  2. Satellites HF-Radar Gliders Drifters Population Density To seek, discover & apply new knowledge & understanding of our coastal ocean Weather Stations Atmosphere & Ocean Forecast Ensembles

  3. Transition Objective – Operational Use of HF Radar Surface Currents for Search And Rescue Surface Currents Data Product Generation & Management Data Acquisition Search And Rescue Optimal Planning System (SAROPS)

  4. Hurricane Irene August 28, 2011 NOAA/NHC Damage: #7 with >$16 Billion. Track Accurate; Intensity Over-predicted. Hurricane Sandy October 29, 2012 NOAA/NHC Damage: #2 with >$68 Billion. Track Accurate; Impact Under-predicted.

  5. Hurricane Irene • August 28, 2011 • Strong Stratification • Limited storm surge • Mixing cooled surface • Limited intensity • Hurricane Sandy • October 29, 2012 • After fall transition • Single layer ocean • No mixing/cooling • No escape for surge $2.5 M Repair $5.5 M Science

  6. MARACOOS REGIONAL THEMES 1) Maritime Operations – Safety at Sea 3) Water Quality – a) Floatables, b) Hypoxia, c) Nutrients 5) Energy – Offshore Wind 2) Ecosystem Decision Support - Fisheries 4) Coastal Inundation - Flooding
