  1. Progress Towards Regional Coastal Ocean Observing Systems:Interactions between the NERRS, RAs and Sub-regional Monitoring and Observing Efforts 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  2. 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  3. Reserves are protected for: • Long-term research and monitoring • Education • Resource stewardship 27 reserves protecting 1.3 million acres estuarine lands and waters 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  4. NERRS Goals 1. Strengthen the protection and management of representative estuarine ecosystems to advance estuarine conservation, research, and education. 2. Increase the use of reserve science and sites to address priority coastal management issues. 3. Enhance peoples’ ability and willingness to make informed decisions and take responsible actions that affect coastal communities and ecosystems. 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  5. System-wide Monitoring Program • Goal: Promoting stewardship of the Nation’s estuaries through science and education using a system of protected areas • Purpose: To identify and track short-term variability and long-term changes in the integrity and biodiversity of representative estuarine ecosystems and coastal watersheds for the purpose of contributing to effective national, regional, and site specific coastal zone management 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  6. System-wide Monitoring Program Abiotic Monitoring • Water quality • Weather parameters Biological Monitoring • Habitat • Biodiversity Watershed and Land Use Classification and Change Data Management (CDMO) 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  7. System-Wide Monitoring Program Phases I. Abiotic Monitoring Water Quality & Nutrients Weather Parameters II. Biological Monitoring Habitat Change Biodiversity III. Land Cover/Use and Habitat Change Spatial Patterns Human Impacts 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  8. SWMP “Abiotic” Monitoring(Phase I) • Identify and track short-term variability and long-term changes in the integrity and biodiversity of estuarine ecosystems. 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  9. Deployment Strategy Reference site Initial Deployment Coverage Non-point Source-influenced Impacted site Enhanced Deployment Coverage “Estuarine Gradients” • Salinity • Land-use • Habitat • Vertical 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  10. NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE SYSTEM-WIDE MONITORING PROGRAM SWMP I. Water Quality, Weather & Nutrients Centralized Data Management Office SWMP III. Watershed Land-use & Land Cover SWMP II. Species, Communities, & Habitats 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  11. Centralized Data Management Office • The Centralized Data Management Office (CDMO) was established in 1995 in support of the National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) System-wide Monitoring Program (SWMP) which involves 26 sites around the US and Puerto Rico in order to: • develop, implement and manage the basic infrastructure and data protocol of the NERR SWMP, and • support the assimilation and exchange of data and metadata within the NERRS framework 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  12. CDMO Priorities • The advancement of the System-wide Monitoring Program data and information management program • To maintain the online data and information server which provides access to data, metadata and derived products associated with all monitoring efforts http://cdmo.baruch.sc.edu • To provide technical support services via telephone, e-mail, and individual and group training to NERRS • The continuation of the CDMO Data Management Committee annual workshop to provide an additional avenue for the exchange of ideas and information related to database management, technological advances, and other data collection and monitoring program • The continuation of the annual Technician Training Workshop series to provide training to NERR technicians working on SWMP initiatives • Provide technical support for special NOAA projects and provide information for management and outreach support 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  13. CDMO Data Ingestion and Dissemination • Conservatively, the CDMO reviews, archives and disseminates: • 13.5 million data points per year for the water quality monitoring program (4 stations collecting 8 parameters every half-hour at 27 NERRS sites) • 34.4 million data points per year for the meteorological monitoring program (1 station collecting 25 parameters quarterly, hourly and daily intervals at 27 NERRS sites) • 31,104 data points per year for the nutrient monitoring program (4 stations collecting monthly grabs and 1 station collecting monthly diel of 6 parameters at 27 NERRS sites) 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  14. Coastal Monitoring Efforts According to the IOOS vision … The successful coastal ocean observing system is one that integrates from the offshore, to the nearshore, to the estuaries, to the upland in support of improved … 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  15. National NERRS IOOS Activities • In support of being a component of the national backbone, the NERRS has undertaken several significant efforts: • A metadata translation effort. • Implementation of telemetry for improved data delivery. • Advanced QA/QC. • Supported end-user application development. 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  16. National NERRS IOOS Activities • Metadata translation effort The conversion program takes the existing metadata and reformat it so that it can be imported into Meta-Door. Meta-Door then takes the metadata and make it FGDC compliant. 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  17. National NERRS IOOS Activities • Metadata translation effort Start with text End with XML 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  18. National NERRS IOOS Activities • Metadata translation effort And publish FGDC- compliant metadata 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  19. National NERRS IOOS Activities • Improved data delivery GOES telemetry systems are being installed for near real-time delivery of meteorological and water quality data. 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  20. NODC National Ocean Data Center Archive Telemetry through Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) GOES Satellite DOMSAT Wallops Island Command and Data Acquisition Facility Hydro-Meteorological Automated Data System NERRS Weather & Water Data Collection Platforms NERRS/ Centralized Data Management Office (CDMO) NERRS Satellite Receive Station at the University of South Carolina, Columbia Annually 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009

  21. National NERRS IOOS Activities • Improved QA/C • Initial “on-the-fly” automated QA/QC. • Secondary data review by individual NERRS results in posting of “provisional” data. • Tertiary review by CDMO and Reserves results in “authoritative” data 3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC Orlando, FL February 2009
