NOAA Integrated Data and Environmental Applications (IDEA) Center Building Climate Partnerships for the Future NOAA Climate Board MeetingJanuary 27, 2006Howard Diamond, NOAA/NCDCEileen Shea, East West Center : NOAA Integrated Data and Environmental Applications (IDEA) Center Building Climate Partnerships for the Future NOAA Climate Board Meeting January 27, 2006 Howard Diamond, NOAA/NCDC Eileen Shea, East West Center


Agenda: Agenda Background and Context Existing Opportunities and Framework Pacific Islands GCOS (PI-GCOS) Pacific Region Integrated Data Enterprise (PRIDE) Coastal Climatology Emerging Opportunities IDEA Center Objectives, Activities, and Budget Questions and Discussion (Shea and Diamond)


Background and Context of IDEA Center: Background and Context of IDEA Center GEOSS and GCOS Emergence of Pacific IsIands GCOS (PI-GCOS) NOAA Support for PI-GCOS initiatives U.S. Climate Bilaterals (e.g., NZ and Australia) Interest in data integration and enhanced capabilities NOAA support for International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) NOAA PPBES and budget development Congressional language PRIDE Working Group FY05 PRIDE Projects and emergence of the IDEA Center


The Opportunity: The Opportunity Opportunity to integrate a variety of functions on a regional scale in a part of the world where: Recent efforts in climate, coastal services and ocean observations reflect a “One-NOAA” approach There is a need to serve an area in which the U.S. has a direct and shared interest There is great sensitivity to environmental factors such as rising sea level and tropical cyclones Enhanced integration of NOAA data and information management programs could help provide the expertise to address such factors There is strong Congressional interest and support

Coastal Climatology: Coastal Climatology Build on NOAA-wide interest and emerging partnerships A One-NOAA opportunity Linking coastal observations, science and services among NOAA programs and partners Coordinate development of an integrated national program Document user interests and needs Identify and engage partners Assess current capabilities Scientific planning and implementation strategy Establishment of appropriate management/support structure Support observing system priorities Integrated Earth Observing System Plan for Sea-Level Rise Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Pilot demonstration project(s) in the Pacific (AK, HI and Pacific Islands)


Coastal Climatology Pilot: Coastal Climatology Pilot Analyze patterns and trends of storm frequency and intensity in 3 areas: Precipitation and Related Hydrology (David Levinson, NCDC) Wind Climatology (David Atkinson, Alaska Fairbanks) Water Levels, Near Shore Waves and Sea Ice (Steve Gill, NOS) Initial efforts will target a limited number of Geographic areas and climate regimes (e.g., North Pacific/Alaska; Central Pacific/Hawaii; West Pacific/Guam) Observation data sets (e.g., ISH, GHCN, CO-OPS, NWLON, NDBC) Types of Analyses (e.g., annual, seasonal, monthly event magnitudes, GEV, correlation to ENSO and PDO) Develop suite of decision support products


Coastal Inundation & Erosion Scenarios: Observations, Models, Geophysical Properties and Impacts: Coastal Inundation & Erosion Scenarios: Observations, Models, Geophysical Properties and Impacts Temperature Bathymetry Reanalysis & Coupled Climate Models Coastal Inundation & Erosion Scenarios Biochemical Impacts (Ecosystems) Human Population Distribution Scenarios Societal Infrastructure Coastal Scenarios Sea Ice Glaciers Ocean Volume Circulation Quantity Sea Level Change River Run-off Tides Winds Winds Temperature Temperature Observations (~75) Human Impacts Models (~25) Physical Impacts Land Mass & Ocean Properties (~20) Sea Level Change (~12) Permafrost (# in parentheses represents data sets which must be integrated)


Emerging Opportunities: Emerging Opportunities Support for regional observing systems PI-GCOS, Pacific Islands GOOS (regional), PacIOOS (US domestic) Pacific Risk Management ‘Ohana’ (PRiMO) Hazard-resilient communities Climate risk management a focus for interagency collaboration Pacific Climate Information System (PaCIS) Pacific El Nino Applications Center (PEAC) review and guidance from NWS’ Climate Services Division Integrated program of observations, forecasting, research assessment, data management and information services – realization of a regional climate service “One NOAA” in the Pacific Pacific Regional Center; coordinated approach to IT systems planning & cross-NOAA support PaCIS as a possible “One NOAA” regional demonstration


Initial IDEA Center Objectives: Initial IDEA Center Objectives Regional & Global Observing Systems Support for U.S. contributions to PI-GCOS Support for PI-GOOS Emergence of PacIOOS (product development, data management and outreach; climate as priority) Applications & Data Product Development FY06 PRIDE Proposal Process – Climate a priority Wave and water level product line Coastal climatology project Climate services partnership (e.g., product development, web infrastructure, training, user engagement)


Initial IDEA Center Objectives: Initial IDEA Center Objectives Education and Outreach PacIOOS & climate risk management as high priorities Technology and Systems Development PRC IT planning – supporting NOAA-wide partnership in the Pacific IDEA Center IT needs analysis & system design study Support for standards (e.g., CLASS and GEO-IDE) Supporting Critical Partnerships NOAA, PRiMO, SPREP, SOPAC IDEA Center nodes (e.g., IPRC, PDC, NOAA offices) Pacific Climate Information System (PaCIS) Strategic Planning & Program Development PPBES for FY09-13 Contributions to NOAA-wide climate priorities “One NOAA” demonstration project(s) [e.g., PRIDE]
