Integrated Surface Observing System Commerce and Transportation Goal Team Richard F. Edwing July 20, 2004
Commerce and Transportation • Outcomes: • Safe, secure and seamless movement of goods and people in the U.S. transportation system. • Environmentally sound development and use of the U.S. transportation system • 7 Programs: • Marine Transportation Systems • Geodesy • Emergency Response • Commercial Remote Sensing Licensing • Aviation Weather • Marine Weather • Surface Weather
Shoreline Mapping NOS supports Marine Transportation and Coastal Resource Management Commerce and Transportation Marine Transportation Systems • Tides (NWLON) • Currents (NCOP) • PORTS • Shoreline • Hydrography
Commerce and Transportation Geodesy Continuously Operating Reference System (CORS)
Commerce and Transportation Emergency Response
Commerce and Transportation Commercial Remote Sensing Licensing
Commerce and Transportation Aviation Weather • ASOS • GRIDS ASOS Present Weather Sensor
Commerce and Transportation Marine Weather • Fixed Buoys • Drifting Buoys • VOS
Commerce and Transportation Surface Weather Fog limits visibility
Commerce and Transportation • Needs • Partnerships/Collaboration/Cooperative Observing Programs • Funding • Socio-economic benefits • How to prioritize common observation systems across GT/LOs • Standards and Specifications • FGDC • Flexible format • GAPS • Communication • Exploration of all NOAA Observation Platforms possibilities (planes, ships, et al.)
Commerce and Transportation • Core Questions • Is NOAA including data from outside sources? • Will NOAA start with a broader view of what observations should be pursued, and develop the tools and products necessary for the public to understand and utilize the observations
