  12. Ocean Remote Sensing, June 30, 2006 FY06 MilestonesOct 1 to Jun 30 Milestones (Planned =13); Completed = 10 FY06 Corporate Performance Measures G Y Green = Performance Met Yellow = Performance Discrepancy Blue = No Performance Expected Red = Performance Achieved Ahead of Schedule Green = Performance Met G Budget / Funding FY2006 Y Key Issues / Risks / Variances Issues – Delay in transition for primary productivity research product online for public evaluation. -MSG SST implementation delayed due to setup procedures. -FY2C SST Canceled due to irresolvable calibration issues. Risks – Variances – 2.14%Unexpected data management expenditures.

  13. Ocean Remote Sensing (part 2) • Performance Measures • Annually, maintain the quality of NOAA operational satellite ocean remote sensing products for 100% of NOAA’s operational satellite ocean remote sensing data streams. • MOBY has completed eighth year as the primary vicarious calibration source for ocean color satellite data • Two GOES and two POES SST sensors were calibrated and maintained. • 21 satellite ocean color products transitioned to operations. • 20 SST products transitioned to operational demonstration status. • Annually, develop one new, or improved, technique, algorithm, product, service for satellite ocean remote sensing. • Developed new high-resolution landmask for Coral Reef Watch products (3/06) • Launched Coral Reef Watch gridded data product suite (3/06) • Blended GOES-POES SST Analysis running and being validated (6/06) • Coral Bleaching Forecast System now in development (6/06) • Milestones • Establish NOAA CoastWatch East Coast Node. • Completed June 16, 2006. Launch date scheduled for June 29, 2006. • Establish China CoastWatch. • Completed Phase 1. • Implement MSG SSTs as pre-operational. Delayed. • Delayed until September 2006. Awaiting OSDPD setup. • Implement FY2-C SSTs as a new experimental geostationary data stream. • Canceled. We will not be generating SSTs from this satellite. OSDPD will not ingest this data due to bad calibration problems on the IR channels that cannot be resolved. FY2-D is due for launch in the Fall of 2006. If the calibration is good, OSDPD will ingest the data and this will allow SST generation. • GOES Front product transitioned to operational demonstration status. • Completed June 15, 2006.. • Validate wave state products. • Completed June 2006. Wave state software delivered and product validated with buoy data. • Demonstration of ALOS PALSAR L-band imagery for sea ice mapping at NIC. • Completed June 5, 2006. Variance Funding (K) • Unexpected data management expenditures.

  14. OceanWatch: HAB Forecast1 ORS Support for NOAA’s Operational HAB Forecasting System - June 2006 CEO/Transition Board Quarterly Update G Overview of Transition Project G Transition Schedule (FY2006) Name of Transition Project Team Lead: Kent Hughes, NOAA CoastWatch Program Manager and/or Acting Chief Satellite Oceanography and Climatology Division (NESDIS/ORA). Purpose:To build and operate sustainable unified operational ocean remote sensing processing capabilities for developmental and operational data streams to provide near-real time satellite ocean remote sensed data, products, and services to the user community from select national and international satellites including operational ocean color, ocean winds, sea surface temperature, and sea surface height, globally. Requirements2: Operational satellite ocean remote sensing support for the National Harmful Algal Bloom Forecast System has been requested by the National Ocean Service.  Several types of sea surface temperature and ocean color products types have been specified  -- existing and new -- for the Gulf Coast, Great Lakes, West Coast and East Coast, resolutions at least 1.1 km, and refreshed at least 12 hours after overpass.  More detailed technical requirements are available. Green = Performance Met Yellow = Performance Discrepancy Blue = No Performance Expected Red = Performance Achieved Ahead of Schedule Transition Projects Costs (HAB – 2006) G G Key Issues / Risks • Issues/Risks: • Continuity of access for upcoming satellites. • Insufficient funding for increase of staff in out years. • Insufficient funding for operational costs after transition. • Insufficient funding for other satellite data sources. • Mitigation: • Develop access to ocean color foreign satellites. • Establish robust funding for operational satellite product processing. Costs associated with project: 1 – “OceanWatch” is the Transition to Applications concept to support the ORS connectivity to the IOOS national backbone. 2 – Requirements developed with Rick Stumpf, NOS.

  15. CoastWatch East Coast Node Completed: June 16, 2006. Website online w/ public access, data pulling and remapping and available for one week straight. Dedication event planned for June 29.

  16. NOAA’S COASTWATCH PROGRAM OPENS EAST COAST NODE • NOAA's CoastWatch program celebrated an important milestone on Thursday, June 29, when it opened the East Coast Node located at the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office in Annapolis. • The new node, which is one of six nodes nationwide, provides data from multiple satellites including sea surface temperature, ocean surface winds, and chlorophyll-a levels and makes them available via the internet. • Scientists, resource managers and fishermen use the data to forecast atmospheric events, predict harmful algal blooms, and study fish and marine mammal distribution along the eastern seaboard of the United States.

  17. Validation of SAR Wave State Calculations Software to determine significant wave height from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data has been developed by General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems for NESDIS/STAR. Wave heights generated by this software have been compared with coincident NOAA buoy measurements from NDBC buoy 46029 located off the Columbia River, just off the coast of Oregon. Root Mean Square Errors are 1.1 m with wave heights varying between 0.5 m and 8 m. Other buoys will be added to this validation data set and additional quality screening tests will be developed to fully evaluate this potential new SAR-derived product.

  18. Bayesian SST Products 1) 2) SST before Cloud Mask Applied 3) • Bayesian SST Product Benefit • Conventional GOES SST uses threshold based cloud masks. • Product before Bayesian cloud mask. • Bayesian probabilistic cloud mask is applied, resulting in more SSTs and increased structure. • Operational June 15, 2006.

  19. Surface Vector Winds WorkshopJune 5-7, 2006, Tropical Hurricane Center, Miami, FLDrs Paul Chang and Zorana Jelenak • The meeting pulled together a broad spectrum of folks representing the operational weather forecasting community, the research community and the remote-sensing engineers, including NWS forecasting centers, many NWS Regions, and the DoD’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center. • A clear outcome of the workshop was that current and planned satellite ocean surface vector wind missions do not meet the requirements of NOAA's operational community. • It was abundantly clear that much has been learned and much has changed over the past decade with respect to satellite surface vector wind requirements in operational weather forecasting. • Additional details such as the workshop agenda and presentations are available at http://manati.orbit.nesdis.noaa.gov/SVW_nextgen/
