Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: NERACOOS.org


1
NERACOOS.org
  • Development of the NERACOOS web presence
  • August 31st, 2009
  • Riley Young Morse
  • GoMOOS

2
Web presence development timeline
  • SPI determined NERACOOS needed a updated web
    presence May 2009
  • DIF team developed list of requirements for
    website development May 2009
  • GoMOOS submitted proposal and was selected to
    develop website June 2009
  • Requirements were refined with DIF and EO web
    team to meet budget and relatively short
    timeline August 2009

3
Developing the Website
  • Worked with DIF and SPI teams to define goals of
    "presence
  • DIF team thought demonstrating functionality of
    regional data providers in observation and
    modeling was the top priority
  • Real-time data product integrating data sources
    from the region using web services
  • Visualization of model output integrating WMS
    feeds of available models
  • Ability to access data from NERACOOS providers

4
Goals of NERACOOS website (June scoping meeting
at Seacoast Science Center)
  • To develop and launch a new NERACOOS website
    that
  • Demonstrates the leading edge capabilities of the
    region which makes NERACOOS a national leader
  • Informs the public about the who, what, why etc.
    of NERACOOS
  • Effectively displays and delivers NERACOOS and
    other regional data (e.g. NDBC, NERRS) to
    stakeholders
  • Demonstrates success as defined by IOOS regional
    maturity index
  • Brand NERACOOS as part of the IOOS Regional
    Associations
  • Demonstrates the capacity of NERACOOS to deliver
    observation and modeling information
  • Through integrated real-time data and forecast
    products

5
Audience
  • The anticipated audience for the NERACOOS.org
    website is likely to be made up of a variety of
    users with different needs. As a result, the
    messaging will be targeted to reach this diverse
    audience, focusing on ease of use and ability to
    access desired information, regardless of who the
    user is. This will be done through user-friendly
    menus, search functionality and content
    organization.
  • Targeted audiences
  • Interested public that wants to learn about
    NERACOOS
  • Mariners (commercial and recreational) that use
    real-time and recent weather and ocean data in
    their decision making process
  • Pilots, USCG, commercial captains, aquaculture
    industry, marina managers, recreational boaters
  • Data partners
  • Scientists interested in accessing data from the
    region
  • NOAA IOOS and other funding agencies

6
Content needs
  • About NERACOOS, make it easy for users to find
    information on who NERACOOS is and what they do
  • A section for projects based on currently
    funded initiatives, their status and successes
  • A section for 'theme areas' to describe upcoming
    initiatives in that area that will be more
    defined as the strategic plan is finalized
  • A Data Access section for accessing available
    data in the region, downloading software and
    cookbooks to enable interoperability
  • A section for Education and Outreach

7
Content Overview
  • Home Page information about NERACOOS, EO
    committee suggested we put the Real-time product
    on the Home Page for maximum effect
  • About News, Mission, Board, Staff, Teams,
    Contact, Funding Opportunities, How to
    Participate
  • Products Real-time data, Model Forecasts,
    NECOFS, Coastal Flooding and Erosion Tool
  • Projects Buoys, Modeling, Surface Currents,
    Inundation, Nutrients, HABs, Shipboard Surveys,
    Data Integration
  • Themes Coastal Ecosystem Health, Coastal
    Hazards Resiliency, Ocean Energy, Maritime Safety
    and Security
  • Data Access OPeNDAP, THREDDS, Web Services,
    Metadata
  • Calendar Upcoming events, past events
    documentation
  • Education Outreach Resources, User Needs

    NERACOOS region
  • NERACOOS funded data sources
  • Gulf of Maine Array (UMaine buoys B, E, I, M, N
    Great Bay Buoy)
  • Long Island Sound Array (LISICOS buoys)
  • Additional data sources
  • Umaine Buoy A, F
  • UNH Wave Buoy
  • Bowdoin College Buoy
  • MVCO Sea Node
  • NERRS Stations
  • NOAA NDBC

Products Real-time Data (Functions)
  • Click on buoy icon to get latest observations
  • View 12-hour trend from each parameter
  • Zoom-to region (Entire NERACOOS region, Gulf of
    Maine, Great Bay, Boston Harbor Buzzards Bay/Cape
    Cod, Narragansett Bay, Long Island Sound)
  • Selectively hide/show platforms from legend (Gulf
    of Maine Array, Long Island Sound Array, Inactive
    buoys, NOAA assets, etc)
  • Full-size map with drag-able legend and data
    output table

12
Products Model Forecast Viewer
  • The NERACOOS Model Forecast Viewer incorporates
    web mapping views of models that overlap the
    regional domain. These models are generated from
    various sources and made available through WMS.
    Several of the models, the SAROPS and CODAR are
    processed and prepared for consumption by the ASA
    Environmental Data Server (EDS).
  • Current model layers include
  • ASAs EDS server output (SAROPS, CODAR)
  • Archive and forecast data from the UMaine Ocean
    Modeling Group
  • To be added
  • NECOFS/FVCOM output (working with UMass to
    access model output)
  • BIOs Wave Watch 3
  • MODIS Chlorophyll

    Island Sound, Gulf of Maine, Cape Cod/Buzzards
    Bay, Narragansett Bay, New York Harbor)
  • Select time change date and time to view
    hindcast/forecast

Future directions
  • Content
  • Continue to refine and develop content. Off to a
    good start but need more resources for data
    access, project updates, successes
  • Products
  • A water level model-observation forecast service
    that will be customized for the NECOFS FVCOM
    water level forecasts and real-time water level
    from NOS tide stations in the NERACOOS region.
  • Coastal Flooding and Erosion Tool integrate
    FVCOM water level and SWAN wave forecast.
  • Additional products to address priorities
    identified through strategic planning process.
