Of potential coastal modeling testbed activities; what 1– 2 year activities or products, would be most helpful to my operational mission?
Of potential coastal modeling testbed activities; what >2 year activities or products, would be most helpful to my operational mission?
Specific IOOS/SURA Testbed activities/ products;that are particularly useful (or not)to my operational mission?
USCG SAR MissionEnvironmental Data Challenges • AOI (Area of Interest) dedicated to us by case • Can’t predefine areal extend to model • Reach back in time to start of incident. • Require archiving of now-cast fields • AOR (Area of Responsibility) huge and extends offshore and into bays and harbors • No single product can provide this coverage • Immediate access to data • Wait times of 10s of seconds, not minutes! • 51 Operational Center, 1000 SAR controllers • Not oceanographers nor meteorologists
USCG SAR IT Challenges0-2 years (growing to burst?) • 30 sources of modeled currents & ↑ • 6 sources of data based currents & ↑ • 19 sources of winds & ↑ • Resolution (file size) of the products ↑ • Parameters used ↑ (SST, waves, shoreline, Met, 3-D…) • All coming into EDS, archived, converted to NetCDF for immediate (<10 sec) access – unsustainable? • Tools needed to compare current data to modeled currents, to select among the choices.
USCG SAR IT Challenges>2 years • Ensemble products • By USCG or for the USCG? • Modeled products (currents) Uncertainty • Provided by modelers? • Determined by USCG’s data sources? • Archived now-casts fields? • By whom? USCG (now), modelers, IOOS, Cloud? • How far back? • Access on demand (pass through requests) to ?
What I like • A big Cyber Structure investment to tackle problems similar to my own. • A developing awareness of ‘end user’ issues. • Developing cooperation among modelers • Inundation Modeling for ‘Inland SAR’
