The next generation of ocean data services at the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC)
Abstract
The U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) provides end to end services for satellite, in situ, model, video and other types of ocean data and information. End to end translates into a) access: development and implementation of tools and technologies that facilitate the discovery and access to the archive; b) archive: translates into monitoring and understanding the ocean user community as well as monitoring the latest technologies, and c) stewardship: translates into the long term preservation of data and information and generation of authoritative long term records. This presentation will discuss how NODC is meeting its challenge to handle complex, high volume ocean data from satellites, high resolution ship and buoy data, autonomous vehicles, and model output. The next generation NODC is taking advantage of our latest technologies to enable discovery of our archives and developing tools to integrate data in a seamless manner for easy access by a variety of users.
