NOAA IOOS national HF radar network data management: Status and Plans

The NOAA IOOS Program has been supporting the development of a national HF radar network data server system with primary nodes at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), NOAA National Data Buoy Center and Rutgers University. Five regional data portals have been deployed throughout the US. SIO has designed the data management as a scalable, robust solution to the ingest of the increasing number, now ~100, of HF radars. Near-real-time data quality control, metadata and data delivery standards will be discussed in addition to the overall architecture of the national network.
