> Images analyzed to extract oceanographic parameters<br />
> Time series correlated with seasons, tidal cycles, <strong>and</strong> atmospheric forcing<br />
> Analysis information fused with oceanographic database<br />
> Analysis displayed as image overlay, graphic, or short text write-up<br />
> Image is geo-rectified <strong>and</strong> latitude-longitude scale is applied<br />
> METOC information displayed on such charts includes:<br />
◊ Any detected obstructions, reefs, or shoals<br />
◊ Estimate of nearshore currents during ebb <strong>and</strong> flood tides<br />
◊ Turbidity plumes<br />
◊ Location of any sewage outfalls<br />
◊ Typically expected sea surface temperatures<br />
◊ Any available data on water clarity<br />
◊ Hazardous biological marine life<br />
> Annotated imagery typically produced on 1:50000 or 1:25000 scale<br />
> Image can be transmitted via JDISS, classified email, SIPRNET, FTP, or<br />
classified PC bulletin board system<br />
> Full resolution file size 100-300 MB, although screen capture <strong>and</strong> compression<br />
techniques (with decrease in clarity) reduce size to 1 MB or less<br />
> NAVOCEANO can produce 3 ft by 4 ft product on high quality printer<br />
• Special Tactical Oceanographic Information Chart (STOIC)<br />
- 1:25000 scale 8 nm x 8 nm special purpose chart depicting nearshore hydrographic<br />
conditions with oceanographic data tailored for mine warfare, amphibious<br />
operations, or special operations (e.g., tides, currents, bottom sediments) displayed<br />
along the chart border<br />
- Produced for fleet operations, exercises or mission planning purposes<br />
- Available hard copy or on the SIPRNET<br />
- L<strong>and</strong> portion of chart may consist of an image, when appropriate.<br />
• Environmental Support Packages (ESP)<br />
- Describes nearshore oceanographic conditions by providing available, evaluated<br />
data on nearshore hydrography, tides, currents, marine life, water clarity, etc.<br />
- Can complement annotated imagery, or be a st<strong>and</strong>-alone product<br />
- OESs are communication efficient <strong>and</strong> can be produced for short-fused requests<br />
while imagery is enroute<br />
• Special Support. Examples of WSC-CSB support includes:<br />
- Detailed analysis of water density <strong>and</strong> currents at a specific location<br />
- Analysis of the suitability of beach l<strong>and</strong>ing zones<br />
- Summary of oceanographic conditions in support of new technology deployments<br />
- Users should submit requests via AUTODIN/DMS message<br />
- Call POCs for product availability<br />
• Product Strengths <strong>and</strong> Limitations<br />
- Strengths:<br />
