Project Status Report
Significant Accomplishments:
• Developed an advanced DMAC system for NANOOS that ingests data from
variety of sources and in a variety of formats/types and makes it accessible
• Launched new NANOOS web that is a framework to integrate multiinstitutional content into a seamless presentation, including capabilities for
data search, data delivery, product display, and useful links
• Produced products of regional significance with use and demand across our
priority areas (Ecosystem Impacts, Fisheries, Maritime Operations, Coastal
Hazards)
• Fostered strong outreach ties to wide spectrum of ocean observing user
groups including fishing industry, state and local natural resource
managers, tribes, first responders, recreational boaters, scientific
researchers, citizen scientists, and education community
• Developed lesson plans for use in classrooms and tutorial products on web
and on display in aquaria/marine science centers
• Maintained our core observations in the face of significant federal funding
reductions

Keys to Success
Excellent communication within NANOOS:
• Three committees (DMAC, User Products, Ed & Out) that work independently and
collectively to implement goals/vision for development.
• Tri-committee meetings educate each other and identify needs and integrate efforts
• Weekly DMAC calls; monthly to bi-monthly calls for other committees, semi-annual 3-com
• Some committee members who sit on two or more committees, provide overlap
Clear and widely held vision for NANOOS RCOOS development:
• Active involvement of GC; much pro bono involvement
Win-win partnerships developed (e.g.):
• NANOOS partnered with NERRS to serve data from State (WDOE), University (UW),
Federal (NOAA-NERRS) sources designed for shellfish growers by joint NERRS-NANOOS
outreach efforts & web page designed by a small private company (Mindfly Inc.)
• NANOOS partnered with sensor industry (WETLabs) and marine science center (Hatfield) to
fund development of outreach tool that highlights archived and RT data from the local estuary
that is displayed to the public at the marine science center; this link between observing data
and an educational display will be adapted and exported throughout region
8
Potential Challenges
Describe potential and/or real challenges (e.g., institutional barriers, technical
barriers, scientific barriers, personal, etc)
Going from a semi-operational system to a fully operational (24-7) system that has
staff that can respond, back-up hardware, UPS systems
Funding sustained observing system, that is fully regional, and includes
replacement funds
e.g., extend HF to WA
Resolving challenges
How might these challenges be resolved? (Besides additional financial
resources) For example, are there actions that NOAA or
other federal agencies could take to assist?
No, it really is a funding issue. Getting other agencies to add to pot is critical.

Future Plans:
 Expansion of HF radar stations to the Washington coast;
 Ocean circulation modeling expansion to Washington coast;
 Models and observation data for assisting with SAR;
 ReaL-time observations of conditions at the mouths of major estuaries (i.e.
maritime safety) e.g. X-band radar, SWAN wave modeling etc;
 Bathymetry data collection;
 Models of coastal inundation and erosion due to climate change effects (i.e.
changes in sea level, trends of increasing and/or more extreme wave heights, effects
of ENSO). Would require modeling with SWAN and other models for forecasting
beach erosion potential and inundation. Continue to provide time series information
on coastal change (shore-based and bathymetry) patterns along the OR/WA coasts;
 ARGUS camera time-series for monitoring shoreline change in areas where erosion
is severe (e.g. Rockaway beach);
 Help to synthesize fishery data for PNW coast. Develop models of regional fishery
patterns (e.g. hot/cold cycles in SST affecting Salmon fisheries of the PNW coast;
