Ocean Associates Inc. (OAI) is seeking a full-time Oceanographic Data Specialist 1 to support the NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) Engineering and Design Branch and the Products and Services Branch in Silver Spring, MD. The individual will be responsible for ensuring the integrity and accuracy of water level stations and their associated metadata and data to support CO-OPS datums partnerships. OAI is a Virginia corporation established in 2003 that provides consulting and technical services to the U.S. government, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and the private sector. We specialize in scientific program and project management, strategic planning, professional and technical services and stakeholder engagement, supporting government contracts.
CO-OPS is the authoritative source for accurate, reliable, and timely tides, water levels, currents, and other coastal oceanographic and meteorological information. Offering services that support safe and efficient maritime commerce and transportation, help protect public health and safety, and promote robust, resilient coastal communities. CO-OPS maintains ocean observing infrastructure, including more than 200 permanent water level stations on the U.S. coasts and Great Lakes, an integrated system of real-time sensors concentrated in busy seaports, and temporary meters that collect observations for tidal current predictions. Through these systems, CO-OPS provides the nation with historic and real-time data, forecasts, predictions, and scientific analyses that protect life, the economy, and the environment on the coast.
Key Responsibilities May Include :
- Documentation and Data Input : Support the submission, review, and input of metadata for water level, meteorological, and oceanographic sensors, ensuring all data aligns with CO-OPS standards and SOPs.
- Data Stability and Datum Assurance : Monitor and assess the stability of water level stations and ensure they are correctly on datum, performing necessary adjustments and updates to maintain accuracy. Analyze oceanographic data pertaining to the transition of CO-OPS observing systems from legacy sensors to microwave water level technology and assist in coordinating the review and approval of such transitions.
- Data Loading and Quality Assurance : Load preliminary data into the database as needed and conduct quality assurance and quality control checks on water level data to detect and resolve discrepancies. Assist in the development of revised tidal datum determination procedures, including an error budget analysis.
- Data Product Development and Dissemination : Produce essential data products such as hourly heights, highs and lows, monthly means, tidal and geodetic datums, harmonic constituents, and tidal predictions. Assist in the development and presentation of technical training and procedural workshops for NOAA stakeholders seeking to understand CO-OPS oceanographic data analysis.
- Data Tracking and Project Updates : Track data throughout the metadata and data pipeline, providing regular updates to project and partnership leads regarding the status and progress of data handling.
- SOP and Guide Updates : Assist in updating standard operating procedures (SOPs) and guides when necessary to align with evolving practices and technologies.
- Station Evaluation and Decision Support : Participate in the evaluation process to determine which two FLDEP stations will be maintained long-term by CO-OPS, contributing to strategic decision-making based on comprehensive data analysis.
- The contractor will ensure that all metadata and data are integrated into our network correctly and will be generating all downstream data products, thereby supporting CO-OPS' mission and Datums Partnership operational needs.
