Knowledge Transfer: Software for Ocean Observatories

Result: National InteroperabilityEx: OpenIOOS Salinity Map [3] [3]

Result: Access to CMOP and NANOOS dataEx: Real-time Water Quality Data for Shellfish Growers [4]

Result: PySOS downloaded and installed worldwide:Ex: Gaving Fleming, Mintek: water quality in Krugersdorp, South AfricaEx: Gaving Fleming, Mintek: water quality in Krugersdorp, South Africa

• Howe developed PySOS [1,2] software for disseminating oceanographic observations via community standards.

• Software and associated tools released to the community.

• Multiple installations around the world

NANOOS and CMOP share a challenge: Data Interoperability
