Presentation Transcript

  1. Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System (CariCOOS): progress report: • J. Morell, J. Corredor, M. Canals, • Mercado, L. Aponte and Y. Detrés • CaRA General Assembly, March 21, 2012 • La Parguera, Lajas P.R.

  2. Completion of “Implementing CariCOOS” goals and continued operation (2008-2011) • Targeted stakeholder needs for winds, waves, currents data and products at critical and regionally representative sites as well as modeling storm surge inundation and water quality • Initiation of “Advancing CariCOOS” (2011-2016) • Focused on developing assets, tools and products required by shore dependent sectors: To addressed by M. Canals • Buildout plan: mid and long term goals • Focused on detection and mitigation of climate change, natural hazards and impacts

  3. Completion and continued operation of CariCOOS initial phase: • enhance and maintain observing capabilities (wind, waves & currents)

  4. Completion and continued operation of CariCOOS initial phase: • enhancement of modeling products (inundation, waves, currents, winds) • Currents: ROMS (Cherubin, Leonardi), HYCOM , presentation Idrisi • Storm surge: Mercado, USVI maps, revision of comp. grid • Winds: WRF, Aponte & Rodriguez (NWS) • Waves: SWAN, NWS-San Juan WFO • CariCOOS Workshop : Simulation & Model Testbed of Hurricane Wave, Surge, and Rainfall Runoff Events for PR • development of remote sensing water quality tools: PosterB. Brocco • monitoring ocean acidification: PosterM. Melendez • develop an “ocean literate” society: Presentation by Y. Detres • Sharing and management of CariCOOS data • Useful data products: Demonstration by A. Gonzalez • Data Management and Communications: Presentation by Capella

  5. CariCOOS- mid and long term goals: • Mid (2-5 yr) and long term (10 yr buildout plan) : • Monitoring riverine input (streamflow –WQ network (USGS) • Monitoring inshore WQ (profiling buoys) • Benthic community monitoring (AUV imagery) • Long term observing of climate change & expression in regional waters (GLIDERS, Ship based surveys) • Modeling in support of remediation, mitigation and adaptation to coastal hazards/climate change • Dissemination of above data and products

  6. Funding 2012-2013 • IOOS - “Advancing CariCOOS” yr2 ($2,699,445)$1,347,000 • Postpone acquisitions of 2-HF radars • Reduce scope of sub-award to U Maine (near coastal buoy) • NOAA Ocean Acidification program $27,000 • NOAA OCRM “NE Corridor Reserve Hydrodynamics $35, 730 • PR-Sea Grant “Development of the Puerto Rico Beach SurfzoneCurrents Warning System” $42,293 • DHS Center for Secure and Resilient Maritime Commerce$60,000

  7. Metrics: anybody out there? Irene (We need NDBC and WeatherFlow traffic data……)

  8. Metrics: caricoos.org Ca. 9000 stakeholders accessing our products > 25 times/year!

  9. Metrics: anybody out there? Visits and number of visitors caricoos.org Data from GOOGLE analytics 9000 stakeholders accessing our products > 25 times/year

  10. Thanks!
