Thanks Jim. NOAA is a Big Data agency. As we like to say when we describe our mission, our mission of science, service and stewardship, is very broad. From the surface of the sun, to the bottom of the ocean floor, we have missions that span that entirety. The public counts on us to do deliver relevant and accurate information in a timely manner, it's critical to protecting life and property. We spend a lot of money on IT. Iit generates a lot of data - a billion dollars annuly in IT, 112 different information systems. We generate big data from lots of sources - 122 doplar radars, 17 sallelites on orbit, 8 networks of buoys, 1,042 stations, 200 tide gauges, 2 operational and 3 research super computers. We can't do anything in NOAA without doing it with Big Data. We have to generate it rapidly, we have to do it securely. We use it, not only to protect protect life and property but for climate modelling, mapping the ocean floor, mapping ocean currents, predictiing the course of an oil spill. Some numbers - three and a half billion observations a day are ingested into high performance computing. We have to secure it, we have to move it around, we leverage it. The newest thing we have, which I'll talk about later is, not only how we can use Big Data to better protect life and property, but how we can use Big Data to enable it to be used by others to promote the American economy. I'll leave that as a teaser for later.
