2. Tasks and products

Task Dedicated data products
1. State of the bay
  • ODSS layers: satellite data ("best of the day"?), ROMS outputs & forecasts, surface currents data (HF radar) & prediction (Jordan)
  • Data Analysis tab: moorings data, links to outside data & products
  • "regular" data products: possibly underway data, AUVs vertical sections, CTD profiles
  • daily reports of ocean & atmospheric conditions?
  • data/model comparisons?
2. ESP adaptive sampling
  • ESP web
  • backtrack from HF radar (Jordan) -> source waters
  • backward particles in ROMS
  • other products? needs a dedicated discussion
3. LSTs tracking
  • LST position sent by Daphne every ~1h
  • projection of future LST position?
  • averaged profiles (T, S, Chl, NO3) sent by Daphne every ~1h
  • currents @100m: M1, ROMS nowcast & forecast, as inferred from LST position
4. Front tracking
  • front detection from Tethys, Dorado & gliders (Yanwu), display the resulting locations on ODSS
  • prediction of future location based on surface currents prediction?

3. Detailed products & locations

OK = (mostly) implemented
in process = being implemented
to do = will be implemented
TBD = need to decide if it will be implemented

3.1 STOQS

All data in one place (except for gridded products such a satellite/ROMS), good for data exploration.

Possible features to add:

  • URL sharing (available on kraken)
  • caching queries for faster processing
  • data selection from the map

3.2 ODSS layers
What Task Who Status Details
platforms tracking 1 Kevin OK add "real" positions
satellite coastwatch products 1 Danelle OK Chl, SST, etc
new ocean color product (developed by Raphe Kudela) 1 John to do  
"best of the day" for satellite Chl/SST images? 1 John TBD  
ROMS 3km nowcast physics ("das") 1 Danelle OK latest available map, region 123.8 - 121.2°W, 35.8 - 37.8°N: temperature & salinity (surface), currents @surface and @100m displayed as arrows
ROMS 3km nowcast bio ("bio") 1   OK latest available map, same region: s2, z2 & no3 @surface, nh4 @50m
ROMS 3km forecast physics 1 Danelle OK at T0+24h, T0+48h and T0+72h, same region: temperature & salinity (surface), currents @surface and @100m displayed as arrows. Full time series displayed as animated gifs?
HF radar nowcast surface currents (CenCOOS OMA and UCSD 2km) 1 Danelle OK latest available map, displayed as arrows
surface currents prediction (Sergey's algorithm) 1 Jordan OK  
M1 surface & 100m currents 3 Danelle OK displayed as arrows
LST-inferred 100m currents 3 ? TBD displayed as arrows (McCann suggests talking to Danelle)
latest fronts positions from autonomous platforms 4 Yanwu OK send (time, latitude, longitude) to driftertrack@mbari.org (see below)
underway & waveglider surface data 1 Monique OK updated every hour, data in the first 2m, last 24h

For simple position data, Mike McCann suggests using the existing drifter track interface – simply send emails like below.

to: driftertrack@mbari.org
subject: platformName,esecs,lon,lat

where platformName is 10 characters or less, esecs is Unix epoch seconds, and lon & lat are in decimal degrees.
