• как автоматизированной информационной системы, объединяющей и интегрирующей ряд технологий или технологических процессов известных информационных систем типа автоматизированных систем научных исследований, систем автоматизированного проектирования для обеспечения получения проектных решений и представления информации. Реализуемые в ГИС технологии вывода данных позволят оперативно получать визуальное представление картографической информации с различными нагрузками, переходить от одного масштаба к другому, получать атрибутивные данные в табличной или графической форме;
• как системы, использующей и объединяющей базы данных цифровой и графической информации, для решения задач моделирования различных явлений и процессов на море и получения экспертных оценок;
• как географической информационной системы, реализующей функции системы картографической информации и автоматизированной системы картографирования для реализации задач получения и преобразования собственно географической информации.

Таким образом, на основании вышеизложенного, можно утверждать, что создание картографического модуля на принципах геоинформационных технологий не исчерпыватся перечисленными проектами, в которых участвует ГосНИГНИ, а пронизывает все проекты ЕСИМО, которые связаны с получением, обработкой и представлением географически привязанной информации.

В настоящее время геоинформационные системы приобрели статус серьезного стратегического резерва в экономике тех стран, которые вступили в период становления информационного общества. Здесь уместно привести выдержку из указа президента США Б. Клинтона 1994г. » О создании национальной инфраструктуры данных с пространственной привязкой»: «В конечном счете, именно географическая информация становится критичным компонентом в задачах содействия экономическому развитию, умелого природопользования и защиты среды обитания. Современные технологии позволяют эффективно решать задачи сбора, распространения, анализа и визуализации данных с пространственной привязкой».

https://arcss-oaii.hpl.umces.edu/ — Ocean-Atmosphere-Ice Interactions (OAII) https://aslo.org — The American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) traces its roots to the Limnological Society of America (LSA), which was established in 1936 to further interest and research in limnological science. The society was an outgrowth of the meetings and discussions of the National Research Council’s Committee on Aquaculture during the previous decade (Lauff, G.H. 1963. A history of the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography. Pp. 667-682 in, (D.G. Frey, ed.) Limnology in North America. University of Wisconsin Press, Madison). While the LSA had members working in both freshwater and marine systems, the name did not reflect this until 1948 when the Oceanographic Society of the Pacific merged with the LSA to become the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography. ASLO is incorporated as a nonstock (non-profit) corporation in the State of Wisconsin. Membership in the society has grown from 221 charter members in 1936 to more than 3,800 members in 1993. Members are drawn from 58 countries including the United States, and more than a quarter of the membership reside outside the U.S. The purposes of ASLO are to promote the interests of limnology, oceanography and related sciences, to foster the exchange of information across the range of aquatic science, and to further investigations dealing with these subjects. ASLO is best known for its journal, Limnology and Oceanography (L&O;), its interdisciplinary meetings, and its special symposia.

https://www.bbsr.edu — Bermuda Biological station for Research (BBSR) mission is threefold: to conduct research and science education of the highest quality from the special perspective of a mid- ocean island; and to provide well-equipped facilities and responsive staff support to visiting scientists, faculty and students from around the world. More than 100 years ago, the idea of establishing a station in Bermuda for research in biology and zoology was first considered, and in 1903, Harvard University, New York University and the Bermuda Natural History Society together established a marine biological station at Flatts Inlet. In 1926, BBSR was incorporated in New York as a U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. In 1932, the Bermuda Government and the Rockefeller Foundation joined forces to provide facilities and a modest endowment, and BBSR opened its present location on Ferry Reach. Bermuda?s mid-Atlantic location makes it an ideal place to study the environment for scientists and students from around the globe. Bermuda has a flora and fauna that is subtropical, primarily a depauperate version of the Caribbean floras and faunas. The reefs and mangroves are unique as far as their northern extension. Because of Bermuda?s small size and mild climate, a great variety of habitats, including deep ocean water depths of over 12,000 feet, are readily accessible throughout the year with a minimum of effort.

