IOOSStatus of Planning & Implementation • Background • Milestones • Implementation Plan, Part I • Governance of the IOOS • Implementation Plan, Part II • The Initial IOOS: Integrating existing assets • Next Steps
Milestones to Date • 1999 • OceanObs ’99 • 2000 • Ocean.US established • 2002 • Building Consensus: Toward an Integrated & Sustained Observing System => DMAC Ad Hoc Committee formed • An Integrated & Sustained Observing System (IOOS) for the U.S.: Design & Implementation => NORLC => OSTP => Congress • 2003 • Implementation of the Initial IOOS. Part I. Structure & Governance => Ocean.US Executive Committee • Integrated Strategic Design Plan for the Coastal Module of the Global Ocean Observing System => GSC, I-GOOS • Ocean Observations & Coastal Systems Act (S 1400 [authorization]: Snowe, Kerry, McCain & Hollings)
Implementation of the Initial U.S. IOOS • Part I. Structure and Governance • May, 2003 • Approved by Ocean.US Executive Committee • Part II. Building the Initial IOOS • September, 2003 • Part III. Enhancing the Initial IOOS • November, 2003 • Full Plan => NORLC • December, 2003
Governance of the IOOS Functions Responsibilities Planning Selection NORLC & National Federation Establish Policies, Implement Funding Requests USGSC, RAs, Users Product Development, Evaluation ExCom Implement ORAP Advise Ocean.US Plan Coordinate Evaluate Verify
Functions of Ocean.US Plan & Coordinate • Develop & maintain strategic plan • Ensure incorporation of elements into an integrated system • Recommend enhancements • Recommend R&D priorities • Promote collaboration among participating NOPP Agencies & Regional Associations • Report regularly to the EXCOM which • Provides policy guidance, Ensures sustained agency support, & approves implementing documents

Part II. Building the Initial IOOS • Data Call • Selection Process • Initial Elements • Global Ocean-Climate Component • Coastal Component • Research & Education • Planning Activities • Building an integrated system • Communications strategy • Roles & Responsibilities of Participating NOPP Agencies
Data Call • Navy, NOAA, NSF, NASA • USGS, USCG, USACE, MMS • 135 programs
Criteria for Incorporation • Contributes information required to achieve the IOOS goals • Measures one or more of the core variables • Benefits from integration or improves IOOS capacity • Meets requirements of 1 of 4 stages of the IOOS
Four Stages of the IOOS: Requirements 1. Research New Knowledge & Technologies 2. Pilot Projects Demonstrate Feasibility (community acceptance; standards & protocols) 3. Pre-Operational Projects Proof of Concept (value added, cost-effective) 4. Operational System (routine, sustained)
The Initial IOOS: Preliminary Pre-Op & Operational - Work in Progress • Global Ocean Component • Sea level • Surface fields: T, S, waves, currents, Chl-a • Interior fields: T, S • Coastal Component: Backbone • Global Ocean variables + • Surface & interior fields of Chl-a, Zoopl. • Extent & condition of benthic habitats • Surface & interior fields of spawning fish stocks
NOPP Pilot Projects • Observing • Argo • Remote sensing • Research Observatories • Modeling • Linking observations & models, e.g., GODAE • Coupled physical-biological models • DMAC • NVODS • OBIS Projects
2002 Ocean.US Workshop Recommendation Senate Bill 1400
Next Steps: FY 2004 • Complete NORLC Approved Implementation Plan • Communications Strategy • Workshops • Remote Sensing Workshop • IOOS Data for Educators • Summit • National Federation of Regional Associations • Engage Planning & Budgeting Process • DMAC Implementation • Pilot Projects
