  1. The US Integrated Ocean Observing System(IOOS)Andrew M. Clark Ph.D.National Office for Integrated and Sustained Ocean Observations 11 August 2005 NANOOS Industry Workshop, Seattle, WA

  2. National Office for Integrated Sustained Ocean Observations

  3. GEOSS IEOS IOOS GOOS

  4. Regional Associations • Involve User Groups • Incorporate • Universities • State Agencies • Private Sector Regional Systems

  5. IOOS Represents a Tremendous Infrastructure…

  6. …Many Elements of Which are Already Built and Operational…

  7. Finding the “On-Ramps” for Industry is Key

  8. … Building them Where Necessary …

  9. …and Ensuring those “On-Ramps” can be found

  10. Partnership is Key Roles Must Be Defined An Ungodly Beast The Holy Trinity

  11. Exit Strategies Must Also Be Considered

  12. “The role of industry in the building, operation and maintenance of the system should be clearly defined. Industry should not be viewed solely as a provider of technology or a user of the system, but as a full partner in the planning, implementation and operation of the system. This will require developing joint strategies with industry, for things as diverse as long-term sensor and platform technology, protection of intellectual property rights, and identification of possible ventures to create value-added products.” - Admiral James Watkins on the IOOS

  13. Improved Flood Forecast Mapping Tar River Basin, NC Goal – Provide Web based flood inundation maps from NWS operational text forecasts to emergency managers during flood events • Partnered data (LIDAR Topo Engineering Data) from FEMA and NC • Built unsteady hydraulic model for 73 miles of Tar River • Mapped flood forecasts in a GIS and provided over the Web • Used operationally by SERFC as flood forecast tool during Hurricane Isabel – Sept. 2003

  14. Saves Lives and Property

  15. Enhancing Existing Capabilities Midway Wake Island Guam Kwajalein Pago Pago Integrating Tide and Buoy Data for Tsunami Warnings Current Tsunami Tide Stations Expanded Tsunami Tide Stations • DART Buoys detect changes in wave height of less than a millimeter in long-period waves • Tide Stations detect changes in water levels, including anomalies • Software provides Tide Station data at greater frequency (every minute) for integration into the Tsunami Warning Network

  16. Midway Wake Island Guam Kwajalein Pago Pago Current Tsunami Tide Stations Expanded Tsunami Tide Stations • Tide Stations detect changes in water levels, including anomalies • Software provides Tide Station data at greater frequency (every minute) for integration into the Tsunami Warning Network

  17. Hazard Elements:Detect – Disseminate – Take Action

  18. Who We Need To Get To…

  19. Who We Need To Get To…

  20. Who We Need To Get To…

  21. Who We Need To Get To…

  22. That IOOS Has Needs That Might Best be Addressed By Industry; Among These are:1. Value Added Products2. Design/Build the System3. Operate/Maintain the Network …and What We Need to Tell Them:

  23. IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain …and that We Understand What Motivates Industry: INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment

  24. IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain …and that We are Committed to Working with them to Determine the Most Effective Means to “Cross Walk” these: INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS

  25. IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain …Including: INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS DataUse

  26. IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain …and Including INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS DataUse Contracts

  27. IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain …and also Including INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS DataUse Contracts CRADAs

  28. IOOS NEEDS1. Value Add2. Design/Build3. Operate/Maintain …and, finally: INDUSTRY NEEDS1. Profit2. Growth3. Re-Investment MECHANISMS* DataUse Contracts CRADAs Partnerships

  29. What opportunities does the IOOSoffer the private sector? • The industry opportunities: • Data to support business planning • Increased operational efficiency • More effective design of offshore platforms, pipelines, and risers • Data to support crisis management, response planning, and compliance with federal regulations • Partnering with academic and governmental organizations for research and development • Additional research, e.g., larval movement (shrimp), identification of hypoxic areas and toxic algae blooms (Fisheries) • IOOS opportunities • Providing data • Providing data products

  30. Tampa Bay PORTS Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System Operated in collaboration with NOAA/NOS/Center for Operational Ocean Products and Services (CO-OPS) and local maritime interests Funding for operations from State and County trust funds and local users www.co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/ or ompl.marine.usf.edu/PORTS

  31. DATA:A Few Clouds on the Horizon… but Fairly Smooth Sailing Ahead USERS of CURRENT IOOS DATA • Maritime / Shipping / Ports & Harbors • Concerned re: Future of PORTS and NWLON • Ocean.US has been in contact, responded to their concerns, corresponded and attended their meetings • Value-Added Resellers • Concerned re: Competition from IOOS • Ocean.Us has been in contact, participated in Panel at AMS, is developing a Position Paper USERS of FUTURE IOOS DATA • S. Asia Catastrophe has Focused World’s (and Washington’s) Attention on Ocean Observing Systems • Many Industries Heretofore Unconcerned (e.g. Resorts, Recreation) are Now Similarly More Attentive

  32. Take Home Messages • IOOS … • Saves lives, saves livelihoods, and improves quality of life • Builds on existing capabilities for the greatest benefit to society • Is user driven • Requires a sustained commitment to develop, maintain, and ensure the highest quality for the system • Involves collaboration from multiple agencies and organizations – locally, nationally and internationally
