Challenges and Promise of In Situ Sensing for Nowcasting, Forecasting and Predicting Environmental Trends in Coastal Ecosystems: A Workshop Proposal for Multi Agency Support

9820260malone提供资金作为研讨会的费用分摊，以讨论长期、高分辨率时间序列观测、实时遥测和沿海生态系统原位遥感的数据同化要求的当前能力和需求。研讨会组织者已经获得了多机构（NSF、NOAA、NASA、ONR、EPA和MMS）对这项工作的支持。他们打算邀请大约75名因研究沿海生态系统和/或开发和使用现场传感器而得到认可的与会者参加为期四天的讲习班。此外，预计将有15至20名政府机构观察员出席。讲习班的总目标是评价对现场测量和实时遥测的需要，促进测量、数据同化、综合和应用之间更有效的“端到端”联系；并促进环境问题的比较分析。与会者将被要求解决三个相关问题：1)探测和预测沿海生态系统的变化；2)监测能力和信息需求；3)多学科综合海岸观测系统的设计与实施。讲习班的成果将是一份报告，其中将提出一项连贯和全面的计划，以设计和执行符合用户需要的综合海岸观测系统。讲习班的成果将在讲习班结束后一年内提交给AGU、ASLO和EFR会议。

9820260MaloneFunding is provided as cost-sharing for a workshop to discuss the current capabilities and needs for long-term, high resolution time series observations, real time telemetry, and data assimilation requirements for in situ sensing of coastal ecosystems. The workshop organizers have secured multi-agency (NSF, NOAA, NASA, ONR, EPA, and MMS) support for this effort. They intend to invite approximately 75 participants who are recognized for their research on coastal ecosystems and/or development and use of in situ sensors for a four-day workshop. In addition, 15-20 observers from government agencies are expected to attend. The workshop's overall goal is to evaluate the need for in situ measurements and real-time telemetry, promote more effective "end-to-end" linkages between measurements, data assimilation, synthesis and applications; and catalyze comparative analysis of environmental issues. The workshop participants will be asked to address three related issues: 1) detecting and predicting change in coastal ecosystems; 2) monitoring-capabilities and information needs; and 3) the design and implementation of integrated, multidisciplinary coastal observing systems. The product of the workshop will be a report that will present a coherent and comprehensive plan for designing and implementing integrated coastal observing systems that are responsive to user needs. Results of the workshop will be presented at AGU, ASLO and EFR meetings within one year of the completion of the workshop.
