Status: both the University of Miami WERA and EFSIS data streams continue to be served up by our OpenDAP/DODS
server.
WORK STATEMENT
§5
Support will be provided for SEACOOS-related remote sensing activities of the
USF and RSMAS Remote Sensing** (RS) laboratories (Terra-& Aqua-MODIS
ocean color and SST, AVHRR SST, etc.) through new product development,
operational redundancy, or data dissemination.

Central web site maintenance,
S.I. Harvey Seim, UNC-CH
Part 1- Calloway and Cleary
have maintained and expanded
the website as requested. Now
have 4 servers running and are
working on migration to these
platforms, including efforts to
provide some redundancy for
the USC database and
visualization.
Part 2 – the NCCOOS testbed
for development continues to
expand. Haines has led the
SECOORA DM workshop
efforts and will likely lead the
QA/QC effort. Now have a
database running locally that
allows testing of systems

Continued Data Integration: Collaboration with SEACOOS data
management personnel to implement processes to aggregate internal and
external data streams for modeling and outreach products.

§
Data Quality and Control: We will implement QA/QC practices as
identified by SEACOOS partners. This includes procedures for near, real-time
observational data, as well as, after-the-fact.

§
Establish metadata and data structure for NC observations: We will
assist in identifying SEACOOS minimums for data structure and metadata
needs for HF radar and in-situ measurements. These will be made available
in a manner that are consistent with those throughout SEACOOS.

§
Operational data streams: Maintain and update scripts and programs to
automate the processes of converting, calibrating, and aggregating data as
they are received from remote sites and pushed to data servers for Internet
access. Work to incorporate need to access information about changes in
calibrations and maintenance.

§
Design relational equipment database: Continue development of a
relational database to hold information about field equipment and sensors,
history of maintenance, calibration data and threshold standards. This
database will be updated by field personnel and used by operational scripts
and programs—a crucial step towards operational function.
