Interactive Drifter Trajectory for Search & Rescue and Oil Spill Response
IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
SLIDE 2 Why do we need an interactive drifter trajectory (IDT) tool?
- Marine search-and-rescue (SAR) operations
– Accurate information is critical during the early hours of response
- Forecast errors & search area grow rapidly with time
- Extreme conditions increase the risk to human life dramatically
- Oil spill response
- Needs for user-friendly interface and easy data access
– Interactive interface with no humans in the loop – Data interoperability with USCG/ASA and NOAA/GNOME environmental data servers
IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19 2
SLIDE 3 Interactive Drifter Trajectory (IDT) developed by JPL/UCLA
- Funded by NASA as a 3-year (2009-2011) project in
collaboration with USCG, ASA, and AOOS
- First IOOS funding by CeNCOOS -Steve Ramp
– Drifter releases one at a time or in cluster
- Further development funded by AOOS -Molly
McCammon and Carl Schoch – Drifter releases use ensemble ROMS forecasts – Field tested in Prince William Sound 2009

Interactive Drifter Trajectory (IDT): Release drifters one at a time
SLIDE 5 5
Single Drop Mode
IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
SLIDE 6 6 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
Click to release or type in location in long/lat
SLIDE 7 7 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
Release one or several individual drifters
SLIDE 8 8 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
Specify the drifter depth (surface vs 10-m, etc)
SLIDE 9 9 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
Specify the start and end time (day/hour)
SLIDE 10 10 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
Click Compute & Plot:
You have submitted a new request, asking the hourly ROMS forecast surface current to produce drifter trajectories over the specified period
SLIDE 11 11 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
It should only take a few seconds
If it takes more than a minute, you should email or call Yi Chao
Drifter will stop once hitting land.
SLIDE 12 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19 12
Interactive Drifter Trajectory (IDT): Release drifters in a cluster
SLIDE 13 13 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
Multiple Drop Mode: M by N configuration 20 drifters = 4 x 5
SLIDE 14 14 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
It takes a little longer, please be patient
But if more than a minute, email or call Yi Chao Drifter will stop once hitting land.
SLIDE 15 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19 15
Interactive Drifter Trajectory (IDT): 16-member Ensemble ROMS forecast
(with more computing power, we can do more than 16 members if needed)
SLIDE 16 16 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
Click to release or type in the location in long/lat
SLIDE 17 17 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
Click Compute & Plot:
You have submitted a new request, asking the16-member ensemble hourly ROMS forecast surface current to produce drifter trajectories over the specified period; each ensemble member differs slightly in its initial condition with everything else exactly the same
SLIDE 18 18 IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
The ensemble takes longer, ~2 min for 2-week drifting period)
(Reducing the drifting period takes less time)
Drifter will stop once hitting land.
SLIDE 19 Future Work
– Data interoperability with USCG/ASA (NASA funded) and NOAA/GNOME environmental data servers

Web-Based Virtual Drifter Tracker
IOOS Products Workshop, May 17-19
(Work in Progress, with Glen Watabayashi)
SLIDE 21 Future Work
– Apply the developed drifter trajectory tool with HF radar gridded (gap-free) current – Provide drifter trajectory tool and service to other interested RAs
– Develop a national IOOS-wide drifter trajectory tool
