NOAA GIS Overview
Highlighting NOAA’s Use of GIS to Support NOAA’s Mission
NOAALink Executive Council Meeting
April 2018
“…estimated market size of US $300B…touching US $500B by 2020” “The last five years saw a paradigm shift in the geospatial market. Technology innovations like Cloud, IOT, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain played a multiplier roles in expanding the business portfolio of the geospatial industry.” Source: geobuiz.com
International Geospatial Industry Status
Geospatial Industry Status
Geospatial Industry Status
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based tool that analyzes, stores, manipulates and visualizes geographic information
on a map
What is GIS?
Source Selection Information – See FAR Subparts 2.101 and 3.104-4
• Education in engineering and environmental information systems
• In GIS field for 25 years, with NOAA for 20 years
• NOAA GIO position created in 2011 • 50-50 = cost and time split between
NOAA OCIO and National Ocean Service
• Offers two perspectives – IT enterprise operations and mission programs
Who am I?
My goal as the NOAA GIO is to ensure GIS technologies are an indispensable component in meeting the NOAA mission
This requires strong collaboration with private sector partners
Geospatial is in the NOAA DNA
Geospatial technologies provide the framework to collect, store, analyze, and disseminate ‘NOAA’s Environmental Intelligence’
Geodetic Control Nautical Charts Shoreline Coastal Topography/Bathymetry Marine and Coastal Protected Areas Fisheries Catch and Habitat Weather and Climate Satellite and Aircraft Imagery
Authoritative GeoData
NOAA Core Geospatial Assets
• National Spatial Reference System • Over 2300 Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) • More than 1 million high-accuracy survey control marks • National shoreline to support charting and navigation
• Observing Systems [~100 observing systems] • 122 Doppler radars • 4 Polar and 4 Geostationary satellites • 8 Buoy Networks • 200 Permanent Tide Gages
• Ships and Aircraft • 18 ships and 12 aircraft engaged in research and survey
operations
• High Performance Computing • 2 operational and 3 weather and climate research

New NOAA Leadership Priorities
For more information, visit gis.noaa.gov
• Leading the world in Earth system observation and weather prediction
• Minimizing impacts from severe weather
• Increasing sustainable economic contributions of U.S. fisheries and oceans - includes developing resilient coastal communities and economies
Healthy Oceans & Resilient Coastal Communities

What it takes to make NOAA GIS work
• Governance and Planning
• Technology Profile
• Staffing Needs
• Challenges
• Increasing Impact
• Resources
For more information, visit gis.noaa.gov
Where we stand with GIS in NOAA
• Geo technologies used across all of NOAA
• Users = experts to newbies (estimate 4K users)
• Governance structure / CIO sponsorship
• Organizational funding and enterprise contracts
• Strong interest in expanding shared services
• Efforts to innovate, discovering new and better approaches
• NOAA Geo Community is growing
For more information, visit gis.noaa.gov
NOAA GIS Committee
• GIS Committee chartered by the NOAA CIO Council in 2003
• Each line office has a representative appointed by the LO ACIO
• Form working groups (Google Maps) + special projects
• Each line office also coordinates GIS activities – range for formal (NOS and NWS) to more informal / ad-hoc approaches
• Monthly meetings open to all NOAA staff
• Geospatial Software Licensing and Support
• Geospatial Enterprise Architecture Planning and Implementation
• National and International Representation
• Outreach, Communications, and User Support
NOAA GIS Committee FY18 Work Plan
Geo-Technology and Data Landscape
• Diverse user communities and requirements – internal and external
• Many data types, formats and, dissemination methods
• Operational and legacy systems
• Mix of COTS and Open Source tools
• Multiple development environments
• Fragmented IT infrastructure
• ELA allows for unlimited access to most Esri software + ArcGIS Online (AGOL), basemap services, Virtual Campus training, conference passes, and Premium Technical Support
• Current priorities
• NOAA Tier 1 Technical Support function [NOAA Esri Central Support]
• Cybersecurity approval process for NOAA’s AGOL account [NOAA GeoPlatform]
• ArcGIS Server and Portal architecture and best practices
Esri ELA
• Google Maps API, Google Earth Pro, and Google Earth Engine
• Usage of Google products has declined, remains valuable part of our geospatial technology suite
• OpenSource GIS – strong pockets in NOAA but little formal coordination within the GIS community
• BoundlessGeo within NWS IDP
Google Geospatial and OpenSource
NOAA GeoPlatform (Esri AGOL)
For more information, visit gis.noaa.gov
• Online collaboration environment – “makes GIS easy”
• Publish content to internal or external audiences
• Continued uptick in NOAA users (2,400) and published content
• Commercial and Open Source basemaps are critical for application development
Technology Grab Bag
• APIs, Web services / REST
• Data-as-a-Service model
• Popular Service Types
• Esri GeoServices, GeoJSON, OGC KML ,and WMS
• More Responsive Design than Mobile Apps
• Many NOAA data-driven apps developed by others
• Decrease in desktop NOAA Decision-Support Tools
Staffing Needs
• GIS Professionals • Data Developers • DBAs and Data Analytics • GIS Analysts and
Cartographers • Software/Application
Developers • SMEs (everyone needs GIS!)
• Oceanographers, biologists, meteorologists, cartographers, geodesists, climatologists, economists, planners, …..
Other thoughts on staff requirements
• Key skills • Spatial analysis • Data management and analytics • Scripting and coding • Developers – less about GIS-specific
development, more industry standards (services, APIs)
• Need technical skills with strong content knowledge and ability to apply it to NOAA's mission
• Days of GIS (vector) vs remote sensing (raster) are gone – integration is the key
• Shared gov’t-contractor commitment to routine training and professional dev.
• Ensure access to geospatial software and services needed to meet NOAA’s operational and research missions
• Develop usable options for cloud [internal, hybrid, commodity], including shared sandbox development environment; remove barriers to rapid testing and prototyping
• Expand use of enterprise development tools [GitHub, Jira] - better code sharing and code reuse needed
• Support high-priority NOAA initiatives [IDP GIS, Big Data Partnership]
• Solicit feedback from users / nimble & agile / partnerships
GIO Priorities and Challenges
What can we do to expand the IMPACT?
For more information, visit gis.noaa.gov
• Communicate - reach out beyond technical users to show your work and its value [management; comms; legis staff]
• Users - broaden your base; look inside/outside the agency to all sectors for advocates for your work
• Decision Making and Results - show how GIS is being used to make a difference; move beyond talking about the technology to talking about the impact
• $$$ - find ways to share resources; increase ROI
• Innovate - explore areas where GIS is not currently being used; find and exploit niches
• Engage - attend NOAA meetings; join NOAA listserves; share ideas; be vocal and creative
