Data Type COOL Web Site Hits Average Hits per Day Other 14% NODES 13% CODAR 17% Gulf Stream 10% MET 17% LEO 6% Over 41 million to date (Over 13 million in 2001) Non-profit (7%) Users SST 53% Education (6%) East Coast 19% General Public 69% Military & Government (4%) NYB 37% MAB 28% Region Rutgers Web Site Statistics

  14. What’s Missing? People with Practical Training in an Operational Environment • How do we fix this? • Change in academic philosophy • Education program linked to an Operational Observatory • Internships at Government Labs • Co-ops with Industrial Partners

  15. Summary • Products - Make Maps, Time Series • Observatories -Go Cheap, Go Distributed • Funding - Save Lives, Save Money • What’s Missing? - The People • The Solution - Operational Oceanography
