6. Innovative solutions for a safer, better world BUILDING STRONG ® FY15 Activities  Directional Wave Data Collection (CDIP) ► Maintained 59 directional wave sites USACE / DPR-DBW / US Navy / IOOS-RA / Others 99.78% return on real-time data IRIDIUM Migration ~100% complete ► US Navy donated four 0.7m Datawell directional waverider buoys Could be used (Rovers/R&D) low energy environments Outfitted with IRIDIUM tophats ► Three new sites (Externally Funded) Egmont Channel, FL (offshore Tampa Bay) Anacapa Passage, CA Long Beach Channel, CA

7. FY15 Activities  New CDIP Sites (Externally Funded) Long Beach Channel, CA NOAA Egmont Channel, FL NOAA-PORTS Anacapa Passage, CA US NAVY Use of new sites: WIS Evaluation / Island Sheltering / Spectral Transformation

8. Issues & Help Required  Execution issues: ► Contracting Performance Period Execution ► Not yet but thinking in the future IRIDIUM Service Burden Exemptions ► USACE’s Role in the Arctic?  Anticipated cost growth : ► Costs will continue to increase It is fixed for the next 3 years under Cooperative Agreement ► Gaps in measurement sites: Rovers Support of WIS where measurements are needed USACE field offices want to fill

9. Innovative solutions for a safer, better world BUILDING STRONG ® Issues & Help Required  Opportunities : ► IOOS-Regional Associations ► US Navy / Marines ► BOEM/DOE ► External partners ► NOAA/NCEP and ECMWF discussions ► IOC/WMO/JCOMM

10. Good News Stories We Can Tout  Five Year Research Cooperative Agreement: SIO ► Multi-faceted incorporating use of wave measurements ► Functionally improved working directly with SIO / CDIP  Three additional sites at no cost  Four 0.7m Datawell Directional Waverider buoys  Significant advancements in wave data real-time and archiving ► DMAC Compliant ► Template for other wave measurement providers

11. Good News Stories We Can Tout

12. Lessons Learned  What has worked? ► Strong cooperation with CDIP / SIO / Federal Liaison ► Contracts / Legal ► External buoy sites increase measurement array at low cost to USACE ► State of California DPR / DBW with new MOU ► Growth of collaboration and research opportunities ? ► IOC/WMO/JCOMM international recognition of USACE wave measurement program ► FLOSSIE Deployment
