U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Enabling decision making every day; Fostering advances in science and technology

U.S. IOOS: Program Overview 2 Enables decision making and science WHO: WHY: 7 Societal Goals, 1 System Predictions of climate change and weather Safety and efficiency of maritime operations Forecasts of natural hazards Improve homeland security Minimize public health risks Protect and restore healthy coastal ecosystems Sustain living marine resources WHAT: –Observation –Data Management –Modeling & Analysis –Research & Development –Education –Management & Governance WHERE: Global Coastal (EEZ to head of tide)

National Science Foundation – Ocean Observatories Initiative 6

Stakeholders Operated by 30 institutions under IOOS Who Depends on it USCG Search and Rescue Oil spill response Water quality Criminal forensics Commercial marine navigation Offshore energy Harmful algal bloom warnings Marine fisheries Emerging - Maritime Domain Awareness Emerging - Tsunami prediction U.S. IOOS - High Frequency Radar Network 7 Search area decreased 66% in 96 hours

Global HF Radar Network 35 Countries with HF Radar for oceanographic purposes

High Frequency Radar Network (HFRNet) Global Partnerships Continental U.S.A. Australia South Korea Canada Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Is. Hawaiian Is. Spain Mexico

Glider Missions 10 Climate/Ecosystem/Fisheries Management/Water Quality Hurricane Forecasting Response to Oil Spill The SoCal Niño Index CalCOFI Fish Tracking HAB Deep Water HorizonAlaska

US IOOS - Gliderpalooza 15 gliders 15 Partners: –Ocean Tracking Network, Canada; –9 U.S. Universities –Teledyne Webb Research Corporation –State Agency –National: IOOS, NOAA, US Navy and NASA >25,000 profiles to date – NOAA’s Buoy Center sent data to the Global Telecommunications Systems (GTS)

U.S. National Profiling Glider Network 12 V2 out soon Profiling Gliders deployed!
