15 The Five Priorities for IOOS Implementation ) Complete implementing the global component 2) Initiate development of the DMAC subsystem 3) Initiate development of the Modeling & Analysis subsystem 4) Establish IOOS Regional Associations & begin building RCOOSs 5) Begin phased implementation of the national backbone 15
16 (1) Global Ocean Component Remote Sensing Sustain Continuity of Space Based Observations Ø Water level & sea surface temperature, currents, waves, ocean color Enhance Space Based Observations Ø Sea surface salinity 16
17 (1) Global Ocean Component In Situ Observations Ø Full implementation Argo profiling float array Water level network Tropical buoy arrays Surface drifter array VOS lines [> 50% implemented as of December 2006] Ø Transition successful elements of GODAE to an operational mode Ø Enhance ocean time series observatories key biological & chemical sensors 17
18 (2) DMAC DMAC Steering Team Completed the DMAC Plan in 2004 Approved in 2005 following extensive peer review Road Map for implementing interoperable mechanisms that enable Ø Rapid access to diverse data Ø From many different sources 18
19 (3) Initiate a modeling & analysis effort that will Improve, develop, test & validate operational models for all seven societal goals; Produce more accurate & comprehensive estimates of current states of the marine environment, ecosystems & living resources; Improve, develop & apply data assimilation techniques to initialize & update models for more accurate forecasts of state changes; & Optimize the observing subsystem to achieve these objectives 19
20 (3) Modeling & Analysis Steering Team (MAST) Established September 2006 to Promote improvements in existing operational models Enable development of operational modeling capabilities in goal areas where none now exist Engage Federal Agencies, RAs & other stakeholders in developing the modeling & analysis subsystem 20
21 (3) Mission of MAST Prepare & implement a 5 Year Strategic Plan for Achieving the Following Objectives: Enhance collaboration between operational & research modeling groups Establish & maintain an inventory of operational & research modeling capabilities relevant to addressing the 7 societal goals Assess performance & skill of existing & emerging operational capabilities in terms of user needs & recommend improvements Develop community consensus for a research agenda that will help improve operational modeling capabilities Facilitate transitions of models & model improvements from research to operational use Assess & recommend improvements to the observing & DMAC subsystems through the use of test beds & OSSEs/OSEs Explore the use & efficacy of community modeling approaches as a mechanism for achieving these objectives Work with the NOPP, Federal Agencies & other groups as appropriate to attract the required funding 21
