Improving Access to and Use of Ocean Observations from Animal Borne Sensors
Abstract
The U.S. IOOS Program (IOOS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Navy s Office of Naval Research (ONR) Marine Mammals and Biological Oceanography Program propose to collaborate with the Tagging of Pelagic Predators (TOPP) program a project of the Census of Marine Life to facilitate improved access and use of associated ocean observing data, particularly physical oceanographic data, by ocean modelers and other scientists. Technical staff at IOOS and ONR will work with scientists and computer programmers at TOPP to implement webbased data services and other community-based software tools and technologies that can enable broader exposure of TOPP animal tagging data sets based on customer requirements for data representation, metadata, QA/QC, format and delivery. The project will be conducted over a 6-8 month period.
