National Data Buoy Center Presentation to GCOOS Regional Board of Director’s Meeting March 4, 2010 Helmut Portmann, Director
National Data Buoy Center To provide a real-time, end-to-end capability beginning with the collection of marine atmospheric and oceanographic data and ending with its transmission, quality control and distribution.

NWS/NDBC Ocean Observing System of Systems Weather Buoys that have in place for > 30 Years
NDBC’s Ocean Observing Systems 111 met/ocean buoys 4 ocean/waves buoys 49 C-MAN stations 39 DART stations 55 TAO buoys + 4 current profiler moorings 500+ Voluntary Observing Ship vessels
Standard 3 m & 6 m Buoys
Other NDBC Platforms: DART® • Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) • 39 Stations Since March 2008 • ~230 Ship Days - Contract or NOAA Vessel
Other NDBC Platforms: TAO • Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) Climate Buoys • 55 equatorial Pacific buoys • 4 Ocean Current Profilers • 234 -278 ship days a year • Typically a NOAA vessel

Station Growth (1999 -2008) (nb. 8% growth June-December 2008) • From the IOOS Business Plan“Initial integration efforts on six of seven Core IOOS variables describing ocean and coastal conditions: • Sea Surface Temperature; • Salinity; • Water/Sea level; • Currents; • Ocean color; • Surface Waves; and • Surface Winds Delivery of these variables may use one or more of the following Core DIF Standards”
Data Assembly Center • • • Oceanographers, meteorologists, IT specialists, programmers Observations ingest, processing, analysis Data processing and QC algorithm development for new systems Observation dissemination and web display Management of station configuration and metadata

NDBC Letter to RA’s (2005) • Due to FY 05 budget, we are able to add some Salinity, ADCP and Directional Wave sensors to existing buoys. • What are your priorities? • What else do you want to tell us? • Coordinated Response desired.
GCOOS Response (2005): Directional Waves Note: Compilation of responses received, no regional arbitration/validation. • 42020 (Corpus Christi), 42035 (Galveston) – Source: Buzz Martin, TABS • 42038, 42041 (note: disestablished) (N. Mid Gulf) – Source: Greg Stone • SGOF 1 (Tyndall AFB Tower) – Source: Steve Morey, FSU • LKWF 1 (Lake Worth) – Move to Pt. Everglade entrance – Source: Alex Soloviev (Nova Southeastern)
GCOOS Response: ADCP/Salinity • Florida Keys in general (Muller-Karger (USF), et al) • DRYF 1, SANF 1, SMKF 1, LONF 1, MLRF 1, FWYF 1 need ADCP (Priority order by M-K) • 42040, 42039, 42036, 42003, CDRF 1, 42014, EGKF 1, DRYF 1, SANF 1, SMKF 1, LONF 1, MLRF 1, FWYF 1, KTNF 1, SGOF 1, BURL 1 need Salinity (Priority order by M-K) • “Mesohaline” areas (Tom Soniat, Oyster Disease) • 42020 (Corpus Christi), 42035 (Galveston) – Source: Buzz Martin, TABS • 42038, 42041 (note: disestablished) (N.

GCOOS Response: Other • Do a good comparison of buoy vs. subsurface ADCPs (Van Waddell) • Coordinate a Fugro-GEOS pilot project buoy with NDBC (Ralph Rayner) • Offer to help with Lake Worth Instrumentation (Nova Southeastern U. )
GCOOS and NDBC Future Plans • Work with IOOS to develop a more formal process for the RAs to submit requirements for ocean observations on NDBC weather platforms • Review 2005 GCOOS priorities with GCOOS Board of Directors – possibly resubmit NDBC Director’s 2005 letter
