2. OSMC background Database of data and metadata (“realtime”) GTS -- primary source Data begins in June, 2004 800 million observations from 40K platforms Console to provide monitoring of sensors and platforms scientific adequacy of observations

3. OSMC Main console

4. All measurements for two days

5. Drifter measurements for May

6. May drifters with tails

7. Salinity measurements, by country

8. Tropical buoys measuring SST

9. Tropical buoys colored by SST value

10. Tropical buoys colored by SST anomaly

11. Reynolds SST bias underlay

26. GTS OSMC Monitoring

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

34. 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

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

39. 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

51. 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

52. 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
