OSMC background Database of data and metadata (“realtime”) GTS -- primary source Data begins in June, million observations from 40K platforms Console to provide monitoring of sensors and platforms scientific adequacy of observations

OSMC Main console

All measurements for two days

Drifter measurements for May

May drifters with tails

Salinity measurements, by country

Tropical buoys measuring SST

Tropical buoys colored by SST value

Situation: A scientist that is developing an ocean model Would like to compare model with in situ observations for evaluation First up: Drifter data

Situation: A scientist that is developing an ocean model Would like to compare model with other models AND in situ observations to help validate First up: Drifter data Next up: Argo data First up: Drifter data

Limited data discovery/exploration notification required Access via ftp only Varying file formats – ARGO-specific netcdf – ASCII files Interoperability Barriers

Situation: A scientist that is developing an ocean model Would like to compare model with other models AND in situ observations to help validate Next up: Argo data First up: Drifter data Next up: Argo data Finally: GHRSST data

What is integrated data and metadata? – Discoverable Requires quality metadata – Accessible Through multiple services (OPeNDAP, WMS, etc) Without downloading For in situ data abitlity to access “collections” of observations, not just individual profiles, cruise tracks, etc – Understandable Conforms to standards and conventions Application agnostic For both humans AND machines

FY12 – provide access to: – OSMC database realtime stream – OceanSITES mooring data from NDBC – SOT-XBT data via the Global Temperature and Salinity Profile Program (GTSPP) FY13 and beyond – Published SOCAT surface CO2 data collection – UH Sea level Center – Tropical mooring data from PMEL and NBDC – Delayed mode Argo profile data from US ARGO GDAC – SAMOS cruise observations – Surface drifter data – Emerging platforms (wave gliders, pinnipeds, etc) OSMC Plans
