These measurements will be used to enhance understanding of processes that link the water, energy and carbon cycles, and to extend the capabilities of weather and climate prediction models. SMAP data also will be used to quantify net carbon flux in boreal landscapes and to develop improved flood prediction and drought monitoring capabilities.

Treat Island has the highest tides on the East Coast in the United States. The team come out to the island placing metal panels with different coatings to get covered by sea water twice a day to see how they handle the weathering situations. The team also put up a self-sustaining weather station equipped with solar panels, back-up battery, and video cameras which can send constant observation of the panels to the Hanover, New Hampshire based lab. Treat Island is a one of a kind government controlled property where only the government is allowed to be there.Hurricane Katrina, D'Iberville, Miss., November 14, 2005 -- The shower facilities at the D'Iberville Temporary Apartment Complex (TAC).
