without restrictions. U.S. FederalUnshutData is a strategic national resource. American businesses depend on this government data to optimize their operations, modernize their marketing, and develop new products and services. FederalUnshutData moreover helps guide merchantry investment, foster innovation, modernize employment opportunities, and spur economic growth. The value of FederalUnshutData to the United States has been unscientific at hundreds of billions of dollars. The U.S. Department of Commerce calculates that internet publishing, consulting and market research firms use this data to generate increasingly than $200 billion in revenues each year. Other studies have found that U.S. weather, GPS, Census, and health data support billions increasingly in revenue in other sectors. How do companies use government data to build their business?   Finance companies use a wide variety of data types to evaluate credit, guide investments, and quantify risks, including the risks of lending to individuals or businesses.   Healthcare companies tailor Precision Medicine treatments to individual needs, while others empower patients to find the weightier superintendency at the weightier price by using data on hospitals, medical groups, medicines, and patient outcomes.   Consumer retailers use GPS and weather data to modernize shipping withal supply chains. They moreover use Census data to target their marketing, segregate new merchantry locations, and identify consumer trends.   Transportation and trade companies use Federal data to make transportation increasingly efficient, modernize safety, and facilitate trade.   Geospatial companies use unshut data to build mobile applications, GPS navigation tools, and real-time mapping platforms – all to find population growth trends, reduce road congestion, track flu outbreaks, and modernize disaster response.   The Roundtable onUnshutData for Economic Growth will emphasize how companies create value from and leverage freely misogynist government data. Leaders in government and industry will explore the economic and societal benefits ofUnshutData for American businesses and entrepreneurs. This Roundtable methodology may be unromantic to other topics, for example, how FederalUnshutData improves: Return on investment for taxpayer dollars, and Federal spending U.S. government efficiencies Data-driven government and evidence-based policy We welcome your input.

As the national gazetteer for multibeam bathymetric data, NGDC manages over 15 million nautical miles of ship trackline data from sources worldwide. In 2011, NGDC, in partnership with NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), initiated a new gazetteer for upper resolution data placid with sonars capable of mapping the water column. Water post sonar data are placid on NOAA fishery survey vessels and wonk and international fleets, and are used to assess the physical and biological characteristics of the ocean. Primary uses include 3-D mapping of fish schools and other mid-water marine organisms, assessing biological abundance, species identification, and habitat characterization. These data are moreover useful for evaluating underwater gas seeps, remotely monitoring undersea oil spills, and bathymetry. NGDC is working with scientists at NMFS and the Joint Hydrographic Center to ensure the long-term preservation and world-wide dissemination of these data.
