  1. Results of the Regional Products Survey Aric Bickel – IOOSA/CeNCOOS

  2. Overview • Reasons for the survey and our methodologies • A discussion of the results • Limitations • General Observations • Comments from the RA directors • A brief look at the short listed categories • Open floor for questions and discussion

  3. Reason for the survey • A snap shot of the products RAs are developing and offering • A tool for looking at what are common/complementary products between the RAs • An idea of products that may serve as examples to build off of for common national or super regional products • A chance to provide some feedback on how easily/clearly the products the RAs are creating can be found/used/understood • Future potential

  4. Methodology • Survey of all 11 RA websites • The creation of a categorized spreadsheet with the results • Conversations with all of the RA directors to get their feedback and additions to the spreadsheet

  5. Discussion of the Results • Limitations • “Under representation” of RAs that have large integrated products (usually portals) • Timeframe • Exclusion of partner products • Limited time with the directors (and little input sought from the data managers/developers)

  6. The Spreadsheet

  7. General Observations • Heavy in marine operations • A lot of Cross-Cutting • Data Portals • User need focused • Variance between RAs • Discoverability

  8. Director Comments • Product that integrates all the data streams they have • Focus on products that span as many regions as possible • Integrated water quality and climatology product seems to be among stakeholder needs(2). • Rip current prediction product (i.e. something that strongly appeals to a number of user groups) • Keep clearly in mind the end users and develop something that all of the RAs can develop a common outreach plan for

  9. Director Comments • Common severe weather/extreme event product • A ubiquitous issue for the RAs • Support for trajectories, inundation, and climatology products (with some detractors) • Private sector competition • Whether through this initiative or not, there is a need for federal assistance in developing inundation products • Possible legal complications with inundation products

  10. Short Listed Categories • Inundation products • Climatologies • Model visualization/comparison • Model trajectories • [National single variable visualization] • (Others)

  11. Inundation • Coastal Flooding and Erosion Forecast • Northeast Coastal Ocean Forecast System • High Sea Level Forecasts • Sea Level Models

  12. Climatologies • Jobos Bay Climatologies • Oasis Mooring Temperature • Ocean and Weather Climate Display • Monthly Satellite Climatologies • CDIP Buoy Data • Virtual Columbia River

  13. Model Visualizations and Comparisons • Model Explorer • Model Assessment Tool • HOPS Realtime Forecast • Wave & Waterlevel Forecast/Observation Viewer • ROMS Compare Forecasts • CDIP Recent Observations • Model Gallery • Model Data in Portal • NVS Maritime Ops • MyMARACOOS Fishing

  14. Model Trajectories • ROMS trajectories • Particle Trajectories • Drop-a-drifter • Drop-a-drifter 2

  15. Questions and Discussion
