Data Management: Products and Procedures for August 2007 Cruises Bill Howe

2 Vision Communications On-Board Tools for August Cast Protocol Addendum Supporting Materials –Training for On-Board Tools –Cruise Manual Topics

3 Towards a Higher-Value Data Inventory Claim: The scientific value of the CMOP data inventory scales with the number of products that stakeholders can find, interpret, and use. Goal: Earn an economy of scale for development of new products and ensembles that support specific science tasks … … rather than seek an all-purpose interface that attempts to meet all needs of all users

4 Towards a Higher-Value Data Inventory 1.Build product “factories” to automate repetitive development tasks 2.Deliver modular, reusable products One product definition used in many contexts and ensembles 3.Augment static images with interactive capabilities One product definition leads to many specific products e.g., adjustable time range

5 Communications SWAP network products –ship-to-shore –shore-to-ship –by transitivity: ship-to-ship cell phones

6 SWAP Network; collaboration of: - OSU - OHSU - UNOLS Challenges for Real-time Two-way Telemetry

8 Roadmap for Ubiquitous Information Two dynamic, factory-powered interfaces –Cast Dashboard –Cruise Mapper Two standard product suites (forecasts, cruises) New factory under development for sophisticated predictions, informed by scientific needs 1.Can we predict or identify in real time the location of the ETMs in the North Channel, South Channel and mouth? 2.Can we predict or identify in real time the location of the plume front at specific times during specific days? 3.Can we predict or identify in real time the location of upwelling fronts? 4.Can we calculate residence times of water under different conditions? …more Thanks to Byron Status for August Charles Seaton is preparing products to answer these questions
