> Oceanographic products based upon imagery significantly increases the<br />
warfighters’ battlespace awareness<br />
> Analysis of oceanographic features based upon remote sensing is frequently the<br />
only way to qualitatively or quantitatively describe specific near-shore<br />
oceanographic conditions for a beach or harbor<br />
> Recent remote sensing data updates oceanographic surveys taken years or<br />
decades ago<br />
- Limitations:<br />
> Much of METOC data directly derived from remote sensing is qualitative<br />
> NRL <strong>and</strong> Navy TENCAP are engaged in quantitative analysis of such<br />
parameters; when quantitative analysis techniques are validated, they will be<br />
considered operational<br />
> High resolution imagery equates to small areas<br />
◊ LANDSAT <strong>and</strong> SPOT products typically cover an area no larger than 40<br />
nm by 50 nm.<br />
◊ Images based on NTM imagery describe smaller areas.<br />
◊ STOIC chart normally describes an area 8 nm by 8 nm.<br />
• Product Dissemination<br />
- Some image products are available from the NAVOCEANO SIPRNET homepage<br />
or can be uploaded<br />
- Overnight mail (when time allows)<br />
- Shipped via regional METOC center for further transfer (overseas/afloat units)<br />
- Sent via JDISS, SOCRATES, classified PC-PC BBS, or AUTODIN (products<br />
requiring quicker transmission)<br />
- Will work with customer <strong>and</strong> regional METOC center to determine best method<br />
• Request Procedures<br />
- Submit routine requests to the regional METOC centers by record message<br />
(preferred) or via telephone (info NAVOCEANO Stennis Space Center MS//N22//)<br />
- Submit short fused requests to NAVOCEANO (info the appropriate regional<br />
METOC center)<br />
- Requests requiring higher levels of classification may be received via<br />
“backchannel” traffic<br />
- Requests should contain the following information:<br />
> Comm<strong>and</strong> requesting the product<br />
> Name of exercise or operation<br />
> Location of request (be as specific as possible; a latitude-longitude box is<br />
preferred)<br />
> Forces being supported (e.g., amphibious, SOF, mine, etc.). Include description<br />
of intended use of the product to ensure product is tailored to the specific<br />
operation<br />
> Required date to receive product.<br />
> Desired transmission method of product (i.e., JDISS, mail, etc.).<br />
