Matters To Be Considered
The HSRP members will focus on the mission and issues relevant to NOAA’s navigation, observations, and positioning services, and the value these services bring, and invite stakeholder and partner suggestions for improvements. This suite of NOAA services supports safe and efficient navigation, the blue economy, resilient coasts and communities, and the nationwide positioning information infrastructure to support America’s climate needs and commerce.
Specifically, the HSRP will consider:
• The status of NOAA’s navigation services in the context of recent legislation (e.g., the National Defense Authorization Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and Inflation Reduction Act);
• An update on the new Standard Ocean Mapping Protocol and the plans to address and implement the ocean and coastal mapping strategy for ‘‘Establishing a National Strategy for Mapping, Exploring, and Characterizing the United States Exclusive Economic Zone’’;
• Measuring, monitoring, and mitigating flooding and sea level change and the contribution of NOAA’s critical foundational data to projects in the U.S. Caribbean;
• NOAA navigation data, products, and services that will enable further economic growth and address safe navigation;
• The geodesy education and training crisis;
• The exploration of possible benefits and applicability of the new Digital Twin technology to help manage coastal mapping data, maritime navigation, fleet management and related applications. The Digital Twin utilizes artificial intelligence, deep learning, data analytics and modeling to maximize use of tremendous amounts of data;
• Other topics related to the NOAA programs and activities may be discussed such as those for: hydrographic surveys, bathymetric mapping and modeling, nautical charting, coastal shoreline and ocean mapping, the National Spatial Reference System modernization efforts, tide and water level observations, current observations, contributions to resilience and coastal data and information systems to support planning for climate change, flooding, inundation, contributions to the blue economy,
coastal and ocean modeling and remote sensing, PORTS® (Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System) sensor enhancements and expansion, Precision Marine Navigation, the transition from raster paper charts to Electronic Navigational Charts, geodetic observations, gravity modeling, geospatial and LIDAR data; and
• The scientific mapping and technology research projects of the cooperative agreements between NOAA and partners at the University of New Hampshire and the University of South Florida.
