Figure 1-18.—Concept of NITES I through V supporting METOC sites. portable environmental system tailored to mobile METOC support that includes members of mobile teams and Marine Corps mobile support units. This system will ultimately replace the Interim Mobile Oceanography Support System (IMOSS). NITES V is the Allied Environmental Support System (AESS). INTERIM MOBILE OCEANOGRAPHIC SUPPORT SYSTEM (IMOSS) The  Interim  Mobile  Oceanography  Support  System (IMOSS)  is  a  modular,  rapid-response,  on-scene environmental prediction computer system. It is a lightweight system based on network technology and laptop computers. IMOSS is primarily used by Navy Mobile Environmental Team (MET) members and Marine  Corps  Meteorological  Mobile  Facility (METMF) members. This system can store, analyze, and   process   meteorological   and   oceanographic information  and  produce  numerous  METOC application  products. System Configuration The IMOSS consists of three sub-systems: the main subsystem,  the  communication  sub-system,  and  the satellite sub-system. Each sub-system can be used as a stand-alone   system,   depending   upon   mission requirements. Network Interface Cards (NIC) included in each sub-system allow them to be networked together for easy tile transfer and data communications. The ability to network also allows the IMOSS user to tie into Local Area Networks or Wide Area Networks to obtain products and data from remote sources. Details on IMOSS as well as instructions for LAN and WAN connectivity  can  be  found  in  the  Interim  Mobile Oceanography Support System (IMOSS) Users Guide, published by the Naval Oceanographic Office and delivered with each system. Figure 1-19 shows the basic IMOSS LAN configuration. Main Module The main module is designed to be used primarily for briefing support and the production of products from the  GFMPL  suite  of  software.  The  main  module consists of a laptop computer, a classified, removable hard drive, and network interface devices. The current laptop computers include either an IBM 760EL(U4G) Thinkpad or a NEC VERSA 6030H Notebook. Both have a 133MHz Pentium processor, CD-ROM drive, and floppy drive capacity. These systems run using the Microsoft NT operating system and are loaded with Microsoft Office. Older systems operate on an IBM 1-31
