  1. NOAA Report WGISS 19 Climate and Meteorology Status Glenn K. Rutledge NOAA Cordoba, Argentina March 7,2005

  2. UPDATES • NOAA Observing Systems Architecture (NOSA) • Making significant progress in integrating NOAA Observing systems • Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) • Funding profile and NOAA management support increasing significantly • Approval of moving 2nd node to Boulder, Colorado (NGDC) • GEO/GEOSS • 10 year Implementation plan released • US IEOS Strategic plan released (final Draft) • 3rd EO Summit and 6th GEO held in Brussels

  4. Integrated Satellite and In-Situ Data Access

  5. Observation Density

  6. Of the 98 Observing Systems currently listed as NOAA observing systems • 83 observing systems have geospatial data and are shown on the previous map • 21 are still missing any geospatial information • Still have lots of work to do NOSA Geospatial Database

  7. NOAA's National Data Centers and their world-wide clientele of customers look to CLASS as the sole NOAA IT infrastructure project in which all NOAA’s current and future environmental data sets will reside. CLASS provides permanent, secure storage, and safe, efficient data discovery and access between the Data Centers and the customers. New CLASS Mission Statement

  8. New CLASS Configuration Production/operations Production/operations CLASS – West Boulder, CO CLASS – East Asheville, NC Data Providers Data Users CLASS Network Development/Integration West Virginia

  10. NOAA’s Contribution to the GEOSS “System of Systems” • Comprehensive Large Array Stewardship System (CLASS) • Web-based data archive and distribution system for NOAAs large array data • Reengineer legacy data storage and access systems and blend new and efficient technologies • Ensure the stewardship of existing (e.g., POES, GOES, NEXRAD, in-situ) and rapidly approaching large-array data sets (e.g., NPP/NPOESS, EOS, METOP, NEXRAD) • Provides permanent, secure storage and safe, efficient access between NOAA and its customers

  11. U.S. Contribution to GEOSSInteragency Working Group on Earth Observations IWGEO’s Vision • Enable a healthy public, economy, and planet through an integrated, comprehensive, and sustained Earth observation system.

  12. Data Management System for Earth Observations • Data Management Needs • New Systems mean 100-fold increase in data • Current systems already face challenges • Development of browser and visualization systems— underpinned by core geospatial technologies • Interoperability through protocols and standards and a services based architecture • Agencies provided framework to meet the challenges Draft IESO DM Plan in final review

  13. NOAA’s Role in GEOSS • NOAA: Where Science Creates Value • Earth observations… • Are at the core of NOAA’s mission • Support virtually every activity we perform • NOAA has… • Observing capabilities being advanced through scientific and technological research • A broad scope of domestic and international partnerships • Commitment to transform research into useful, operational information

  14. Global Earth Observing System of Systems • United States • Integrated Earth Observation System • European Commission • Global Monitoring for Environment and Security • Asia • Asian Monsoon Observation Initiative • Africa • New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) Environment Initiative

  15. Near Term OpportunitiesGEOSS • Improved Observations for Disaster Warnings • Global Land Observing System • Sea Level Observing System • National Integrated Drought Information System • Air Quality Assessment and Forecast System • Data Management System for Earth Observations

  16. NOAA EOPA • The NOAA Earth Observation Partnership of the Americas is focusing on: • data access and communication; • implementing necessary upgrades to ground equipment for next generation satellites; • and strengthening opportunities for education, training and related environmental sustainable development efforts between the U.S. and the region. • NOAA has advocated leadership in outreach, capacity building and data utilization activities in the Americas where NOAA's geostationary resources are available, similar to how Europe is focusing on Africa.

  17. EOPA The Way Ahead • Ideas being explored include: loaning of a GOES satellite in storage; South American instruments flown on NOAA's future satellite missions; enhance education on satellite data use; and greater coordination with WMO networks and systems. • NOAA International Affairs are coordinating.
