PO.DAAC Science Roadmap Tasked to create a near-term ( 5 years) science roadmap for PO.DAAC. For a roadmap to be created, the following questions need to be addressed: What are the directions of the Space Geodesy, Ocean Surface Topography, Sea Surface Temperature, Salinity, and Ocean Winds programs, and what challenges are these programs facing or are foreseen to face in the future? How can PO.DAAC align to support these activities and address the challenges to benefit users?

NASA Physical Oceanography Foreseen Directions (E. Lindstrom) Near- ( 5 years): More airborne platforms and field campaigns Potential Approach: Develop in-house expertise? Big data – issues in downlink, storage, and distribution (e.g., SWOT – 1 TB/day) Potential Approach: Take processing/analysis to the data (e.g., cloud computing)? Increasing interest in coastal and inland waters Potential Approach: Develop in-house expertise? Creation of tools/services to address coastal needs? Seamlessness from small to large-scale and from observations to models Potential Approach: Creation of tools/services to assemble data with different scales? Data assimilating models? Interdisciplinary science – air-sea, land-sea, and air-land interactions Potential Approach: Mindset change within NASA and NASA DAACs? Sharing services between DAACs and other agencies (e.g., THREDDS, Opendap)? Common data formats among agencies? An on demand data format conversion tool? Role of climate models – how do we manage and participate or should we? Potential Approach: Creation/participation in reanalysis products and climate data records?
