Discover • Connect • Inform Data Diplomats in the West Coast Ocean Data Network: Data Service Facilitators
PNW: NANOOS NVS Strong focus on usability, user experience A key objective for NANOOS is to provide data and user-defined products to a diverse group of stakeholders in a timely fashion, and at spatial and temporal scales appropriate for their needs. To this end, NANOOS developed the NVS, which aggregates, displays and servesmeteorological and oceanographic data, derived from buoys, gliders, tide gauges, HF Radar, meteorological stations and satellites, as well as model forecast information in such a way that it presents end users with a rich, informative and user friendly experience. http://nvs.nanoos.org 2
Integration of multiple providers Federal: NOAA NDBC & NOS-COOPS, USGS State: Washington DOE Non-profit: Pacific Shellfish Institute Academic: OHSU/CMOP Others: CDIP Willapa Bay & Columbia Mouth/Plume Also: King County, UW, OSU, Hatfield Marine Sci. Ctr., NOAA NERRS & NCEP, VENUS, Environment Canada, South Atlantic, Stillaguamish Tribe, ...

NVS “Metadata”: Adding consistency across providers Vocabulary translation between diverse data sources & NVS unified information Date-time encoding & timezone, location, asset identifier and name, platform type, observation depth representation, measurement names, units, etc Widely used across all of NVS. Reusable.
Data Provider Partnerships: PNW Shellfish aquaculture community • PCSGA • Pacific Shellfish Institute • Taylor Shellfish • Whiskey Creek Hatchery • Vancouver Island University
Local observation providers:Relationship, Benefits Incentives, motivations (esp. when no funding is involved) Online access to their data (RA tools as supplemental or main data access) Wider data dissemination and recognition Provider data available in broader context, with similar data from other providers Regional mechanism for platform status-update broadcasting Support for national networks with minimal overhead Challenges Everyone is stretched thin Building closer ties, support, feedback “NANOOS Data Provider Partnership Information”
Minimal requirements for participation Make data files available to NANOOS, in any accessible format (even emailed zipped MS Access files!) NANOOS handles the standardization / match-ups Respond to queries about status, updates, etc Bridge-building troops: Grease from intermediaries OSU, etc.: bridge between local providers or specialized data (forecast models), and NVS Enables greater productivity for group as a whole Local observation providers:Making it work
