1 National Data Buoy Center Cooperative Relations Presentation For NGI Annual Conference May 23, 2012 Landry Bernard

2 National Data Buoy Center Operational Mission 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. NDBC & other NOAA observations Oil & Gas Platforms IOOS Partners Platforms NDBC Mission Control Center 24 / 7 / 365 Tsunami Warning Centers NWS Global Telecommunication System (GTS) Operational Bulletins Emergency Managers Weather Forecast Offices/ River Forecast Centers National Centers for Environmental Prediction HF Radars DATA COLLECTION Public National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NCDC, NODC, NGDC) DATA DELIVERY Electrolyte to Satellite to Website

3 National Data Buoy Center Buoy repair, refurbishment, fabrication, integration, testing, and calibration Field service planning, shipping, worldwide logistics, & inventory management Observations ingest, processing, quality control, analysis, & dissemination Buoy deployment, retrieval, topside servicing, & exchange System validation, analysis, evaluation technology refresh, prototype testing

4 NDBC s Ocean Observing Network 109 met/ocean WX buoys added 30 buoys through C-MAN stations 39 Tsunami Monitoring stations added in Climate Monitoring buoys + 4 current profiler moorings added in 2006

5 Field & At-Sea Maintenance A Typical Year Weather DART TAO Total Buoys Replaced Buoys Serviced Ship Days at Sea
