State of the CA HFR Network

Transcription

1 ~12 years old (Statewide Network) ~15 years (Scripps, BML) >20 years (Monterey Bay & Santa Barbara) Funding Sources CA Prop 40 (2005) NOAA IOOS (Ongoing O&M)

2 Freq (MHz) Count Total 60 Temporarily Offline (Red): ~4-6 units, typically (causes are typically power, site logistics, radar equipment in need of repair) Some redundancy helps Longer Term (White): No spares available or long term works needed (power, land, etc)

3 Personnel (CeNCOOS) John Largier (UCD/BML)* Doug George (UCD/BML)* Deedee Shideler (UCD/BML) Marcel Losekoot(UCD/BML) Chad Whelan (CODAR)* Max Hubbard (YGH) Jeff Paduan (NPS)* Mike Cook (NPS) Fred Bahr (MBARI) Ian Robbins (CalPoly) CODAR support staff

7 Current Users (CeNCOOS) Coast Guard Search & Rescue NOAA PORTS (SF Bay) Ferry Pilots (Bay Currents App) Ocean Scientists/Modelers Yi Chao Modeling effort

8 HF Radar Public Data Distribution and Benefits 1. Search and Rescue - U.S. Coast Guard - Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System (SAROPS) 2. Oil Spill Response California Office of Prevention and Response (OSPR) Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) Emergency Response Division (ERD) - General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment (GNOME) 3. Assessment - OR&R Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) - Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA) 4. Weather - NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS-II) 5. Modeling SCCOOS 3km ROMS model (Yi Chao)

11 CeNCOOS Increasing Outreach Doug George hired as HFR PI Looking at current uses of data, trying to understand end user needs Look at existing network configurations Look at new scenarios for network or funding Doug & Fred Implementing Plume tracking (Thanks Scripps/SCCOOS!!!) Doug looking at convergence zone mapping Reach out to NOAA NERRS

12 Planned Changes SF Bay Gulf of Farallones Relocate Trinidad CODAR 25 MHz in Mbay Developing plans to reduce HFR sites

13 Plans for future SCCOOS participation & new initiatives 1. Continue Maintenance and Operations of SCCOOS HF Radar Network 2. Visit local U.S. Coast Guard SAROPS Offices 3. Coordinate APMs 4. Expand QA/QC validation efforts 5. Publish West Coast Atlas 6. Gap Fill with additional HF Radar sites PROPOSED FUTURE SITES Rincon Beach Park Santa Barbara Island West Catalina Island Santa Rosa Island
