Ocean Transport Questions:Will the Oil…• Come ashore in Louisiana?• Spread east to Texas or west to Mississippi &
Alabama in the wind-driven coastal currents?
• Enter the Loop Current and be advecteddownstream?• Impinge on the Florida Shelf and be driven
shoreward by winds?• Ride the Loop Current south and hit the Florida
Keys?• Be advected out of the Gulf of Mexico by the
Gulf Stream and impact the East Coast?
• How much is below the surface?

Deepwater Horizon: IOOS Participation/Value
Added
“…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
“… 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
“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

Towards Development of a Global Glider Display
Minimum Requirements: timestamp, latitude, longitude
3 Options for data sharing:
1 – Ship datasets to a few central locations (RU-COOL?, EGO?).
2 – Individual locations serve up JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) for actively
deployed gliders (Google Maps) .
3 – Individual locations post datasets on local webservers/fileservers with guest
account access.
Alternate Suggestions?
