  2. NOAA’s Climate Database Modernization Program (CDMP) Primary Goal: Digitize and preserve historical climate and environmental data and make them easily accessible via the Internet 50 NOAA tasks supported by CDMP FY 2005 funding Task Selection based on an Annual Proposal Process

  3. CDMP Current Status • CDMP has three primary Conversion Contractors • Current contracts end either February or March 2006 • CDMP FY 06 budget is not yet known • CDMP Data Access Workshop November 15-16, 2005

  4. CDMP Marine Activities • Canadian Marine • WMO Publication 47 • Incoming Marine Records - VOS & Navy • German Maury • US Maury • Lightship Observations • NOS & Fisheries data • Simultaneous Ship Observations • NOS Coastal Charts • Early European Ship Logs

  5. WSSRD LOGIN: user name/password required

  6. Incoming Records: US Navy Forms VOS Forms Approximately 120K obs/yr Canadian Marine (1992 - 2005 ) VOS Forms Canadian Navy Forms 242K obs keyed All of these data should flow to the Global Collecting Centers

  7. Maury Collections • US Maury Collection: • Keyed in China • 69904 images in the Collection on WSSRD • Original manuscript Inventory imaged (88 reels) from NARA • German Maury Collection: • 870 logbooks; 20945 images in the Collection • Keying format has been prepared for the 1st series • logbook selection and keying software being developed

  8. 1955 Ed. WMO Pub 47 • 1955-1972 (15 volumes; 2920 pages) • Keying format developed • 1st pilot test produced 1972 Ed.

  9. Additional Marine Data Collections • NOS tide station data – 152 stations along the US coast and Caribbean Sea – daily reading of air temperature, water temperature and density (1887-1995) • Fisheries deck log data from SeaCat Bongo cruises (1985-2000; 32,958 records) • Lightship Observations: • NCDC holdings ( 14 lightships; 1936-1983 ) • NARA holdings (1891-1971) • Simultaneous Meteorological Observations on Ships (1874-1902)

  10. NOS Shoreline Charts Approximately 75% of the 14,000 T-Sheets have been vectorized The vector data are accessible from the NOAA Shoreline Data Explorer web site:http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/newsys_ims/shoreline/index.cfmThe raster data are available from the IMC Coastal Data Explorer web site:http://coastalexplorer.imcwv.com/

  11. Early European Ship Logbooks • Workshop at NCDC in Aug 2004 • UK & Other European Collections • Determine what is available • Identify funding • Image and keying • Quality Control and merging
