  1. Use of data by students Monica Reyna

  2. Intro • Graduated from Westview High School • Portland State University • 4th summer at CMOP

  3. Interests/Classes • Science in general • Marine biology, environmental science • Languages • Biology, chemistry, physics, human anatomy, marine systems, and environmental science http://www.ccc.caltech.edu/classrooms/sciencelab/science_labwork.gif http://legalplanet.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/ocean-turtle.jpg http://edithfishta.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/world-env1.jpg

  4. Last year’s project • Compare the CORIE Development model with the Phoebe glider data • Find what might be causing the model to predict wrong http://dalnews.dal.ca/2008/05/07/slocum-glider-2-300.jpg

  5. Phoebe the Glider http://www.stccmop.org/corie/observation_network/auv

  6. Phoebe Data Model Observation May 17 2009 –June 27 2009

  7. Surface Salinity

  8. CMOP’s Model May 24 all day Surface Salinity Wind at 10 m/s

  9. Modeled winds & measured winds May 24, 2009 Noon Tongue point

  10. Modeled Winds at Astoria

  11. Salinity layer 15 Observations Model

  12. Conclusion • The CORIE Dev model was more accurate past 15 meters • Models are very helpful but only if they are accurate

  13. Project • Translate activities into Spanish • Activities that can be used in the classroom

  14. Any Questions?
