IWGOO Support Office FY 11

随着海洋观测界进入IOOS的下一阶段，联邦机构仍然致力于彼此之间以及与整个海洋界的合作伙伴进行合作。联邦机构合作伙伴之间的协调仍将由IWGOO负责，而NOAA则被指定为IOOS的主要联邦机构。IWGOO是一个正式的特许机构，将帮助IOOS度过这一过渡期。IWGOO决定了一些海洋。美国的活动将在IWGOO的领导下继续进行。本提案要求资金部分支持海洋观测机构间工作组（IWGOO）支助办公室，该办公室设在海洋领导联盟。更广泛的影响机构间合作对于实现海洋科学和技术优先事项，特别是海洋观测系统的规划和协调至关重要。监测系统支助办公室就监测系统的所有规划活动向联邦机构提供行政援助。一个平衡的、高功能的IWGOO，通过协作支持整合沿海和海洋观测资产的努力，为综合海洋观测系统预算规划和资源转移建立有效机制，与其他环境观测工作建立联系，提供综合沿海和海洋数据，促进应用程序和决策支持工具的交付，推进研究，将新技术纳入业务。将IOOS纳入教育和劳动力培训，并协调海洋观测优先事项。一个能够有效支持这些目标的IWGOO将为与气候、海上作业、自然灾害、国家安全、公共卫生、生态系统和自然资源有关的更广泛的社会目标做出有意义的贡献。

As the ocean observing community moves forward into the next phase of IOOS, federal agencies remain committed to cooperating among themselves and with partners throughout the ocean community. Coordination among the federal agency partners will remain the responsibility of the (IWGOO) along with NOAA as the designated lead federal agency for IOOS. The IWGOO is a formal chartered body, and will see IOOS through this transition period. The IWGOO decided that some Ocean.US activities would continue under the leadership of the IWGOO. This proposal requests funds for partial support for the Interagency Working Group on Ocean Observations (IWGOO) Support Office hosted at the Consortium for Ocean Leadership.Broader ImpactsInteragency collaboration is essential to achieve ocean science and technology priorities and, in particular, for planning and coordination of an ocean observation system. The IWGOO support office provides administrative assistance the federal agencies on all of the IOOS planning activities. A balanced, highly-functioning IWGOO that works through collaboration supports efforts to integrate coastal and ocean observing assets, establishes effective mechanisms for Integrated Ocean Observing System budget planning and transfer of resources, creates links with other environmental observing efforts, provides integrated coastal and ocean data, facilitates the delivery of applications and decision-support tools, advances research, incorporates new technology into operations, integrates IOOS into education and workforce training, and coordinates ocean observing priorities. An IWGOO that is able to effectively support these goals will make meaningful contributions to broader societal goals related to climate, maritime operations, natural hazards, national security, public health, ecosystems, and natural resources.
