  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

  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)
