  1. Developing a Data Management System for NYC’s 1st Green Roof Meteorological Network Lawrence Brazin Jacob Eichenbaum-Pikser Daniel Novak Stuart Gaffin, PhD

  2. Green Roof Benefits Overall • Urban heat island mitigation • Runoff Water • Biodiversity enhancement • Ecological restoration potential

  3. Energy and Water Balance • Energy Balance • Due to the evapotranspiration ability of a green roof the amount of incoming solar radiation that is absorbed as heat can be significantly reduced • Water Balance • Provides an ideal platform to absorb large quantities of water that classically translates into CSO (combined sewage overflow) plaguing Manhattan’s waterways

  4. Basic Layout-RTMC Webpage Green Roof Cross Section Fieldston RTMC Homepage Comparative Surface Temperatures Precipitation Graph Fieldston Middle School RTMC Page

  5. Fieldston Cross-Section

  6. RTMC Site Allows for Data Comparison

  7. Portal to Webpages Research Topics http://www.ccsr.columbia.edu Green Roofs

  8. Summary of Accomplishments • Developed real-time webpages that provide access to current meteorological conditions on and around green roofs at anytime • Created a remote data backup and recovery system that permits analysis of weather data • Streamlined the data communication hardware and software

  9. Future Plans • Provide user-friendly method for uploading data to GISS servers • Analyze incoming data • Oversee Con Edison green roof installation of meteorological tower • Linda Tool-installation and monitoring • Incorporate NYC Met-Net into NCDC (National Climatic Data Center) website

  10. Acknowledgments • Dr. Frank Scalzo • Dr. Stuart Gaffin, Principal Investigator • Shailly Kedia, Computer Whiz • Cassandra Innocent • NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies • New York City Research Initiative
