NOAA Observing Systems Architecture (NOSA)
Program Review Team Recommendation #32 & #40
Rob Mairs, Jim Barkley and the NOSA Team
October 21, 2003

Initial Scope of Task Team
• Begin with systemic review of all NOAA observing systems– Work closely with NOAA team developing the requirements-
based management process– Timeline for future observing system architecture
development TBD
• Address only NOAA owned and/or operated systems, but ensure expansion to international systems
• Include operational and research systems

Methodology used for NOSA Baseline or ‘as is’ Architecture
1. Determine purpose of architecture effort
2. Diagram all relevant components of architecture
3. Determine what you need to know about each component
4. Build data collection methodology
5. Gather data
6. Publish and use
7. Establish method for maintaining

Enterprise Architecture: Very short and short definitions:
• The explicit description and documentation of the current and desired relationships among business and management processes and supporting infrastructure.
or• An enterprise architecture is a tool to help individuals
think about their organization as a whole. An enterprise architecture captures a wide variety of information, establishes relationships among the various documents and diagrams and stores all of the information together in a single repository, so that managers can then see relationships, ask questions, identify problems, or run simulations to help make decisions about changes they are considering.

NOSA Target or ‘to be’ Architecture Method
1. Assess observing systems effectiveness in meeting NOAA strategic goals
2. Prioritize observations or capabilities and validate requirements
3. Analyze alternatives to reach desired effectiveness
4. Select target that achieves most capability within cost and other constraints
