  1. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Julie Thomas Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) San Francisco Ports Meeting San Francisco, CA January 15, 2009

  2. CALIFORNIA OCEAN CURRENTS MONITORING Program COASTAL DATA INFORMATION PROGRAM • Based at Scripps since 1975 • 35 Wave Stations • 14 People • $2.5M+ / year budget • Funded by: USACE CDBW (SCCOOS BEACON ONR…) • SCCOOS & CeNCOOS Collaboration since 2004 • $21M initial funding • Funded by: • Coastal Conservancy • Statewide Program

  3. San Francisco Bar Buoy - Collaboration Buoy- driven Wave Model Predictions CDIP Point Reyes Buoy Long Period Swell CDIP Bar Buoy Short Period Seas Swell + Sea Prediction

  4. Installed July 2007 CDIP SF BAR BUOY

  5. Shallow Water Wave Breaking Predictions on the Bar SF BAR BUOY Occasional Wave Breaking Frequent Wave Breaking

  6. Frequent Wave Breaking

  7. SF Bar Buoy Swell Wave Prediction using the Pt Reyes Buoy

  8. Waves and Currents in the San Pedro Channel SCCOOS providing currents CDIP providing wave observations, Nowcasts and forecasts. http://sccoos.ucsd.edu/themes/harbors

  9. Interactive Google Maps Display of Near Real-Time Surface Currents Leverage existing HF Radar infrastructure http://sccoos.ucsd.edu

  10. San Pedro Channel Leverage existing infrastructure for Wave products Pilot Transfer Area San Pedro Wave Buoy South Swell West Swell SAN PEDRO CHANNEL

  11. 3 day wave forecast Capability to send automated notification when thresholds are exceeded!

  12. Geo-referenced NOAA charts to Google

  13. San Francisco Approach Currents, Wave Observations and Wave Models – Customized for SF Maritime Community

  14. Coastal Conservancy is facilitating discussions as to how we can develop an Integrated currents and waves website for San Francisco. Lack of data Inside the Golden Gate Need more wind and current data.

  15. CDIP Wave Buoys Near Ports and Harbors How important is consistency for The inter and intra-state maritime community? Each port has its own unique Set of challenges…no one Template fits all! Port/Harbor buoys Other CDIP wave buoys

  16. NOAA PORTS • Discussions are in progress with NOAA PORTS as to how best integrate with their system. • MOU is in progress between USACE and NOAA. • MOST Important step is to secure funding for the SF Bar Buoy!!
