Agenda
IOP schedule (and beyond)

Timing:
* Sept 12 – 19th: Sally Ride, Oceanus, Sproul all present
* Oct 5-14th: Oceanus presnet

So clearly the 12-19th Sept. is can be a bonanza for intensive with all 3 vessels (+ many small boats).

Logistical Questions:
* Will aircraft be flying during these periods?
* Which PIs are doing “intensive sampling”
* What is each PIs plan?
* How do we coordiante them?
* Where/when do ships survey?

Science Questions:
1) nonlinear internal waves
2) wind driven circulation and relaxation
3) eddies and sub-mesoscale.
4) topographic effects
5) turbulence and mixing
6) Surfzone transitions processes (rips, exchange, etc.)

To do:
For each Platform/Group:
– Assess budgets/constraints for time on site for each group
– Wish list for science goals (time, space scales)
Collect updated survey locations (moorings?)
