  1. NOAA/CSC: Fostering the Regional Component of the Integrated Ocean Observing System SECOORA Workshop 12-13 September 2006 Geno Olmi

  2. CSC’s Goal: Coastal and ocean professionals are better able to manage, protect, and utilize coastal and marine resources using ocean observation information and tools. • Three Focus Areas • Partnerships and capacity • Data, modeling, and applications infrastructure • Coastal community participation

  3. Partnerships & Capacity • Support Ocean.US by administering funds and providing staff and support • Support Regional Association development by providing coordination grants • Assist in communication and coordination among Regional Associations, Ocean.US, and NOAA • Assess and address needs of the Regional Associations • Administer grants for sub-regional observing systems (Coastal Observation Technology Systems) • Participate in NOAA IOOS planning

  4. NOAA Contribution to Regional Capacity: Regional Association Development Coastal Observation Technology System (COTS) Coastal Observation Technology System (COTS) GEM Pilot Projects GoMOOS Oregon Health & Sciences Inst.

  5. IOOS Regional Coordination Workshop Purpose: Further the development of a national network of Regional Associations to advance the regional component of IOOS 7-9 November 2006, Chicago, IL

  6. Data, Modeling, and Applications Infrastructure • Participate on Data Management and Communication (DMAC) steering committee and expert teams • Establishing a testbed for data transport processes • Developing mechanisms to improve information sharing for data transport • Developing data standards and best practices • Supporting community modeling approaches for coastal issues

  7. Community Information Repository • Information on data sharing and collaboration focused on regional IOOS groups • “How-to”, cookbooks, best practices for IOOS data sharing • Input from various sources – compiled in one place http://www.ocean.us/CIR

  8. Data Transport Lab • Will evaluate most commonly used transport technologies (OPeNDAP, OGC, SOAP/XML, etc…) • “Cookbooks“ for using these technologies to share and access IOOS data • Engage regional data providers to test, participate, and give/receive technical assistance

  9. Coastal Community Participation • Conducting workshops, conference sessions, and other opportunities to incorporate coastal management issues into IOOS • Developing demonstration tools and applications for using IOOS information • Supporting economic studies to communicate the value of IOOS to coastal management issues

  10. Communication and Engagement • Conference sessions • Coastal Zone 03 • Coastal Zone 05 • ERF 03 • ERF 05 • Oceanology/MTS 2004 • Ocean Sciences 2006 • The Coastal Society 2004 • The Coastal Society 2006

  11. IOOS Applications: Making IOOS matter • Highlighting end-user applications of IOOS • Beginning with CSC applications • Chesapeake Bay Oyster Larvae Tracker • Promote Regional applications • Need partners • Demonstrating the value of “interoperability” • Inundation modeling and visualization http://www.csc.noaa.gov/cbolt
