  1. NOAA Observing System Architecture (NOSA) Data Call Briefing Package November 15, 2002

  3. Initial Tasking • Develop an observing system architecture • Baseline (“state today”) • Target architecture (“future state”—10-20 years) • Base prospective observing systems on validated requirements • Investigate system consolidation and ownership transition (e.g., buoys) • Conduct a systemic review of all observing systems considering the following factors • Required system characteristics • Number of and types of system users • Capital asset value and recurring maintenance costs

  4. Initial Scope • Focus first on baseline observing system architecture • Begin with systemic review of all NOAA observing systems • Work closely with NOAA team developing the requirements-based management process • Timeline for future observing system architecture development TBD • Address only NOAA owned and/or operated systems • Include operational and research systems

  5. NOSA Senior Steering Group • NESDIS Greg Withee, Rob Mairs (lead) • NMFS Bill Fox • NOS Steve Gill • NWS Greg Mandt (lead), Paul Moersdorf • OAR Mike Johnson • OMAO Beth White • CIO Carl Staton

  6. NOSA Action Group • NESDIS Rob Mairs (lead), Howard Diamond, Lisa Botluk • NMFS Ned Cyr, David Detlor • NOS Steve Gill • NWS Rainer Dombrowsky, Eric Meindl, Tim Ross • OAR Sid Thurston • OMAO Beth White • OCIO Ira Grossman • IA Michael Hales • Contractor Support (Aerospace Corp, Veridian)

  7. Initial Action Group Focus • Analyze purpose of observing system architecture • Establish framework, format and content of data call • Data call • Data capture/analysis • Follow-up interviews • Discuss use of architecture tools (e.g., Ptech, Popkin, METIS) • Proper capture and visualization of various architecture views • Assimilate data (principles, guidelines, standards, etc.)

  8. NOSA Project Schedule Summary Data Call Finish on Monday, Dec 2nd

  9. Architecture Queries • How much is NOAA spending on observing systems? • What observing systems are associated with each NOAA strategic goal? • Display all observing systems owned by a particular line office. • What observing systems are supporting our ability to measure the heat content of the ocean (or other scientific query)? • What additional observing systems do we need to answer this particular question? • Display all organizations that own buoys.

  10. Architecture Queries(continued) • Display all requirements not being met by current observing systems. • Display all observing systems that a certain stakeholder deems important. • Display all observing systems that measure a particular environmental parameter. • Display the acquisition costs of all observing systems associated with a certain strategic goal. • Display the geographic coverage of a particular observing system. • How does this coverage compare with stated requirements?

  11. Architecture Queries(continued) • Display the NOAA network locations that observe a particular environmental parameter? • Do other US organizations operate similar systems? • How do they compare to the NOAA system? • Could NOAA use their data? If so, what is the justification for this NOAA-operated system? • How does this NOAA observing system fit within the global system for this parameter (e.g., GCOS, GOOS, World Weather Watch, etc.)? • How much does NOAA pay to acquire data from non-NOAA sources? What would it cost to deploy a NOAA-operated system to observe the same parameters?
