Chris - I like the white paper, seems like an appropriate strawman. Some comments: 2nd paragraph, intro: you discuss how environmental information is most useful presented, but isn't this something the responsible agencies do for themselves? Rather that develop the final product, aren't we (speaking as the regional effort) aiming to augment the data flow into their applications? Just want to make sure we understand how best to help, and that we don't give the impression that we feel we should be taking over this responsibility. 5th paragraph, intro: why single out NCOM? Given the general nature of the discussion, might it be better to remove this phrase. Or try to list all available models? disc: I find this to be a mix of current status and longer-term vision. It might be best to clearly identify assets available now or in the near-term that can be drawn upon soon, and those activities that will require significant new money and resources. plan of action: sounds like we have some notio

From an education perspective, I like the team approach as I envision this as the topic of the year (or two year) in which the research, extension and education focus on a specific topic. For example, I look forward to the search and research effort combining with the circulation models so that next year we can develop an appropriate awareness poster for the region and also have the group feed ideas to the educators about inquiry lessons. We are testing this idea with small groups of teachers and researchers this year and finding some success. This type of directed discussion and action makes the time involved have distinct and measureable products.

Chris, While I agree that perhaps not enough thought went into the initial organization, and I also admit that I was originally nonplused by the Teams concept (I was afraid of one more level of work leading nowhere - so I am taking no credit whatsoever for the Teams concept), I must say that now I am firmly behind it, with a caveat, of course. If we limit each team to an enumerated set of topics on which we can indeed perform, then each Team may potentially overcome the cultural barriers and advance the way in which academics, government and private sector groups engage. If we make the Teams too broad then we will have neither the energy nor the personnel to perform well enough. So in that sense we could reorganize and expand, but I would prefer to use the workshop to cull what we have down to a mutually agreeable set of topics within three teams (waves, fisheries, SAR, or however we want to reword these) and attempt to do good work on a limited few foci. I believe that we are saying si

Bob - I think we need to re-examine the organization of our application teams; they were originated without a lot of forethought. For example, to have a "waves team" is like having a "currents team" or a "T/S team". Also, much of the Lagrangian info needed for spills & SAR and for fisheries is in common. Maybe we need an "integrated sea level (storm surge, tides, and waves) team", a "drift and dispersion (Lagrangian) team", and an "offshore operations and habitat (Eulerian) team". It would also be good to re-analyze the categorical needs of our user communities from the practical perspective of organization and communications. Some of this will be made a lot clearer when we meet our non-academic partners. - Chris Bob Weisberg wrote:

Re: SEACOOS MEM White Paper and its SAR Appendix (11 JUL 05)

Bob Weisberg — 2005-07-12T15:04:58

Chris and Team members, Attached are some quick comments on the two documents. My main point, I think, is that if we are to engage in any area of societal importance then we must recognize that we are intruding on someone's purvue, be that someone NOAA, CG, local emergency managers, FEMA, EPA or whomever. So the trick will be how to do this constructively. If we cannot do this then we cannot be in COOS. It has taken the Teams concept to really bring this to light so how we approach the Teams activities will greatly influence the course of academic involvement in COOS. Bob Christopher N. K.

SEACOOS MEM White Paper and its SAR Appendix (11 JUL 05)

Christopher N. K. Mooers — 2005-07-12T02:37:06

Dear Colleagues (whoever you may be) - Attached are two items for your consideration. We want to evolve said items further prior to the upcoming SEACOOS Workshop, so your thoughtful comments are welcome --- the sooner the better so I can have some reaction time. We will be seeking input from a broader group, too. - Cheers, Chris Mooers

All, I added a few thoughts (with track changes) as attached. I beliee that we can use this same doucumetn to address harmful spills since the same information are needed. What wouold have to be added is a paragraph giving the contacts and line o authority for harmful spills. There are both national lines of communication and state and local lines. I will make some inquires as regards the local lines here.
