HOMELAND SECURITY OCEANOGRAPHIC COORDINATION
MEETING
  • NAVOCEANO hosted meeting on 15-16 October
  • Participants
  • - Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO)
  • - National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration
    (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS)
  • - NOAA National Environmental Satellite and Data
    and Information Service (NESDIS)
  • - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/Vicksburg
  • Focus
  • - Communication
  • - Collaboration
  • - Efficiency

4
HOMELAND SECURITY OCEANOGRAPHIC COORDINATION
MEETING
  • Discussed collaborative approaches to
    ocean-related Homeland Security issues.
  • Protection of
  • - Waterways
  • - Ports
  • - Maritime transportation
  • Three principal areas of discussion
  • - Collaborative Survey Operations
  • - Ocean Modeling Instrumentation
  • - Data Networking, Processing Storage

5
HOMELAND SECURITY OCEANOGRAPICCOORDINATION
MEETING
  • Working Groups formed in each of the following
    areas
  • 1. Collaborative Survey Operations
  • -- Mine Countermeasures
  • -- Maritime Domain Awareness
  • 2. Modeling and Instrumentation
  • 3. Data Networking, Processing and Storage

6
HOMELAND SECURITY OCEANOGRAPHICCOORDINATION
MEETING
  • Collaborative Survey Operations Working Group
  • Tasks
  • Define the actual MCM port collection
    requirements.
  • Navy and NOAA to resolve consolidated port list
    and priorities with Coast Guard input. Coast
    Guard will coordinate with civil and commercial
    port authorities.
  • Define MCM maintenance requirements and develop a
    resource plan.
  • Develop operational plan for baseline route
    surveys.

HOMELAND SECURITY OCEANOGRAPHICCOORDINATION
MEETING
Collaborative Survey Operations Working Group
Accomplishments
  • Held meeting 14 Nov. in Wash, D.C. USACE, NOAA,
    NAVOCEANO, CINCLANTFLT, COMMINEWARCOM, Canadian
    Navy, and EOD Mobile Unit 7 attended to exchange
    initial survey technical issues and discuss
    near-term collaborative survey plans.
  • Conducting collaborative survey operations in
    Kings Bay, GA.
  • Next meeting 11 Dec. to plan joint Norfolk
    survey.

HOMELAND SECURITY OCEANOGRAPICCOORDINATION
MEETING
  • Modeling and Instrumentation Working Group
  • NAVOCEANO will organize a workshop to consider
    coordination of physical modeling and data needs
    for Homeland Security to
  • (1) Share information on operational and
    quasi-operational physical models for
    currents, water level, and pollution transport.
  • (2) Discuss continuing approaches to
  • - Inventory, coordination, and centralized
    dissemination of model output.
  • - Share model code and outputs.
  • - Compare among model outputs and
    observations for model validation
  • - Share technical capabilities (e.g. data
    assimilation techniques).
  • (3) Define RD requirements needed to transition
    priority models in geographic areas.

HOMELAND SECURITY OCEANOGRAPHICCOORDINATION
MEETING
Modeling and Instrumentation Working Group
Accomplishments
  • Developed and disseminated Model Inventory
    template to partners in modeling community.
    Responses have started coming in.
  • Planning workshop to be held at NAVO 29-30 Nov.
    Approximately 20 senior technical representatives
    will attend from NOAA, USACE, EPA, NAVO, NRL, and
    others.
  • Objectives of the workshop include
  • - Options for national coordination for
    hydrodynamic contaminant fate modeling for 50
    ports.
  • - Data requirements to support the above
    modeling.
  • - Data Networking requirements for real-time data
    and model product dissemination.
  • - Inventory of existing model implementations and
    supporting data.

10
HOMELAND SECURITY OCEANOGRAPHICCOORDINATION
MEETING
  • Data Networking, Processing, Storage Working
    Group
  • Tasks
  • (1) Address classification level for this
    Homeland Security effort.
    Recommend Unclassified
  • (2) Address coordinated contingency response.
  • (3) Interact with customer base (new) to define
    custom products.
  • (4) All agencies will press their RD communities
    to determine what applied science can be rapidly
    transitioned to an operational capability.
  • (5) Establish Points of Contact and working
    groups to
  • - Coordinate common hydrographic data formats,
    product deliverables, and contractual support.
  • - Coordinate interagency data processing,
    networking, and storage efforts.
  • - Navy and NOAA to discuss collaborative ENC
    co-production and maintenance efforts.
  • - Navy and NOAA to discuss MCM related processing
    and production.
