Rincon buoy update• On Friday March 8 at 3 PM the Rincon buoy
mooring broke, apparently from a boat strike
• CDIP personnel called with the news at 4:15 PM
• By 5 PM we had a jetski on the water• By 7 PM buoy was on shore• Rubber bungee cord shows sign of being
snapped under stress, not cut• Ironically, this happened on the eve of the
largest swell of the year

Advancing CariCOOS: Providing data from large scales to small scales to aid your day to day operations
• In FY 2011-2016, focused on developing core assets, tools and products required by shore dependent sectors, particularly:– Very high resolution wave models & observations– Very high-resolution coastal circulation modeling– Very high-resolution coastal wind modeling &
observations – Rapid bathymetric surveying and seabed
mapping capabilities – Water quality products
• Examples of Specific Applications– SAR Operations & Safe navigation– Beach safety– Oil spill and pollutant modeling– Recreational sector

Application #1: Waves & erosion from Hurricane Sandy
• Extreme WNW swell angle• Significant coastal flooding &
erosion• CariCOOS performed before
and after bathymetric surveys
![Page 15: Operational modeling of waves and currents at beach and harbor scales The CariCOOS T EAM](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56816211550346895dd23cec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Morphological Response: Hurricane Sandy
• After Sandy, offshore sand migration was observed in both beach profiles.
• For further details please see Patricia Chardon’s poster

High-resolution coastal circulation modeling

Under development: operational coastal circulation modeling at beach and harbor scales• Effort led by Dr. Stefano Leonardi • Sea state variables used to generate initial and boundary conditions are taken from
the AmSeas NCOM model. • The AmSeas model has a 3km resolution with 40 vertical levels. The model
assimilates SST, altimetry (SSH) as well as profile temperature and salinity into a 1/8 degree global NCOM model.
• K-profile turbulent profile for vertical parameterization. • Open lateral boundary conditions.
– Flather condition: Barotropic variables (2D). – Orlansky condition: Baroclinic variables (3D).
• Forcing:– Tides– Winds– Rivers– 3D baroclinic structure from AMSEAS

Conclusions & Future Plans• We have successfully developed an operational wave model
(99.1% up-time) which resolves wave transformation at beach and harbor scales
• Validation of SWAN shows significant improvement over previous versions of SWAN as well as NWW3 forecasts (for further details please visit our poster)
• Future plans– A very high-resolution coastal circulation model will be validated and fully
operational by the 2014 General Assembly – Nearshore product integration into GIS web service– Implementation of CariCOOS-WRF wind model forcing (please see Dr. Luis
Aponte’s poster) into SWAN to improve prediction of the daily wind wave signal
