18 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Marco Polo - Hurricane Ike

19 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Marco Polo - Hurricane Ike - Displacement

20 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Marco Polo - Hurricane Ike - Wave Heights

21 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Workshop Status and Developments l Goal is to identify core group of potential collaborators and prioritize science questions. l Agenda is almost complete. Still looking for people to discuss a few topics. l Approximately 50 people will attend (NOAA, NASA, universities, industry) l Key contacts made include NOAA/IOOS, FAA, Shell Oil, Forest Oil, Devon Energy l Still would like to identify research vessel collaborator (WHOI, U.W., SCRIPPS, NOAA)

22 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Outline l Caribbean Project l Ocean Platforms Workshop l Future MRI Proposal l Direction for future ground-based GPS research

23 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Real-Time Network Collaborative MRI Proposal between UNAVCO, COSMIC, and Unidata

24 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Simulation of PW as a Nowcasting Tool Done, et al, 2005: “..we conclude that observing instrumentation capable of providing 10 min repeat cycles at a resolution of 10 km would be able to detect significant moisture convergence, and provide useful warning for the possibility of severe convection.”

25 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Blended GPS and Radar Data

26 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Outline l Caribbean Project l Ocean Platforms Workshop l Future MRI Proposal l Direction for future ground-based GPS research

27 COSMIC Retreat - October 2008 Summary and Discussion Topics l Survey reveals a relatively high level of satisfaction from user community »Identified some areas for improvement in service »Helped to prioritize future direction of group l Ground based group has identified future topics based on scientific interest, potential impact, and community input »CI and nowcasting research »Ocean based platforms »Soil Moisture sensors »Climate monitoring l Need to diversify funding sources
