Abstract

Oceanographic Data via Enterprise Web Services
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Authors: Jennifer Hailes

The Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) provides environmental data to the warfighter through an ESRI ArcGIS Server based enterprise solution supporting over 100 multi-dimensional Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant web services. This system, NAVOCEANO Geospatial Data Services (NGDS), enforces Department of Defense metadata standards and provides the warfighter a standardized way to receive the data. This presentation will discuss the general architecture and capabilities of the system, with a special emphasis on our experiences deploying geoprocessing services using ESRI Model Builder and toolboxes in ArcServer in a restricted DoD environment. These include ocean sediments data extraction, ISO 19115 + security feature level metadata extraction, ocean forecast properties (4D time enabled netCDF data) and ocean acoustic processing tools.
