Overview
• CIOSS Introduction
• STAR Organization
• General Research Focus & Priorities
• Changes in ORA/STAR
• Connection to NOAA and NESDIS (NSIS)
Cooperative Institute for Oceanographic Studies (CIOSS)
• Mission: To develop, improve and evaluate methods of ocean remote sensing and ocean-atmosphere modeling
• Focus and research areas: Basic research in ocean, atmosphere, and marine ecosystem dynamics; applications of basic research to the management of living and non-living resources within the coastal and open oceans; contributions to ocean observing and modeling systems through the evaluation of plans for future satellite systems and models; satellite sensors and techniques; ocean-atmosphere fields and fluxes; ocean-atmosphere models and data assimilation; ocean-atmosphere analyses; outreach
CIOSS
• 1st Competitively Awarded Cooperative Institute in NOAA
• 1st CIOSS Executive Board
Goals:• Focus on Science and Research Guidance• Garner comments on program progress & NOAA

NSIS & ORA Science into Operations
• Increased efficiency– SPSRB Processes
• Increased capability– Support increasing user requirements
• Changing paradigm– Requirements driven (CORL/MORL)– Priority based– Performance metrics
• Changing infrastructure (IT and test environments)
Coordinating Scientific Research
• Set priorities for each year’s proposals
• Work closely with CI’s to support NSIS needs and requirements
• Review user requirements
• Actively plan paths to the future
• Focus on applying research to operational needs
