The Integrated Ocean Observing System is the United States component in a world wide effort to provide global
coverage of the world's oceans using the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). The US contribution includes
systems supporting three major IOOS components: the Observation Subsystem, the Modeling and Analysis
Subsystem, and the Data Management and Communications (DMAC) Subsystem. The assets to be used in
these subsystems include hundreds of existing satellite sensors, buoy arrays, water level monitoring networks,
wave monitoring networks, specialized systems for commerce, such as the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time
System (PORTSŪ), and health and safety monitoring systems such as NOAA's (National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration) Harmful Algal Bloom Forecasting System for the Gulf of Mexico. Conceptual design
addresses the interconnectivity of these systems, while Conceptual Operations provides understanding of the
motivators for interconnectivity and a methodology for how useful products are created and distributed. This
paper will report on the conceptual design and the concept of operations devleoped by the authors under contract
to NOAA.
