14. Interactive Web Site: browse model results, view model grid data, side by side comparisons, and MUCH MORE Unstructured Grid Support: Time series extraction completed for FVCOM, SELFE, ELCIRC, ADCIRC. Matlab Toolbox: standardized data transformations, new methods for comparing data (including unit conversion). Coordination with OOI-CI Matlab as a Web Service: Matlab processes - no desktop license required. Skill Assessment Tools: Measure the degree of correlation between model prediction and observations Collaborative Web Site: public/private access to portal, content organization with internal/external tools. Cyber Infrastructure Team Results

15. Responding to Crisis: Deepwater Horizon U.S. IOOS partnership demonstrated ability to: Quickly deploy technologies: Gliders and HF radar, saving resources/improving safety Models/Imagery ingested into NOAA/Navy models Data assimilation improved spill response decision-making and public understanding USM HFR USF HFR TS Bonnie Web Portal 15 HFR data informed NOAA trajectory forecasts Briefing Blog HFR validation of SABGOM Forecast with satellite detected oil slicks

16. Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) Buoys The peak tsunami wave at DART Station 21418 located 470n mi northeast of Tokyo. At 1.8m, this is the largest peak wave recorded by DART. Graphic courtesy NOAA / PMEL / Center for Tsunami Research

17. Responding to Crisis: Japan Tsunami Response 17 CeNCOOS: Recorded the tsunami passage with U.S. IOOS sensors Five-fold increase in web traffic NANOOS: Featured “Tsunami Evacuation Zones for the Oregon Coast” application NANOOS Visualization System provided easy access to current and water height data Four-fold increase in web traffic PacIOOS: Provided the only real-time water level and turbidity measurements for Waikiki Ten-fold increase in web traffic

18. For the tsunami event, we provided information via Facebook in three groupings: a) Initial info including link to tsunami portal; b) graphs of water level for various locations; c) synthesis information NANOOS and the use of Social Media Visits to the NANOOS Facebook page showed heightened interest about the tsunami. Yellow stars indicate posts by staff to the NANOOS FB page, and the red star indicates the day of the tsunami. NANOOS joined Facebook in April 2010 to augment our traditional outreach methods. www.facebook.com/NANOOS.PNW
