Observing System Monitoring Center Background:The OSMC is a tool to assist managers and scientists with monitoring the global in-situ ocean observing system, identifying problems in real-time, and evaluating the adequacy of the observations. The heart of the OSMC is a database of the times, locations, platform information, and parameters measured. Kevin O’Brien – NOAA/PMEL/UW Candyce Clark, NOAA/COD Ted Habermann, NOAA/NGDC Steve Hankin, NOAA/PMEL Kevin Kern, NOAA/NDBC Michelle Little, NOAA/NDBC/PSI Dave Neufeld, NOAA/NGDC many other vital contributors …
OSMC as an observing system integration tool • Three areas of integration under OSMC • Real time input from GTS • Climate platform archives (‘DACs’) • Climate products and data
Real time integration All Obs for previous two days
Real time integration (cont) Drilling down
Relational data base OPeNDAPserver w/THREDDScatalog available thru a standard web service Integration with climate archives (cont) ANTARES OS_ANTARES-1_200509_D_CTD.nc OS_ANTARES-1_200609_D_CTD.nc OS_ANTARES-1_200709_D_CTD.nc incoming data CIS OS_CIS-1_200308_D_CTD.nc OS_CIS-1_200405_D_CTD.nc OS-CIS-1_200509_D_CTD.nc DYFAMED E1M3A . . . . . . . all in standard format: netCDF+CF
Integration with climate products and data • Many climate products are already available via OPeNDAP • (though not all are kept up to date) • OSMC can: • offer tools to compare and evaluate products • encourage use of webservices like OPeNDAPand format standardslike netCDF-CF andGRIB Reynolds bias error with ocean obs
Integration with climate products and data Example: Performance Monitoring GOOS Requirement for SST is 25 observations / week @ 500 km