https://www.donhr.navy.mil — Over 190,000 civilians are employed by the Department of the Navy (DON) at Naval and Marine Corps activities throughout the world. Civilian employees provide the critical infrastructure needed to support the DON mission. The range of jobs and skills are as diverse as the people who fill the positions. From scientific research to supporting the families of the men and women who serve, civilian employees perform the full spectrum of services that are not dissimilar to those services required to run a city. The focus of the Department has changed from preparing to fight a global conventional war to maintaining the operational flexibility and forward naval presence to handling selective crisis-response missions. A critical key to success has not changed. Attracting, training, and retaining a highly skilled workforce are the most important role that we fill in supporting that mission. The Human Resources Management (HRM) System provides the framework for managing the DON civilian workforce. The system incorporates three essential elements: Public policy laws and regulations based on a fundamental yet comprehensive set of merit principles; Military and civilian managers, supervisors and team leaders who manage the civilian workforce in accordance with law and regulation; and HRM experts who serve as advisors to management and employees and who carry out the administrative details necessary to make the system operate. Within the DON, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) (ASN(M&RA;)) assigns lead responsibility for Human Resources (HR) policy and HRM service delivery to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Civilian Personnel/Equal Employment Opportunity) (DASN(CP/EEO)). The HRM policy functions, located in the office of the DASN, include interpretation and application of Federal personnel regulations and coordination of the implementation of HRM regulations, policies and programs throughout the Department. Reporting to the DASN (CP/EEO) are the Human Resources Operations Center (HROC) and the Human Resources Service Centers (HRSC). The HROC manages and oversees the business operations and technology requirements of the HRSCs. The HROC includes staffs for information technology, financial management, legal services, and administrative and functional coordination of the HRSCs. The HRSCs, located in eight geographical locations worldwide, serve as the regional HRM processing center for activities and Human Resources Offices in its service area. The HRSC also provides various centralized HRM programs and services.

https://www.ipsl.jussieu.fr/OCMIP — OCMIP Ocean Carbon-Cycle Model Intercomparison Project. In the decade that has elapsed since 3-D ocean models were first employed to study the ocean’s carbon cycle, computer technology has advanced remarkably. During that same time, more scientists have begun to employ 3-D models in efforts to improve man’s understanding of ocean circulation. Others have likewise joined in, taking advantage of these developments as a means to better understand ocean biogeochemistry, which is affected largely by ocean circulation patterns. Such models provide a test bed for ideas of how the ocean’s carbon cycle operates. They also provide tools for interpolation and prediction, both in space and time. Yet different models can produce substantially different results. Advances in ocean carbon-cycle modeling have been impeded by the inability to compare results because simulations and analyses differ between modeling groups. For example, models have not been validated (compared to data) in an identical fashion.

https://www.mcbi.org — From our beaches and coastlines to the remotest reaches of the open oceans, human actions are despoiling the sea no less than the land. Scientists have documented the disappearance of species from whale-sized Steller’s sea cows (Hydrodamalis gigas) to fingernail-sized eelgrass limpets (Lottia alveus), but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Unaccountable phenomena such as mass die-offs, toxic plankton blooms and coral bleaching episodes seem to be increasing. Off southern California the abundance of zooplankton — the food source for most marine life — has decreased 80% since 1951, and world fish catches have declined since 1989, despite increased fishing effort. These are indications of something gone terribly wrong.

Представление мореведческих организаций России

Государственный океанографический институт

Государственный океанографический институт (ГОИН) создан приказом Главного Управления Гидрометслужбы Красной Армии от 14 июня 1943 г. в соответствии с постановлением Совета Народных Комиссаров СССР от 4 июня 1941 г. N 1092. На протяжении всей своей истории ГОИНу принадлежит ведущая роль в научных исследованиях закономерностей гидрологических и гидрохимических процессов в океанах, морях и устьях рек. ГОИН — головное научно-методическое учреждение Федеральной службы России по гидрометеорологии и мониторингу окружающей среды в области океанографии (включая гидрохимию и загрязнение), морской метеорологии, гидрологии и гидрохимии морских устьев рек. Институт имеет отделение в Санкт-Петербурге (СПО ГОИН). Основная задача института — обеспечение отраслей хозяйства России гидрометеорологическими и гидрохимическими данными по океанам, морям и устьям рек, а также разработка методов расчета тех параметров гидрологического и гидрохимического режима, которые не могут быть получены наблюдениями. Институт осуществляет методическое руководство сетью пунктов гидрометеорологических и гидрохимических наблюдений на морях, омывающих Россию, и в морских устьях крупных рек.

Институт имеет лицензии:

• на проведение экспедиционных наблюдений за состоянием и загрязнением морской среды;
• на составление морских прогнозов;
• на составление и ведение информационных банков данных;
• на проведение работ по инженерным расчетам гидрометеорологических характеристик и экспертизе морских проектов.

Руководство по практике метеорологического обслуживания населения (ВМО — N 834, 2000 г.)

Погода и экстремальные гидрометеорологические явления не только являются одним из чрезвычайно важных факторов, учитываемых в процессе принятия решений при управлении в случаях стихийных бедствий и в рамках деятельности чувствительных к погоде экономических секторов, но также влияют на каждодневную жизнь всего населения. По мере того как последствия стихийных бедствий становятся все более значительными и, соответственно, общественная поддержка сосредоточивается на совершенствовании программ гидрометеорологического прогнозирования и предупреждений, текущая социально- экономическая ценность таких программ получает всевозрастающее признание. Национальные метеорологические или гидрометеорологические службы (НМС) должны обеспечивать предупреждения, прогнозы и информацию о погоде и связанных с климатом явлениях надежным и исчерпывающим образом на своевременной основе в качестве составной части выполнения своих обязанностей по обеспечению безопасности жизни, защиты имущества и благосостояния граждан своей страны.

