15. Glider Strategy Workshop Aug 1-3, 2012 Feedback from the Deepwater Horizon Incident Command Center “…Thanks to everyone for all of your efforts to support the Response and the very professional and competent manner in which you have executed your efforts. IOOS has played a huge role in informing the modeling teams and the Unified Command through your extraordinary service. “ - Sam Walker (IOOS representative to Deepwater Horizon Unified Command Center), August 6, 2010 “… AWESOME JOB - that call that we had last week was a very good thing. You are taking a huge burden off of the team here who is trying to simply capture the deluge of assets now being deployed. “ - Sam Walker (IOOS representative to Deepwater Horizon Unified Command Center), July 2, 2010 “All - Greetings from Unified Area Command in New Orleans. I couldn't agree more - the IOOS community has acquitted itself very well during this entire incident. Not only has everyone provided valuable information - you have done it without getting in the way of the ongoing operations. It's been a pleasure to represent IOOS here and see all the great contributions from the larger IOOS community. “ - Sam Walker (IOOS representative to Deepwater Horizon Unified Command Center), June 18, 2010 Composite of Satellite Observed Oil Spill Locations We did not get in the way We reduced the burden We informed modeling teams & leadership
