13 Coastal Intelligence Defined Consists of observations, measurements, models, monitoring, assessment, analysis, and the forecasts, tools, products and services derived from these sources. How NOS delivers timely, actionable information, developed from reliable and authoritative science, to provide insight into present and future conditions in the coastal zone. A network of end-to-end capabilities that references, describes and informs decisions which affect public safety, coastal community resilience, our economy and sustainable use of the environment. 13

Thank you." - Maine Fisherman; "Love your service…I believe your service is a lifesaver. Thanks!" -Dave, Pilot; "I would like you to know that information you are providing us not only aids us in our work, it almost certainly has saved lives."-Roy Atkinson, Fisherman.

FY14-15 Joint Activities and Milestones 17 ActivityMilestone Integration of Geospatial Data for a Multitude of Uses  Transitioning integration of acoustic Doppler currents observations with High Frequency Radar products into operations (CO-OPS, IOOS)  Improving data and web map service delivery so that NOS data/map services can more readily be ingested into tools for multi-sector decision-making (All)  Using the IOOS Coastal and Ocean Modeling Testbed (COMT) to accelerate the transition of advances from the coastal ocean modeling research community into improved operational products and services (IOOS, OCS) Recapitalization of Existing Observing System Infrastructure for Readiness and Resilience  Establishing "Coastal Inundation Benchmarks" in partnership with other NOAA, Sea Grant, USGS, FEMA to provide local education and training (CO-OPS, NGS, IOOS, CSC)  Publishing the National Glider Network Plan to augment in situ subsurface observations with this cost- effective near-real time solution for ecosystem and water quality forecasting, hurricane prediction, climate change assessments and other applications (IOOS, OCS, CO-OPS, NCCOS)  Integration of IOOS observing system assets into PORTS and other maritime commerce decision support tools (CO-OPS, IOOS) Maximizing Utility of NOAA’s Coastal Intelligence Data for Decision Support  Participate in development of a national modeling strategy in support of National Ocean Policy Implementation Plan action (All)  Developing and delivering two new or improved models to strengthen the Operational Nowcast and Forecast Hydrodynamic Model System for maritime commerce and coastal zone management applications (OCS, CO-OPS, IOOS)  Improving NWS’ capacity to deliver easily understandable storm surge warnings to localities and the general public by working together on graphics, terminology and media partnerships that more effectively conveys meaningful above ground flooding information (CO-OPS, OCS, IOOS)

FY16 Joint Activities 18 ActivityActionImpact Data Integration to Close Geospatial Data Gaps and Use Data Collected by Others Integrate critical ocean observing parameters from non-NOS sources that meet quality assurance/quality control standards. Fill data sparse locations with data collected by non-NOAA entities. Utilize non-NOAA data to improve NOS products and services. Improve NOS products and services at lower incremental cost by leveraging assets of others. Advance the seamless integration of geospatial data for a multitude of other coastal uses, including more efficient hydrographic surveying and shoreline mapping, and habitat restoration planning. Enhancing and Recapitalizing NOAA Coastal Observing Systems for Readiness and Resilience Expand capabilities of existing coastal observing and reference systems infrastructure. Assess feasibility of next-generation observing technologies to serve as force multipliers. Recapitalize key assets of NOAA Navigation Response Teams and High Frequency Radar network. Targeted investments ensure specific assets continue to cost effectively support key NOAA safety and commerce missions, and provide data and observations for coastal uses of all kinds. (HFR) Maximizing Utility of NOAA’s Coastal Intelligence Data for Maritime Commerce Risk Reduction and Long Term Decision Support Improve inundation, Vertical Datum transformation and ecological forecast models. Develop an underkeel clearance modeling tool. Enhance hazardous material response tools such as the Environmental Response Management Application and Environmental Sensitivity Index maps. Provide geodetic expertise to all states and regions. Develop an early warning system for forecast and predict long-term risks to human health throughout the U.S. coastal and Great Lakes waters Better NOAA products and services improve situational awareness for mariners, first responders, coastal managers and public safety officials (among others) on navigation issues, storm surge and dangerous inundation events, harmful algal blooms and pathogens that pose risk to human health, and hazardous material spills. Commercial mariners benefit from reduced underkeel clearance margins of error to enter/exit port safely with increased cargo loads. Regional climate services provide trends such as sea-level rise and water quality indicators.

19 Next Steps at IOOS Spring Meeting We are planning a session with all of the Directors and Deputies from the four offices within the Navigation, Observations, and Positioning budget structure Objectives: Directors from NOS offices and IOOS Regions meet and greet Increase understanding of program intersections and opportunities to collaborate Start discussions of a few activities and milestones we can work on together What can you do? Review the FY14-15 and FY16 activities slides in this presentation Consider your Regional capabilities and activities Identify areas of integration or joint planning you would like to see related to these lists 19
