70 Member Countries & the European Commission

46 International Organizations

A distributed system of systems Improves coordination of strategies

and observation systems Links all platforms: in situ, aircraft,

and satellite networks Identifies gaps in our global capacity Facilitates exchange of data and

information Improves decision-makers’ abilities

to address pressing policy issues GOOS is the global ocean component

Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS)

IOOS will enable rapid assessments of current states of marine and estuarine systems, and the timely detection and prediction of changes in them, through the continual provision of routine and reliable data and information in forms and at rates specified by the users.

U.S. IOOS is a complex undertaking that is dependent on federal, regional, state, local, academic, & private sector contributions

Provide the right information, in the right format, at the right time, to the right people, to make the right decisions.


NOAA’s IOOSMission

NOAA’s IOOSMission

“Lead the integration of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes observing capabilities, in collaboration with Federal and non-federal partners, to maximize access to data and generation of information products to inform decision making and promote social, economic, and environmental benefit to our nation and the world.” Source: Draft NOAA IOOS

Federal Collaboration to Implement IOOS

Federal Collaboration to Implement IOOS

U.S. Ocean Action Plan Establishes mechanisms for

federal coordination and governance (COP, ICOSRMI, JSOST, SIMOR, etc.)

Identifies goal to build a global earth observation network, including integrated oceans observation

Ocean.US Federal agency coordination

through JSOST-IWGOO (EPA, USGS, MMS, USACOE, ONR, JCS, NOAA, NSF, USCG,MMC, USDA, USARC, FDA, NASA, DOS, DOE, DOT)

How NOAA Is Implementing IOOS

How NOAA Is Implementing IOOS

NOAA IOOS Program Office Established Dedicated to administration of NOAA’s IOOS activities and

collaborating with external partners NOAA first federal agency to do this

Implementing Initial Operating Capability for Data Integration

Integrate 5 of 20 variables (temp., salinity, sea level, surface currents, ocean color)

Four data products (hurricane intensity, coastal inundation, harmful algae blooms, integrated, ecosystem assessments)

WORK PLANWORK PLAN


Where Are We?Where Are We?

Formed NOAA IOOS Program Lead and mange NOAA’s IOOS efforts;

Leadership in place, now hiring other staff Support external collaboration with partners

NOAA’s FY’08 Budget Request includes IOOS request

$ 14.0 Million (Regional obs., date mgmt., sensors)

Completed internal planning for the FY10-14 timeframe

Completed a draft NOAA IOOS Strategic Plan

Completed 5 interoperability tests to baseline data flows and conditions for our four thematic focus areas.

Implemented a merit based competition to support regional IOOS development (FY07 and FY08)


NOAA Funded IOOS National Capacity

NOAA Funded IOOS National Capacity

First U.S. IOOS Development Plan (2006) stresses the importance of capitalizing on what is already deployed in “in-the-water”

For NOAA this means focusing in integrating data from our existing systems (i.e., tide gauges, buoys)

The regional coastal ocean observation element has historically been funded through earmarks to NOAA. NOAA is transitioning to a competitive model.

IOOS ChallengesIOOS Challenges

Technical Not easy to integrate data from many

sources Need to provide data in formats and rates

that are useful for broad array of applications

Program IOOS is not “owned” by 1 agency or entity Difficult to engineer a cohesive and operation

system with many stakeholders that contribute to and use the system

Budget Fiscal constraints always an issue (no one

agency can do it all) Coordinating federal budget requests across

agencies is not typical and not easy Moving from earmarks to merit based awards IOOS Observation Registry -

many data sources from around the U.S.

Example of ocean and coastal observation data.


The Roles of Industry

Providing Solutions

The Roles of Industry

Providing Solutions

Successful business can be built upon providing innovative solutions to project challenges

Program solutions Linking OOI and IOOS Innovative Research and Technology

Transfer

Technical Solutions Still in period of discovery and face

technical challenges IT engineering services Commercial applications development

Budget NOAA knows industry can help How do we build a cohesive system with

exiting resources? How can we leverage funded efforts

underway in the private sector?

The Role of Industry

National IOOS Perspective

The Role of Industry

National IOOS Perspective

Its essential that Industry be fully integrated in the planning, implementation, and operation of the U.S. IOOS

Develop strategies for value-added commercial applications and services, technology transfer, and operations and maintenance of the national IOOS.

Consider Industry perspectives through representation at Ocean.US and through active engagement at industry workshops and forums

NOAA encourages the private sector to collaborate with regional entities to respond to our competitive federal funding announcements.

Ask for your help in strategizing and thinking about ways to strengthen existing and build new connections.

Surfline uses oceanographic data to forecast surf conditions around the world

NOAA’s PORTS® provides real-time oceanographic data for 13 ports (6 more this year)

Budget

FY’08 Administration request includes $14M for IOOS

$2.5 M for implementation of data mgmt. and communications

$11.5 M for regional observations

FY’08 Senate CJS Mark - $47 M $8 M for program development,

date mgmt., communications, and grant administration

$29 M for competitive regional observation systems

$10 M for National data mgmt. and comm. Center

FY’08 House CJS Mark - $14 M (matches Pres. Request)

Legislation

S. 950: report out of Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee

H.2337 report out of the House Natural Resources Committee


SummarySummary

IOOS is maturing, but more work needed to evolve IOOS into a fully operational system.

As the U.S. IOOS moves to implementation, the potential roles of industry are expected to grow.

NOAA encourages the private sector to collaborate with regional entities to respond to our competitive federal funding announcements.

Symposia such as this are vitally important for exchanging ideas and translating the best ideas into action.
