2 Carlos Rivero Physical Scientist NOAA Fisheries

3 Geospatial Data Analysis and Marine Ecosystem Management

4 Large Marine Ecosystems NOAA is responsible for the management of 8 large marine ecosystems Identification of finer-scale subareas is necessary to provide higher resolution ecological bases for ecosystem assessments and management

5 Key Characteristics Bathymetry Water Mass Structure Primary Productivity Circulation Patterns Species Composition (Flora and Fauna) Temperature Salinity Dissolved Oxygen

6 Vector & Raster Formats Vector Data Species Catch and Abundance Depth Soundings Regulatory and Management Boundaries Raster Data Sea Surface Temperature Ocean Color/Primary Productivity Bathymetry

7 Desktop GIS Capable of integrating and analyzing geospatial data in both formats Requires significant investments in hardware and software to distribute capabilities throughout the organization Additional personnel investments are required to use effectively 20% of the total number of geospatial data users

8 Enterprise GIS Institutionalize our geospatial resources Provide mapping, querying, and analysis capabilities through web-based interface Desktop GIS users also benefit from the development of a centralized geospatial data repository Leverage this infrastructure to create a Service Oriented Architecture that provides access to data and analytical functions across the enterprise

9 The Problem Manage large volumes of data Multiple formats National Level (large geographic scope) Frequently Changing Publish data Cost-effective/Efficient Access to all users (desktop et. al.) Bring simple vector & raster analysis to the masses Address the needs of 80% of the users Extend the reach of available data and analysis tools Non-GIS experts

10 The Solution Manage large volumes of data Leverage Oracle RDBMS Use open data types (e.g., SDO_GEORASTER) Publish data Web deployment, download on-demand, and client-based Secure controlled access Analysis Customize reports to meet user needs Suite of extensible analytical functions Extend the reach of available data Incorporate into existing IT architecture Embed reports, mapping, and analysis functionality in other business systems

11 Enterprise Architecture

12 Examples NOAA Sea Surface Temperature Analysis USGS NLCD GRID Analysis PCI GIMS/iSMART Integration

13 NOAA SST Analysis Web-based portal to provide access to Sea Surface Temperature analysis. Display data Select layers Generate new raster Dynamic visualization Extract data

14 USGS NLCD Analysis Provide wide-spread access to NLCD Grid data for non-gis users Avoid client installs Provide analytical tools Visualization Integrate base layers Produce comparisons Export results National-level scalability

15 PCI GIMS/iSMART Geomatica Image Management Solution coupled with ismart web-based geospatial portal. Web-based access to vector and raster repository Map Selection Map Acquisition
