Observing Systems Architecture (OSA)

NOAA Observing Systems Architecture (NOSA)

Mission: OBSERVATION SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (OSA): Responsible for developing and analyzing NOAA's integrated observation target architecture; the blueprint, standards, processes, and investments needed to build an integrated observational capability that delivers higher-value data and products to end-users.

Works with Requirements and Planning to assess NOAA's observation requirements relative to current and planned observational capabilities. Maintains NOAA value model to prioritize requirements. Provides investment recommendations to the NOSC that comply with the target architecture and best meet NOAA, national, and international observation and data management priorities. Analyzes advanced technologies to close observational gaps identified by comparing NOAA requirements versus capabilities gap assessments.
