6. OSMC (meta)database What is the “climate data record”? Current (meta)data (“realtime”) Current (meta)data (“realtime”) – GTS -- primary source Historical (meta)data Historical (meta)data – poorly integrated – need “DMAC” integration – for now … use a GTS archive (misses e.g. NOAA research cruises)

7. OSMC (meta)database at NDBC Met and Ocean surface data are updated daily with GODAE “T-files” (06, 12, 18, 24) from the previous day ~350 MB of data per day Met and Ocean surface data are updated daily with GODAE “T-files” (06, 12, 18, 24) from the previous day ~350 MB of data per day URL=http://usgodae2.fnmoc.navy.mil/ftp/outgoing/fnmoc/data/met/2005031706.tar.Z http://usgodae2.fnmoc.navy.mil/ftp/outgoing/fnmoc/data/met/2005031706.tar.Z Updates applied to NDBC-hosted time series metadata from NDBC system Updates applied to NDBC-hosted time series metadata from NDBC system Ship call sign info from the WMO Pub 47 Ship call sign info from the WMO Pub 47

10. OSMC Database – Entity Diagram Country is based on ISO 3166, which defines unique 2-character identifiers for each country Organization identifies an agency, institute, university, or private company that owns or operates a reporting platform Platform identifies a ship, drifting buoy, moored buoy station, or other platform that reports marine data Observation records the instance of a marine observation for a reporting date and time.

38. OSMC LAS The OSMC doesn’t look like a Live Access Server … but it is (Shown is the more traditional LAS user interface)

39. “Adopt-a-Drifter” is another specialized user interface to the same OSMC server

40. Ready for integration into NVODS, DMAC, and IOOS

42. Next steps Wire it together robustly (It is not as mature as it appears) Wire it together robustly (It is not as mature as it appears) Improve performance Improve performance User interface make-over (w/Todd Pearce ) User interface make-over (w/Todd Pearce ) Full support for profile data Full support for profile data Bring NGDC/NOSA GIS efforts into the partnership Bring NGDC/NOSA GIS efforts into the partnership

43. Next steps (database) Improve Meta-data quantity and quality Improve Meta-data quantity and quality – Eliminate “Not Defined” platforms Further coordinate with JCOMM OPS Further coordinate with JCOMM OPS – Add organization URLs Expand data sources Expand data sources – Carbon Data – NOAA High Resolution Ship Data (FSU) – Repeat Lines, Ocean Reference Stations, …

44. and after that … Other types of data (biochem, fisheries, …) Other types of data (biochem, fisheries, …) IOOS/DMAC integration (satellites, models, GIS, …) IOOS/DMAC integration (satellites, models, GIS, …) Quality control metadata Quality control metadata Expanded evaluation metrics Expanded evaluation metrics to be guided by community input …
