Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)
• 70 Member Countries & the European Commission
• 46 International Organizations• A distributed system of systems
– Improves coordination of strategies and observation systems
– Links all platforms: in situ, aircraft, and satellite networks
– Identifies gaps in our global capacity– Facilitates exchange of data and
information – Improves decision-makers’ abilities to
address pressing policy issues– GOOS is the global ocean component of
GEOSS

U.S. IOOSVision
• Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS)– Enable rapid assessments of
current states of marine and estuarine systems, and the timely detection and prediction of changes in them, through the continual provision of routine and reliable data and information in forms and at rates specified by the users.
– Complex undertaking dependent on federal, regional, state, local, academic, & private sector contributions
Provide the right information, in the right format, at the right time, to the right people, to make the right decisions.

Background on NOAA’s IOOS Focus
NOAA IOOS Definition:
The U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) is a coordinated network of people and technology that work together to generate and disseminate continuous data on our coastal waters, Great Lakes, and oceans. IOOS is our nation’s ocean contribution to an international effort called the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), which is designed to continuously and comprehensively monitor Earth and transmit observations globally. IOOS supports both a coastal and global component of ocean observing.
• Establish NOAA IOOS Program Office
– Lead and manage NOAA’s IOOS efforts
• Support external collaboration – Identify and encourage similar data
integration, test and evaluation approach by partners
• Develop an Initial Operating Capability: Data Integration Framework (DIF).
– Integrate priority IOOS core variables and deliver to end users and models
– Quantify product improvements

NOAA’s IOOSMission
“Lead the integration of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes observing capabilities, in collaboration with Federal and non-federal partners, to maximize access to data and generation of information products to inform decision making and promote social, economic, and environmental benefit to our nation and the world.”

IOOS Challenges
• Technical– Not easy to integrate data from many
sources– Need to provide data in formats and rates
that are useful for broad array of applications
• Program– IOOS is not “owned” by 1 agency or entity– Difficult to engineer a cohesive and
operation system with many stakeholders that contribute to and use the system
• Budget– Fiscal constraints always an issue (no one
agency can do it all)– Coordinating federal budget requests
across agencies is not typical and not easy– Moving from earmarks to merit based
awards
IOOS Observation Registry - many data sources from around the U.S.
Example of ocean and coastal observation data.

Summary
• IOOS is maturing, but more work needed to evolve IOOS into a fully operational system.
• NOAA IOOS Program Stood Up – focused on execution– In Presidents Budget in FY08
• DIF effort supports NOAA, regional and other federal integration– Standards– Technical Processes– Lessons learned
• NOAA engagement with Interagency Partners– Through Ocean.US and IWGOO– E.g. OOI/IOOS Industry Work Shop; USACE
• NOAA engaged with Regions– Developing processes for long term sustainability
relationship– Integrating Regional capacity into National IOOS
