Climate Change Interoperability ChallengeProject Proposal

Story

We know

• Climate change happens!

• Number of natural disasters increases dramatically

Story

Consequences

• Question: How to deal with the aftermath?

• Observations to forecast such disasters and reduce the impacts

http://www.52north.org/wps

Scenario

• Feature of Interest: Elbe in Germany

• Flooding in Dresden Area

• Background: Hundret year flood in 2002

Flooding

Prevention is better (and cheaper) than cure.

Sensors along the Elbe

Classic Sensors

http://www.52north.org/wps

Concept

• Hard wired

• ArcMap not used as viewing client

• Uses default browser with thin client

• Featureclass matching the input must exist

http://www.52north.org/wps

Observation

• Observation of features with potential danger

• Battery of gauge sensors

• Measuring water level (and changes)

• Storing into SOS• Integration into SDI

via SWE

http://www.52north.org/wps

What is SWE actually?

http://www.52north.org/wps

Connect SWE with AGD

• AGD Extension for SOS connections

• Automated geodatabase/featureclass creation

• Automated updates• Triggering further

modeling processes• Enable security• Integration of other SWE

services (z.B. SAS)

http://www.52north.org/wps

Prototype available

• Uses external client for visualizing gauge values

• No automated data structure creation (FC, GDB, etc.)

http://www.52north.org/wps

Concept

• Phase I.

• Phase II.

Phase II – Security Layer

http://www.52north.org/wps

CCIP

• Phase I: Extension development (July – September)

• Phase II: Impl. of an security layer (September – Mid-October)

• Phase III. Testing and Presentation (from October)

Longterm

• AGS-SOS Integration

• TBD.
