Version Date Changes

1 11/1/02 First Issue

3

Initial Tasking

• Develop an observing system architecture– Baseline (“state today”)– Target architecture (“future state”—10-20 years)

• Base prospective observing systems on validated requirements

• Investigate system consolidation and ownership transition (e.g., buoys)

• Conduct a systemic review of all observing systems considering the following factors– Required system characteristics– Number of and types of system users– Capital asset value and recurring maintenance costs

4

Initial Scope

• Focus first on baseline observing system architecture– Begin with systemic review of all NOAA observing systems– Work closely with NOAA team developing the requirements-

based management process– Timeline for future observing system architecture

development TBD

• Address only NOAA owned and/or operated systems

• Include operational and research systems

Initial Action Group Focus

• Analyze purpose of observing system architecture

• Establish framework, format and content of data call– Data call– Data capture/analysis– Follow-up interviews

• Discuss use of architecture tools (e.g., Ptech, Popkin, METIS)– Proper capture and visualization of various architecture

views

• Assimilate data (principles, guidelines, standards, etc.)

Architecture Queries

• How much is NOAA spending on observing systems?

• What observing systems are associated with each NOAA strategic goal?

• Display all observing systems owned by a particular line office.

• What observing systems are supporting our ability to measure the heat content of the ocean (or other scientific query)?– What additional observing systems do we need to answer

this particular question?

• Display all organizations that own buoys.

10

Architecture Queries(continued)

• Display all requirements not being met by current observing systems.

• Display all observing systems that a certain stakeholder deems important.

• Display all observing systems that measure a particular environmental parameter.

• Display the acquisition costs of all observing systems associated with a certain strategic goal.

• Display the geographic coverage of a particular observing system.– How does this coverage compare with stated requirements?

11

Architecture Queries(continued)

• Display the NOAA network locations that observe a particular environmental parameter?– Do other US organizations operate similar systems?– How do they compare to the NOAA system?– Could NOAA use their data? If so, what is the justification

for this NOAA-operated system?– How does this NOAA observing system fit within the global

system for this parameter (e.g., GCOS, GOOS, World Weather Watch, etc.)?

• How much does NOAA pay to acquire data from non-NOAA sources? What would it cost to deploy a NOAA-operated system to observe the same parameters?
