Integrated and Sustained Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Chris Mooers RSMAS/UM and IOOS - MAST Chair CIOSS-NOAA Shallow Water Altimetry WS 5 to 7 FEB 08

OUTLINE IOOS introduction, especially the Modeling and Analysis Steering Team (MAST) (charge, members, general needs, and “passions”) IOOS Regional Associations (RAs) and “operational” Regional Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (RCOOSs) RCOOS modeling and related requirements

AN IOOS GOAL STATEMENT Provide ocean state estimation on a continuing, robust, reliable, resilient basis to support –Marine Emergency Management –Maritime Operations –Stewardship of Marine Living and Non-Living Resources in the Presence of Natural and Anthropogenic Global Change, in order to Sustain and Enhance Economic Development, Marine Ecosystems, and National Security NOTE: requires simulation, detection, prediction, attribution, and mitigation capabilities

IOOS COMPONENTS National Backbone of Operational Observations National Backbone of Operational Model Products Global Ocean –NCEP –NAVO –CPO/OAR Coastal Ocean (EEZ) –CSDL/CO-OPS –11 Regional Associations (RAs) and their Regional Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (RCOOSs)

IOOS integrates: Observing (satellite & in situ) subsystems Modeling (numerical) subsystems Information management (Web-based) subsystems Multiple scales Multiple disciplines Multiple agencies Multiple sectors All links in a “user-driven” information system Operations and R&D (???)

MAST Charge (21 NOV 06) (1) enhance the collaboration between operational and research modeling groups at both national and regional levels (3) assess adequacy of model performance and skill of emerging research and operational modeling systems (4) develop a community consensus for a research agenda to achieve operational capabilities (8) develop a 5-yr action plan and budget for MAST (9) work with NOPP, etc. to attract needed funding

RCOOS “operational model” types needed for the Coastal Ocean (i.e., semi-enclosed seas, continental margins, estuaries, and Great Lakes)

RCOOS model needs (continued) 3D coastal ocean (baroclinic) circulation 2D/3DLagrangian trajectory and dispersion 2D/3D storm surge/inundation Tide Surface gravity waves NPZD etc. ecosystem, fisheries, etc. Sediment transport Ice dynamics Biogeochemical, bio-optical, bio-acoustic, etc. Mesoscale atmospheric

RCOOS circulation model forcing needs Hi-res, accurate bottom topography Mesoscale atmospheric forcing Tidal forcing Runoff forcing (weakest now) Open boundary forcing Surface waves Typically, 1 hr temporal res., 1 km horizontal res., and 10 m (non-uniform) vertical res. Experiments are needed to determine adequacy of the forcing in terms of coastal ocean response

RCOOS circulation model verification/data assimilation data needs Sea surface temperature, winds, pressure, etc. time series (NDBC buoys and C-MAN stations) and maps (satellite IR and NWP) Horizontal velocity vertical profiles (NDBC buoys & RCOOSs (???)) Horizontal velocity (& directional wave spectra (?)) surface maps from coastal HF-radar (RCOOSs) Surface (USCG and ???) and subsurface drifters (???) Sea surface salinity time series and maps (?) Coastal sea level time series (CO-OPS tide gauges) Temperature and salinity vertical profiles (gliders (RCOOSs (???)) Sea surface height field (satellite radar altimetry (?))

RCOOS special skill assessment needs The quality of the velocity, temperature, and salinity open boundary conditions provided in downscaling from basin or global ocean models to the coastal ocean needs focused and sustained skill assessment The coastal ocean is significantly externally forced but also has internal dynamics and, hence, “ocean weather” (viz., mesoscale eddies, fronts, and meandering jets) for which there is a forecast skill challenge

RCOOS Physical Information Transfer to Ecosystem Models or Modelers Many ecosystem applications require Lagrangian transport and dispersion estimates Other applications require basic characterization of physical habitats (temperature, salinity, currents, and turbulence time series of maps) However, the perceived need is for 100 m or much finer resolution = non-hydrostatic models

MAST’s “Passions” Improve transition process from R&D to operations –Community-based for buy-in –Testbeds (sustained) –Experiments, jointly between R&D and OPS

MAST “PASSIONS” (continued) Establish program of rigorous OSEs & OSSEs for observing system design Establish program of re-analyses for diagnostic studies Establish model output archival hierarchy Establish updatable model inventory (for users of varied levels of sophistication) Establish model skill assessment standards (based on not just statistics but also on phenomenology)

RCOOS/IOOS needs Consistent and long-term funding Concept-of-Operations (CONOPS): to define functions, roles and responsibilities, resource and management issues, etc.; to identify “marine weather forecasters” (i.e., “super users”); Etc. Series of combined field and numerical, regional scale prediction experiments, conducted jointly between R&D and OPS personnel to quantify capability and errors in the context of application requirements Education of needed human resources for OPS and R&D Facilitation of rapid advances in modeling and scientific understanding by the R&D community
