  • 1. Web Map Services
    • IUE provides GIS decision support tools that combine multiple layers of the ocean floor, topographical data, and weather services.
  • Enable rapid data transfer and visualization
  • True 3D ocean modeling
  • Following standardized
  • Protocols and models

2. Coastal Problems and Solutions

  • Always changing,
  • dynamic environment
  • Data is sparse and
  • stove-piped in databases
  • Not interoperable
  • Many devices, hard to data model
  • Takes too long to process and share
  • Transferred with CDs/DVDs/and ftp sites???
  • Breaking down the barriers for rapid data transfer
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y84mYsnac54

3. Multibeam Soundings

  • Multibeam swaths
  • NAVSOC undersea vehicles
  • NOAA Cruises, USGS, MMS, Fugro, NGA
