- 1. 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
2. Coastal Problems and Solutions
- Many devices, hard to data model
- Takes too long to process and share
- Transferred with CDs/DVDs/and ftp sites???
- Breaking down the barriers for rapid data transfer

3. Multibeam Soundings
- NOAA Cruises, USGS, MMS, Fugro, NGA
- Hundreds of Millions of points
- Oracle, point data loaders, Terrain DB
- Raster grids cached on a server
4. Hawaii Points (NOAA, 2007) Updates being processed 5.
bathymetry Hawaii bathymetry web service: Creating decision support
tools with bathymetry and LIDAR 6. IUE provides data to ESRI 7.
Speeding things up
- http and ftp enable the fast upload of points
- Geoprocessing model converts soundings to seafloor
8. Patents and engineering models
