Data Management: Products and Procedures for August 2007 Cruises

1. Data Management:Products and Procedures for August 2007 Cruises Bill Howe

2. Topics • Vision • Communications • On-Board Tools for August • Cast Protocol Addendum • Supporting Materials • Training for On-Board Tools • Cruise Manual

3. Towards a Higher-Value Data Inventory • Claim: The scientific value of the CMOP data inventory scales with the number of products that stakeholders can find,interpret, and use. • Goal: Earn an economy of scale for development of new products and ensembles that support specific science tasks … • … rather than seek an all-purpose interface that attempts to meet all needs of all users

4. Towards a Higher-Value Data Inventory e.g., adjustable time range • Build product “factories” to automate repetitive development tasks • Deliver modular, reusable products One product definition used in many contexts and ensembles • Augment static images with interactive capabilities One product definition leads to many specific products

5. Communications • SWAP network • products • ship-to-shore • shore-to-ship • by transitivity: ship-to-ship • cell phones

6. Challenges for Real-time Two-way Telemetry SWAP Network; collaboration of: - OSU - OHSU - UNOLS

8. Roadmap for Ubiquitous Information Status for August • Two dynamic, factory-powered interfaces • Cast Dashboard • Cruise Mapper • Two standard product suites (forecasts, cruises) • New factory under development for sophisticated predictions, informed by scientific needs • Can we predict or identify in real time the location of the ETMs in the North Channel, South Channel and mouth? • Can we predict or identify in real time the location of the plume front at specific times during specific days? • Can we predict or identify in real time the location of upwelling fronts? • Can we calculate residence times of water under different conditions? • …more Charles Seaton is preparing products to answer these questions Thanks to Byron
