Monthly Teleconference: 2017- 08-02

Inner Shelf DRI Monthly Meeting 2017-08-02

attendees: Just about everyone

Strawman plan posted on the blog
Moorings will dictate final timing/availability for the surveys
Turnaround cruise will have more opportunity for added surveys
May add 17^th or 18^th of Sept survey day for Oceanus
Could receive most recent satellite imagery via Roland/Hans for internal wave tracking
NLIW lines represent 1 hour out and back
- Distance is approx. e-folding of dissipation scale
- Oceanus and SR will have radar recording
- 3 modes of surveys, focused, Refraction, broad scale
- 12 to 14 transects per cycle
CTD surveys
- Stratification obs for modeling out to 200-250 m for N transect
- Cross-shelf at Pt. Sal
Headland Eddies
- Eddie timescale – hour
- Vorticity decay also observable with planes (SAR, IR) and drifters. Question about wind regime for SAR (offshore winds shadowed by headlands)
Meso/submeso -scale flow
- Sample on box perim. (blue takes 6 hrs @ 4 kts)
- Repeated to determine lengthscales and statistics
- One day for vorticity alongshore transects
- Combine vorticity and mesoscale surveys

Skype of call – will try calling first, cell coverage expected to be okay
2000 local time every day (can use APL conference line)
Planes will txt points of contact for each group on takeoff, use airband radios while in the air

APL plane – green, SAR is yellow due to permissions in review
APL in situ – green
SIO plane – greenish, airspace looks green
SIO Drones – operate Oceano beach
SIO ship – green
NPS ship – green, permits in for Pt Purisma moorings and NSFW moorings and active acoustics
Hans/Roland – greenish on satellite, yellow/green radar on Oceanus
Spindrift – green on wave buoys, constructing mooring
Tony – green on radars, yellow onLF6 power, green on met buoys
SIO drifters/moorings – green
OSU – radars green
OSU ship – green on ship ops and moorings
Sproul – yellow/green
