Ocean Globe, Ocean Geospatial Appliance

Web Map Services
IUE provides GIS decision support tools that combine multiple layers of the ocean floor, topographical data, and weather services.
Enable rapid data transfer and visualization
True 3D ocean modeling
Following standardized
Protocols and models

Coastal Problems and Solutions
Always changing,
dynamic environment
Data is sparse and
stove-piped in databases
Not interoperable
Many devices, hard to data model
Takes too long to process and share
Transferred with CDs/DVDs/and ftp sites???
