Overview CIOSS Introduction STAR Organization General Research Focus & Priorities Changes in ORA/STAR Connection to NOAA and NESDIS (NSIS)

Cooperative Institute for Oceanographic Studies (CIOSS) Mission: To develop, improve and evaluate methods of ocean remote sensing and ocean-atmosphere modeling Focus and research areas: Basic research in ocean, atmosphere, and marine ecosystem dynamics; applications of basic research to the management of living and non-living resources within the coastal and open oceans; contributions to ocean observing and modeling systems through the evaluation of plans for future satellite systems and models; satellite sensors and techniques; ocean-atmosphere fields and fluxes; ocean-atmosphere models and data assimilation; ocean-atmosphere analyses; outreach

NSIS & ORA Science into Operations Increased efficiency SPSRB Processes Increased capability Support increasing user requirements Changing paradigm Requirements driven (CORL/MORL) Priority based Performance metrics Changing infrastructure (IT and test environments)

Coordinating Scientific Research Set priorities for each year’s proposals Work closely with CI’s to support NSIS needs and requirements Review user requirements Actively plan paths to the future Focus on applying research to operational needs
