9 Annual Highlights Modeling Ongoing/In Development California 3 km ROMS Coupled ROMS/Biogeochemical Model Nationwide Efforts West Coast Coastal Ocean Model Testbed (COMT) West Coast Ocean Forecast System (WCOFS, Bruce Cornuelle and Jim McWilliams on the Technical Advisory Committee) Nearshore Wave Prediction System (NWPS, SCCOOS is providing validation at Long Beach) Audience and Users POTW US IBWC CA State Parks Coastkeeper Heal the Bay WiLDCOAST USCG NOAA Office of Response and Restoration

10 VLCC 1200 ft. length June San Pedro Wave Buoy measured 21ft peak, at sec. An ATC Oil Tanker rolled 10 degrees at the Long Beach Breakwater entrance. The vessel had a 55 ft. draft, 160 ft. wide. The roll increased the draft to 64 feet. (Channel currently dredged to 69ft)

11 With Zero Pitch: Example: 1,100 foot tanker with 65 draft 76 channel 65 Max Draft per Coast Guard 11 Under Keel Clearance With 1 degree pitch, the draft increases 9.6 feet! 76 channel 65 Max Draft per Coast Guard Result: Only 1.4 foot Under Keel Clearance!

13 Annual Highlights Pacific Anomalies Workshops Workshop 1 May 5/6, 2015 Generated a series of research and development questions and issues related to the Pacific temperature anomaly. Cross-discipline Coastal/global Workshop 2 January 20/21, 2016 Goal: Improve how these significant oceanographic variations developed, their impact on our water, weather and economic well-being Improve predictive capabilities Workshop 3 TBD (~ Feb 2017) Follow up to work on INTEGRATION & PUBLICATIONS
