DESCRIPTION
Reason for the survey A snap shot of the products RAs are developing and offering A tool for looking at what are common/complementary products between the RAs An idea of products that may serve as examples to build off of for common national or super regional products A chance to provide some feedback on how easily/clearly the products the RAs are creating can be found/used/understood Future potential

RESULTS OF THE REGIONAL PRODUCTS SURVEYAric Bickel – IOOSA/CeNCOOS
Overview Reasons for the survey and our
methodologies A discussion of the results
Limitations General Observations Comments from the RA directors
A brief look at the short listed categories Open floor for questions and discussion
Reason for the survey A snap shot of the products RAs are
developing and offering A tool for looking at what are
common/complementary products between the RAs
An idea of products that may serve as examples to build off of for common national or super regional products
A chance to provide some feedback on how easily/clearly the products the RAs are creating can be found/used/understood
Future potential
Methodology Survey of all 11 RA websites
The creation of a categorized spreadsheet with the results
Conversations with all of the RA directors to get their feedback and additions to the spreadsheet
Discussion of the Results Limitations
“Under representation” of RAs that have large integrated products (usually portals)
Timeframe Exclusion of partner products Limited time with the directors (and little
input sought from the data managers/developers)
The Spreadsheet
General Observations Heavy in marine operations A lot of Cross-Cutting Data Portals User need focused Variance between RAs Discoverability
Director Comments Product that integrates all the data streams they
have Focus on products that span as many regions as
possible Integrated water quality and climatology product
seems to be among stakeholder needs(2). Rip current prediction product (i.e. something
that strongly appeals to a number of user groups) Keep clearly in mind the end users and develop
something that all of the RAs can develop a common outreach plan for
Director Comments Common severe weather/extreme event product
A ubiquitous issue for the RAs Support for trajectories, inundation, and
climatology products (with some detractors) Private sector competition Whether through this initiative or not, there is a
need for federal assistance in developing inundation products
Possible legal complications with inundation products