В целях оказания содействия НМС в выполнении этой задачи в рамках Программы ВМО по метеорологическому обслуживанию населения было подготовлено настоящее второе издание Руководства по практике метеорологического обслуживания населения (ВМО-N 834). Основная цель этой публикации — оказание помощи странам-членам ВМО в развитии и совершенствовании метеорологического обслуживания всего общества. В Руководстве приведена информация о тех видах практики и тех процедурах, которые имеют наиболее важное значение для обеспечения метеорологического обслуживания населения, т. е. в нем представлен общий обзор установленных принципов, методов, методологий и соответствующего материала, а также идей и рекомендаций различных отдельных специалистов и их групп, компетентных в данной области. Предполагаемая аудитория для данного Руководства — это в основном персонал НМС, однако оно может оказаться также полезным для НМС в их контактах с внешними аудиториями и другими государственными учреждениями.

Настоящее Руководство по практике метеорологического обслуживания населения основано на первом издании, опубликованном в 1996 г. В ходе подготовки настоящего Руководства в 1997 г. было проведено всеобъемлющее обзорное исследование НМС с целью оценки текущего состояния национальных программ по метеорологическому обслуживанию населения, их сильных и слабых сторон, а также для содействия осуществлению хорошо спланированных инициатив по созданию потенциала. Результаты этого обзорного исследования включены в настоящее Руководство. Оба издания Руководства отражают тот факт, что ВМО придает оцень высокий приоритет деятельности по развитию и совершенствованию метеорологического обслуживания населения.

Настоящее расширенное Руководство состоит из двух частей. В главах 1-4 и 11, являющихся по своему характеру описательными, содержится справочная информация относительно практики и менеджмента метеорологического обслуживания населения. Главы 5-10 могут использоваться в качестве основы для учебных программ, относящихся к различным компонентам Программы по метеорологическому обслуживанию населения. При подготовке большинства глав использовался подход по принципу <как это делается> с приведением примеров того порядка поэтапных действий, которому надлежит следовать персоналу НМС при подготовке и выпуске предупреждений, прогнозов, информационной продукции и их представлении на радио и телевидении, в газетах и т. д. В некоторых главах приведены также примеры современных видов продукции и методов, используемых НМС. Электронная версия настоящего Руководства обеспечит еще более широкий доступ к самым современным видам практики, методам и продукции в области метеорологического обслуживания населения, озна-камливаться с которыми можно будет сразу же по мере их включения в электронную версию. В нее будет также включено более значительное количество примеров, актуальных для каждой из глав. Обе эти версии (электронная и печатная) Руководства будут служить для НМС постоянным источником информации о самых современных видах практики и о быстро изменяющихся и прогрессирующих видах технологии, которая может быть использована в деле совершенствования и дальнейшего развития программ стран-членов по метеорологическому обслуживанию населения. Руководство по практике метеорологического обслуживания населения является по своему характеру эволюционным и, соответственно, будет постоянно обновляться. Особенно активно эта тенденция будет проявляться в электронной версии.

На протяжении всего Руководства основное внимание обращается на важность обеспечения именно такого обслуживания, которое требуется пользователям. Для того, чтобы Программа по метеорологическому обслуживанию населения была успешной, чрезвычайно важно, чтобы НМС и их персонал вырабатывали такую продукцию, которая основана на понимании потребностей пользователя. Соответственно, в настоящем Руководстве рассматриваются вопросы о том, как оценить потребности пользователя, каким образом реагировать на эти потребности, а также о необходимости постоянно исследовать и оценивать уровень удовлетворенности пользователя соответствующей продукцией. Важно помнить, что дальнейшее развитие метеорологического обслуживания населения следует предпринимать лишь в ответ на действительные и актуальные нужды и потребности, выраженные сообществом пользователей, а не просто само по себе. Необходимо четко представлять, что программы метеорологического обслуживания населения по самой своей природе должны быть направлены на службу обществу, и лишь в этом случае они сохранят надежную репутацию, доверие к себе и общественную и политическую поддержку Для оказания содействия НМС в определении потребностей пользователей в электронную версию Руководства будут включены примеры соответствующих вопросников.

В том, что касается ответственности за гидрологическое обслуживание, в национальной практике существуют различные варианты. В некоторых странах эта ответственность возлагается на метеорологическую службу, в других — на какую-либо специальную организацию. В некоторых случаях эта ответственность разделяется, например, метеорологическая служба несет ответственность за предупреждения о наводнениях, а специальная организация — за регулярный мониторинг речного потока и контроль за ирригацией. В настоящем Руководстве используется понятие «национальная метеорологическая или гидрометеорологическая служба (НМС)».
