Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System
(CLASS)
CLASS West node resides at NGDC in Boulder. The system includes nearly 10,000 tape slots with 400 GB capacity per tape for a total of ~4PB of storage.
CLASS is the IT infrastructure in which NOAA’s large environmental data sets will reside. CLASS currently includes large satellite data sets from POES, GOES, DMSP and related products.

NGDC Supports CORS-West
NGDC is a mirror site and archive for CORS and provides data to other Boulder labs for ionospheric and total moisture content applicationsThe CORS network contains about 1,250 GPS tracking stations, and it is growing by about 200 stations per year.
CORS = Continuously Operating Reference Station
Red dots = GPS + GLONASS siteswhose data will become available in 2009.

CORS-West Support for Hurricane Gustav
NGDC operates the CORS-West mirror facility in coordination with the NOS/NGS. GPS receiver data from CORS collection sites along the gulf coast were used by NOAA research and the NWS during hurricane Gustav for local weather predictions. The upper panel on the right includes time series plots of the integrated precipitable water (IPW) and barometric pressure near New Orleans. The lower panel is the model storm analysis from the NOAA Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) operational weather prediction model showing the IPW near the time of landfall.

SWPC wishes to expand US-TEC to a global model by including new data from a variety of GPS regional networks & an operational COSMIC-2. Requesting NGDC to acquire these data is under consideration (SWPC-NGDC Summit).

MOST Tsunami Model Video: Kuril Island 2006 Tsunami Cross-Pacific Propagation
• Tsunamis have such long wave-lengths that they propagate as a shallow-water wave; even in the deep ocean (they “feel” the bottom)
• Notice the scattering from seamounts and fracture zones
• Notice that the tsunami consists of multiple arrivals

MOST Tsunami Model Video: Kuril Island 2006 Tsunami Striking the Hawaiian Islands
• Tsunamis amplify in shallow water
• Tsunamis are steered by shallow bathymetry
• Digital Elevation Models must be accurate, both horizontally and vertically
• Artificial offsets at the coastline can significantly degrade forecasts

• Current Version built between 1999 and 2004 (no VDatum)
• 3 arc-second (~90 meter) cell size
• Horizontal datum: NAD 1983 geographic
• Vertical datum: topography in NAVD88, bathymetry in MLLW or MLW
U.S. Coastal Relief Model (CRM)

• NGDC is beginning work on the next-generation CRM
• Expected 5-year project
• 1 arc-second (~30 meter) cell size
• Horizontal datum: WGS 1984 geographic
• Vertical datum: NAVD88 (goal to be “seamless” at the coast)
• Requires VDatum to convert to common vertical datum: creation of individual CRMs will parallel regional VDatum development
• Also building a “Southern Alaska” CRM at 24 arc-second (~700 meter) cell size without common vertical datum

Importance of VDatum to Tsunami Inundation Modeling
VDatum permits conversion of bathymetric and topographic data within a U.S. coastal region to a common vertical datum, and thereby produce a seamless DEM across the bathymetry-topography boundary, the most critical zone to tsunami forecasts.
Without VDatum, NGDC relies upon the relationship between tidal and geodetic datums as measured at discrete tide stations in the region, and applies these constant offsets to the entire region.
As the relationship between tidal and geodetic datums can vary over short distances, especially between the open coast and within bays and harbors (where most tide stations are located), use of a constant is valid only for the area near the tide station. Farther away, the “true” tidal-geodetic relationship is different, and a small “step” gets introduced into the DEM along the coast.
