ocean globe, ocean geospatial appliance
DESCRIPTION
International Underwater Explorations presents an integrated visualization system for hydrographic and oceanographic data for use as a dual use decision support system that can be applied to naval mission planning, alternative energy site selection, and harbor and coastal emergency response.TRANSCRIPT
- 1. Web Map Services
- IUE provides GIS decision support tools that combine multiple layers of the ocean floor, topographical data, and weather services.
- Enable rapid data transfer and visualization
- True 3D ocean modeling
- Following standardized
- Protocols and models
2. Coastal Problems and Solutions
- Always changing,
- dynamic environment
- Data is sparse and
- stove-piped in databases
- Not interoperable
- Many devices, hard to data model
- Takes too long to process and share
- Transferred with CDs/DVDs/and ftp sites???
- Breaking down the barriers for rapid data transfer

3. Multibeam Soundings
- Multibeam swaths
- NAVSOC undersea vehicles
- NOAA Cruises, USGS, MMS, Fugro, NGA
- Hundreds of Millions of points
- TBs of data
- Oracle, point data loaders, Terrain DB
- Raster grids cached on a server
4. Hawaii Points (NOAA, 2007) Updates being processed 5. bathymetry Hawaii bathymetry web service: Creating decision support tools with bathymetry and LIDAR 6. IUE provides data to ESRI 7. Speeding things up
- http and ftp enable the fast upload of points
- Geoprocessing model converts soundings to seafloor
8. Patents and engineering models
- To convert data to information
- Provide automated solutions
- Make the methods available on www
- Web services in globe viewer
- Google Earth plug-in for websites
- Add weather and cloud cover
- Currents, wind, temp,
- Salinity, whales, wells.
9. Ocean Globe Server
- Ocean Geospatial Appliance
- Combined software, hardware, data fusion/integration
- Multibeam soundings data,models, and web services
- Value added layers, current, temperature, weather
