NOAA Data Management Support for the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office

Client

NOAA

Project Description

The scope of the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office (NCBO) Task Order encompasses a full range of technical support services, including: infrastructure operations, maintenance, and management; web development and database support; and scientific data and GIS programming support. NCBO is co-located with the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) in Annapolis, Maryland, and its staff coordinates and collaborates with CBP partners on a daily basis. NOAA signed a memorandum of agreement with the Chesapeake Bay Program in 2000 to collaborate in the development of the Chesapeake Information Management Systems (CIMS). Through this agreement, NOAA contributes data to the Chesapeake Bay Program and publishes data through the NOAA Chesapeake Bay website (http://NOAA.ChesapeakeBay.net) and the Coastal Prediction website (http://CoastalPredictionCenter.Chesapeakebay.net). The agreement also establishes data standards and policies for data consistency across agencies in the Chesapeake Bay Program.
