Our Planet is Changing

1. US IOOS®: A Partnership for Lives and Livelihoods Our Planet is Changing We need advanced tools tounderstand and monitor our oceans, coasts and Great Lakes Zdenka Willis Director, US IOOS Program Office

2. U.S. IOOS®: Program Overview WHO WHAT • Observations • Data Management • Modeling and Analysis WHY: 7 Goals, 1 System • Weather and climate change • Maritime operations • Natural hazards • Homeland security • Public health risks • Healthy coastal ecosystems • Sustain Living Marine Resources 12 WHERE: Global and Coastal Components Enhances science and improves decision making

3. Coastal Component • Comprised of federal agencies (National level) and non-federal (Regional level) • Geographic extent: EEZ to the head of the tide • Based on 26 variables • Data Management and Communications (DMAC) is a major focus that is intended to be enterprise wide from National to Regional scales

4. NANOOS funds: UW, WA State Dept. Ecology, OHSU, OSU, OR Dept State Lands assets, ~19 in total NANOOS displays: Federal, Tribal, State, University, Private assets, 167 in total

5. Data Integration – Regional to National

6. US HF Radar Network • Operated by > 30 institutions • Used by > 40 government/private entities • Industry Partner: US-based CODAR Ocean Sensor • Uses: • + Coast Guard : Search &Rescue: Oil spill + Water Quality; Criminal Forensics • + Commercial marine navigation + Off Shore Energy • + Harmful algal blooms + Marine fisheries • + Emerging – Tsunami

7. Global HF Radar Network • Group Earth Observations (GEO) • 88 Member governments and the European Commission, working with 61 Participating Organizations focused on the importance of Earth Observations to Societal Benefits • Component under 2 Tasks in the GEO workplan 2012-2015 • IIN-01 Earth Observing Systems • SB-01 Oceans and Society: Blue Planet • What: • Transform individual HF Radar networks into a global system where we can provide high quality HF Radar for a range of used. • Development of easy to use standard products • Assimilate HF Radar data into models

8. US IOOS®: Use of Gliders

9. . 2010/2011 UAF Arctic Glider Missions • AOOS glider broke records by continuously sampling in the Chukchi Sea for over 9 weeks, collecting over 11,000 vertical profiles, covering 1,000 km. • Operates in extreme environments • Enhanced safety of personnel • Supports critical research missions Eugene Bodfish, Olgoonik Oilfield Services; Peter Winsor, UAF, Andrew Mullen, intern from Notre Dame University, prepare to launch a glider from C/V Tukpuk o" Wainwright, Alaska.

14. IOOS Summit Vision Why an IOOS Summit? • To bring together community leaders to develop a coordinated strategy • To better integrate regional, national, and global efforts What do we want to achieve? • A clear understanding of progress made toward achieving IOOS in the last decade • A fundamental understanding of the requirements needed to maintain IOOS • A strong community consensus on the way forward for the next decade How do we ensure success? • Solicit the community through written submissions prior to the meeting • Ensure broad representative participation at the meeting • Identify strategies for enhancing IOOS capabilities in the next decade SUMMIT 2012 A New Decade for an Integrated and Sustained Ocean Observing System November 13-16, 2012 Hyatt Dulles | Herndon, VA
