Prelude to EGT/EOP DMA Supporting IOOS
* Draft Currently in Review
2005 Environmental Data Management Report Assessment Summary*
Highlights of Current EGT IOOS Activities – Environmental Research Division/SWFSC
Data integration to support ecosystem based management
Provide consistent, easy to use formats complying with recognized standards (IOOS)
IOOS
Fisheries Management, CRMP, Habitat, EOP, ERP, etc
Integration of Environmental/Biological Data for Ecosystem Observation and Management
Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) Data Management
CoRIS is a mature example of a NOAA IOOS activity that fully incorporates metadata and data discovery, data transport, data archive and access, user outreach, system engineering, technology refreshment, and the biological data, i.e., the DMAC Appendices (2005)
EOP DM Support Across Mission Goals – Local Warnings and Forecast Program, National Data Buoy Center
Voluntary Observing Ship Program
• DM System replaces Oracle DB
• WWW Browser Client
• Models PMO activities- more actively tracks ship visits, met equipment,& access controls facilitating multiple users (one to many ships)
• More accurate reporting
• Integrates ship observation metadata (formerly separate process)
• Integrates data feeds USCG and Lloyds of London
• Open source SW componentsLocal Warnings and Forecast
Middleware Technology provides:- Data download capability from source provider to user’s desktop including data
translation (format, units)- Provides access to a virtual database of coastal data sets- Data aggregation capability provides transform and transport of data in a single file
Data Access Technology
Additional Gateways
•EO-1 Hyperion Imagery
• LOSCO (La Oil Spill Coordinators Office)
• GoMOOS
• TOWAN (Tactical Oceanography Wide Area Network- Naval Research Lab)
• SEAMAP (SE Mapping Assessment Program)
• COMPS (Coastal Ocean Monitoring and Prediction System)
• Belle Baruch (USC)
NMSP West Coast Observation (WCO) Project
Partners: PISCO, SIMoN, NODC, and NCDDC
Automated process by which native ASCII data is converted to NetCDF (COARDS) profile. EML metadata records converted to FGDC and transferred to NODC and posted to multiple search locations.
Data Access Webapp searches the available data on a OPeNDAP server. Create statistics, plots, and download data
CRMP, Habitat, EOP, ERP, Corals, & Fisheries Management
OPeNDAP Data Sets Implemented by NODC
Interagency EOP DM Support – NESDIS MOA with Mississippi DMR
• Web and GIS design
• MODIS imagery
• S gradients correlated with turbidity (250M)
• Vibrio model forecast (T, S, turbidity)
• Solar radiation, cloud cover, T, S, precip, and obs for fecal coliform die-off rate
• ID and classify sediment fallout areas
• Vegetative health indexPartners: NASA ESD, NRL, NOAA, EPA GOMP, and MS DMR
Habitat, Fisheries Management, CRMP, Corals, EOP, & ERP
EOP NMFS Hypoxia Website 05 Season
• ArcIMS upgrade from FY04
•Links to SEAMAP, NMFS, NCDDC, CoastWatch, & RV Oregon II, LUMCON
• MODIS 7 Day composite
• Extract ship flow-through data, e.g., turbidity, S, & Chl
• DO contour maps
Habitat, ERP, EOP, CRMP, & Fisheries Management
NCOM surface current and
elevation
NCOM surface current speed and
direction
NCOM Surface temperature and
current
EOP DMA for Modeling – Global Navy Coastal Ocean Model (G-NCOM) Dissemination
• Under evaluation by modelers at UM. Provides boundary conditions for coastal models SE USA and Gulf of Alaska (UW, TAMU, UNC, & WH)
• Supports USCG Search and Rescue Ops (SAROP). Surface current fields are input to the Environmental Data Server (EDS) at USCG SAROPS
Fisheries Management, Habitat, Corals, CRMP, ERP, and EOP
NESDIS EOP personnel assigned to IOOS Related Data Management Activities
• NESDIS IOOS IPA- Director of USM Hydrographic Research Center, Governance Board of the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS)- Regional Association
• DMIT Committee
• NOAA Enterprise GIS Working Group
• Co-Chair IOOS DMAC Expert Team for Metadata
• EPA National Water Quality Monitoring Network Report
(US Ocean Action Plan)
• QARTOD
• NOAA DMAC Coordinator
• Ocean.US DMAC Specialist
EOP FY2008 PBA Best Program Alternative – Integrated Ecosystem Data Management
“This proposal recommends that the GOM serve as a regional demonstration for a Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) in which to implement and build off existing integration efforts.” FY08 EOP PBA
• Standard Metadata system needs
• Regional/National Data Archive System
• Technology Refreshment
• Data Information System Interoperability
• Information access & dissemination
• S&T IT architecture upgrade and maintenance
EOP IOOS Data Management Challenges• Integrate and implement the IOOS DMAC Plan into a “NOAA Comprehensive Data Management Plan” (2005 Environmental Data Management Report- in draft review)
• Regional Associations (IOOS-RA) are still organizing
- Loosely defined
- Funding is inconsistent
- Data management efforts are not focused on national level archival, access, and retrieval
• Few centralized IOOS data access points- still individual agency, laboratory, project, and/or investigators• Expand interoperable access of data from client applications (OPenDAP)• Coordinate data management activities within the 9 EOP “Observing Systems/Observations” in the GOM LME (regional approach)
