The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)Center for Coasts Oceans and Geophysics (CCOG) acquires,preserves, monitors, and assesses the Nation's treasure ofcoastal, oceanographic, and geophysical data and information. Weoperate and maintain a stewardship architecture includingarchival, assessment, analysis, and data delivery. We archive 10TBand deliver 8TB per month including contributions in and out ofNOAA’s Comprehensive Large Array Stewardship System (CLASS).

NOAA’s Climatic, Oceanographic and GeophysicalData Centers have been aggregated into theNational Centers for Environmental Information(NCEI). (www.ncei.noaa.gov/)

● Enable better discovery to all of NOAA’s weather,climate, oceanographic and geophysical data.

● Develop integrated products and services across thescience disciplines.

● Increase efficiency and integration by usingconsistent data stewardship tools and practicesacross all science disciplines.

Future ProductsandServices• Sun to Earth / Solar Wind

– Deep Space Climate Observatory – NCEI is working with NOAA/SWPC to buildnew products and services. www.ngdc.noaa.gov/dscovr/

• Radiation Environment– The new GOES-RSTU satellites (launching November 2016) with advanced

observational capabilities, the launch of MetOp-C (final in series) and thecontinued mining of existing GOES and POES/MetOp data sets will result indramatically improved characterizations of the space radiation environment.

• Upper Atmosphere– Improved archive of auroral energy deposition, magnetic field, plasma moments

using the POES/MetOp and DMSP satellites– Archive of worldwide ionospheric vertical soundings growth continues

• Geomagnetics– Release new versions of the Enhanced Magnetic Model (EMM) and High

Definition Geomagnetic Model - Real Time (HDGM-RT), based on a newcompilation of satellite, ship and airborne observations and cloud calculators

• Marine– Bathymetry for coastal hazards resiliency– System Science – Tsunami propagation prediction and early warning from DART

buoy magnetic measurements

Motivations●Public Access to Research Results (PARR)

www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/ostp_public_access_memo_2013.pdf

●US Office of Science Technology Policy (OSTP)Memo issued February 22, 2013 “IncreasingAccess to the Results of Federally Funded ScientificResearch”●Requires Agencies with $100M in annual researchto ensure, to the greatest extent and with thefewest constraints possible, the direct results ofscientific research are made available to and usefulfor the public, industry, and the scientificcommunity.

●Big Environmental Data Initiative (BEDI)https://www.nosc.noaa.gov/EDMC/documents/workshop2013/DLB-20130625_EDM_Virtual_Workshop_Opening_Remarks.pdf

●Propose multi-agency activity coordinated throughUS Group on Earth Observations (USGEO)● Improve data discoverability, accessibility, usability●Focus on "high value" datasets, e.g. from OSTPEarth Observations Assessment, USGCRP NationalClimate Assessment, NOAA Observing Systems ofRecord

Activities● NOAA Big Data Initiative Request For Information

(See: https://www.fbo.gov/index?tabid=c4db11d56506c1aee7155e2b0a4088a4)

● Creative uses, US Open Data Policy, Equal access onequal terms, Self-sustaining business model, Datahandling and curation

● ISO19115 standard metadata required fordiscovery, use, and understanding of data

● Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)● Persistent, interoperable - all records published todata.noaa.gov and data.gov

● Formal Assessments● Self-Audits conducted following the ISO-16363,Trusted Digital Repository standard and several datacollections have passed the Digital ObjectManagement audit. (See: http://www.iso16363.org/preparing-for-an-audit/)

● NOAA National Data Centers’ Archive Growth
