GIS: An Integrated Solution Toward Meeting Oceanographic Data Challenges

1
ESRI Marine Data model Meeting the needs of the
coastal and marine GIS community
2
Objectives

• Overview of ESRI Marine Data Model
• Goals of ESRI 2002 Marine GIS Development
• Marine GIS user community needs?
• Discussion on Review of model and case studies

3
Purpose of Marine GIS data modelTo Provide a
framework for Marine GIS users to store, query
and analyze dataTo promote networking and data
sharing among Marine GIS User through
standardizationTo encourage the development of
tools for the marine GIS user community
4
Coordinated collection of scientific
data Geological, chemical,
biological, and physical High level
analyses of the processes interactions
A single integrated marine data modelwith
theme-based sub-models
5
Identifying marine data and parameters
Bathymetry Marine boundaries Coastlines Geophysic
al time Sub-bottom profiling Sidescan
sonar Magnetics Gravity Seismics Atmoshpheric
influences Sea state Sea surface
Temperature Salinity Sensor calibration

6
Defining marine elements
Images Locations of observations Submersible
ROV Tracklines Navigation points New
developments in data collection vehicles,
satellites, and methods
