(Besides additional financial resources) For example, are there actions that NOAA or other federal agencies could take to assist? 4 Current Status: Products Level One Minimal processing Products Level Two Value-added Model RT Decision RT Data Outputs Satellite Data Support Maps Time Series Ecosystem/Climate Trends Water Quality Marine Operations Coastal Hazards Directions: Place an “x” in boxes that best describe the kinds of products being developed for the focus areas. See RA Presentation guidelines for terms 5 Current Status: Product Examples Directions: Decision-makers (Congress, OMB, etc) want to know what IOOS is accomplishing in terms that they can understand. Provide 1-3 of what you considered to be your most compelling user products (i.e., Level 2 products). Examples: • • • Provide notification to the shellfish industry on possible outbreaks of harmful algal blooms so they can avoid risks to public health Provide benthic mapping to coastal managers in support of climate change preparedness Provide “one-stop-shopping” to commercial mariners on ocean and weather conditions, These will help us make the case for IOOS.

Color code: X# if funded exclusively by NOAA IOOS funds; X if combination of NOAA IOOS funds and other; X is non-NOAA IOOS funds 7 Current Status: Modeling and DMAC subsystems Modeling* Region-wide** Sub-region Not at all Atmospheric Circulation Inundation Wave Hydrological Sediment transport Water Quality/Ecosystem Fisheries DMAC Complete In-progress Not at all RA Website that serves data DIF - working to ensure interoperability Regional Data Portal * See guidelines for definitions **Regionwide = entire RA 8 Map 1a: Existing Observing Assets • Directions - Use a Google earth background of your region, please provide a map of your existing system using the legend provided by the sample map of SCCOOS - Consistent backgrounds and legends will enable the development of the final report. If possible, add your RA logo to the lower right side. Below is a sample map from SCCOOS. 9 Part 2: Looking Forward: Future Plans Assuming $5 million of funding per year, please indicate what your future plans are for your RA. The $5 million should cover activities currently funded by the RA Planning Grants and the RCOOS. 10 Future Plans: Major Products Level One Products Level Two Model RT Decision RT Data Outputs Satellite Data Support Maps Time Series Ecosystem/Climate Trends Water Quality Marine Operations Coastal Hazards Check “x” all that apply. In your verbal description, you should point out the major differences between this and the current system 11 Future Plans: Observations • Variables/ Platforms Fixedin water, multipurpose Fixedin water single purpose Fixed – on land Remote Transects Sensing Physical Meteorological Chemical Biological Geological Indicate the # of observations needed for your system 12 Future Plan: Modeling and DMAC Modeling* Region-wide Sub-region Not at all Atmospheric Circulation Inundation Wave Hydrologic Sediment transport Water quality/ecosystem Fisheries DMAC Yes In-progress No RA Website that serves data DIF - working to ensure interoperability Regional Data Portal 13 * See Guidelines for definitions ** Region-wide means entire RA Future Plans: Map Instruction: Using Google earth as a background and the same legend as before - provide a general idea of the location of your proposed observing assets.
