Presentation Transcript

  1. Observing the Oceanfrom the Rutgers University “COOL Room”

  2. COOL Ocean Observing Technologies Satellites in Space Surface Current Radars Underwater Robotic Gliders

  3. What is Ocean Data Used For? Ocean Weather Models and Forecasts Is used to create Real-time Ocean Data That are used by: • Coast Guard Rescurers • Fishermen • Emergency Planners • & Scientists

  4. Using COOLroom data to assistSearch & Rescue andEmergency Response

  5. The Problem When a ship is in distress, how do you figure out where to send rescuers? http://www.uscg.mil/news/PerfectStorm/Realstorm.html When a hazardous spill occurs, how do you know were the spill will drift? http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/gallery_catalog.php

  6. The CODAR Surface Current Network A network of beach antennas along the entire Mid-Atlantic coast is able to measure ocean surface currents out to a range of 200km. Receiver Antenna Transmitter Antenna

  7. The Future • Using Real-time Ocean • Data will: • Save Time • Save Money, and • Save Lives Coast Guard SAROPS Tool
