Improve safety
A tool that will enable the Nation to track, predict, manage and adapt to changes in our marine environment and deliver
critical information to decision makers to…
Enhance our economy Protect our environment

– Implementation of national data standards
– Products transitioned to other regions and to National operations
– Sensor validation/verification
The Components of IOOS®
3 Subsystems– Observations– Data Management &
Communications– Modeling &
Assessment
2 Cross Cuts– Research and
Development– Education

Warming ocean waterexpands, leading to
Sea Level Rise
Measuring Ocean Temperature with buoys, ships, Argo
profiling floats, and satellites

The Benefits: Mitigate the Effects of Natural Hazards

Hurricane Katrina - 2005
Coastal storms account for 71% of recent U.S. disaster losses annually. With an average of 14 events each year, = $7 billion loss per year.
The Benefits: Reduce Public Health Risks
10
Orbimage - SeaWiFS
Pollutants from storm water runoff can result in public beach closures
Increasing warning of harmful algal blooms (HABS) increases the options for managing these events
The Benefits: Energy Sector
11
• Pre -Construction– Avian Studies– Geophysical/Geotechnial
Investigations– Met Tower Installation– Wave Sensor Deployment– Staging Port Development
• Construction– Foundation Installation– Sub-sea Electrical Cable Installation– Offshore Substation Installation – Turbine Installation
• Post-Construction– O&M Activities; Decommissioning
Collaboration: IOOS Oil & Gas Industry
12
Partnership: Oil and gas companies provide data to the National Data Buoy Center to advance observational quantity, quality and diversity to improve operational forecasts and understanding of the Gulf of Mexico environment, particularly during tropical storms season.

Board Composition
AcademicPrivate
GOVEducation/Outreach
• Obtain accurate bathymetry and topography with consistent vertical control between data sets in the coastal zones, including locations of shorelines
• Improve coverage of real-time currents in the coastal zone and navigable estuaries using HF radars as the primary technologies; improve forecasts of surface currents offshore; Produce reliable forecasts and maps of 3D currents off shore
• Improve real-time, offshore meteorological measurements• Improve forecasts & nowcasts of sea level, winds, waves; need additional OBS• Improve monitoring, forecasts and dissemination of hurricane severity & severe wx • Enhance measurements of water quality parameters• Modern, real-time current and water level observing system in all major ports• Establish coastal storm surge/inundation maps for mitigation planning (not real-time)• Improve real-time forecasts of coastal inundation • Improve information on and forecast visibility• Increase number of stations monitoring Harmful Algal Blooms• Improve data and product dissemination techniques taking into account the
sophistication of the user
