What do we type into OSCURS? when it was lost or abandoned when it was collected where it was lost (N & E coordinates)

Which one shows latitude lines? Quick Review: Latitude & Longitude N E W S Latitude: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dzichelp/v2r2/topic/com.ibm.db29.doc.spatial/0sbp5006.gif Longitude: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dzichelp/v2r2/topic/com.ibm.db29.doc.spatial/0sbp5007.gif Longitude East and West Latitude North and South Which one shows latitude lines? Longitude?

The OSCURS path follows ocean currents! OSCURS model The OSCURS path follows ocean currents! Ocean current map

Example Scenario Surfing with Waggles Christmas Day, 2006 Waikiki Beach, Hawaii Waggles loses his board Coast Guard finds board 3 years later Where did it end up?!

How do we use OSCURS? WHERE the surfboard was lost (Waikiki Beach, 21.27oN, 202.17oE) WHEN the surfboard was lost (Dec. 25, 2006) HOW LONG the surfboard was lost (found 3 years later, so Dec. 25, 2006 + 3 years = Dec. 25, 2009) Then, input your dates and coordinates into OSCURS
