AIP-6 Kickoff: Water SBA Breakout March 28–29, 2013 NOAA, Silver Spring, MD David Arctur University of Texas at Austin

Water SBA Breakout – Attendees GWS – D. Arctur, A. Couch, J. Nelson, B. Teng, M. Hertzfeld CNR/MEDINA – S. Nativi, M. Santoro GeoViQua – J. Maso GMU – Genong “Eugene” Yu CITI-SENSE – ?? Esri – Dan Zimble GLOS – not at kickoff, but would be member

Water SBA Breakout – General Discussion 1 Mature AIP-5 –GWS: improve GCI integration with water service portals –Esri, CNR: Test interoperability of GEO DAB, ArcGIS Online, and other portals –GeoViQua: Improve user feedback system –GMU: improve drought monitoring User Requirements –GWS: gather hydrology community req’ts, apply to portal GUI design –GeoViQua: improve the capture and application of user feedback Use of GCI: New elements, alterations –GWS: make a catalog federation framework with DAB –GWS: simplify registration and discovery processes –GWS: externalize controlled vocabulary server and promote a standard internationalization SKOS server

Water SBA Breakout – General Discussion 2 Ministerial Summit demo proposals –Drought scenario –Flood scenario –Biodiversity & human interaction scenario –Crowdsourcing for air quality/health info Data Sharing (authentication, licensing, etc) –CUAHSI will host an authentication broker that other GWS partners can use easily, and that interfaces well with GCI –Esri will improve ArcGIS Online capability to work with GCI, brokers, and authentication More in-situ observations –GWS, CITI-SENSE, MEDINA, GeoViQua Involvement of Developing Countries / Capacity Building –GWS, MEDINA

Water SBA Breakout – Scenarios Overall: Water SBA teams are providing data and model results that could be valuable to Disaster Management SBA teams and products GEOSS Water Services –Flood & drought real-time monitoring, prediction –Catchment or other aggregations of sensors & time series GMU –Flooding occurrence and duration; crop loss assessment; insurance rates –Drought monitor CITI-SENSE –Crowd-source; air quality reporting; in situ observations MEDINA –Posidonia oceanica algae (seagrass) infestation forecast model –Bio / chem / physical inputs –Societal benefits: prediction of seagrass infestation on beaches; hypoxia potential; fisheries impacts GeoViQua / MEDINA –Agriculture and biodiversity / ecosystem sustainability

Water SBA Breakout – Coordination Biweekly telecons of all water projects –Coordinate use cases, inputs, outputs –(doodle poll to pick weekday and time) GeoViQua twiki registration AIP_Water list registration (important!) AIP_Plenary list registration (important!)

Define Success (Conclusions) How will we know when we’re done? –We can search GEOSS for time series of soil moisture, precipitation, stream flow and get a federated map of the results
