New Funding to Study Gulf of Mexico Currents
Drs. Steve Morey, Dmitry Dukhovskoy, and Eric Chassignet are part of a team that will be funded by the Research Partnership for Securing Energy for America to conduct research entitled "Hi-Res Environmental Data for Enhanced Ultra-Deep Water Operations and Safety." The collaborators include Fugro GEOS, WeatherPredict, and Petrobras America, Inc. The project will involve observation and modeling of deep and surface currents in the Gulf of Mexico with emphasis on forcing by winter storms and hurricanes. |

Supplemental Funding for Marine Data Center
New supplemental funding for a National Science Foundation "Rolling Deck to Repository" grant will allow marine data center personnel at COAPS to contribute to the Ocean Data Interoperability Platform (ODIP) project. ODIP will aid in the removal of barriers hindering the effective sharing of data across scientific domains and international boundaries. The new funding will provide workforce training and international liaison experience to two students at FSU. The students will be part of a team of student programmers led by Shawn Smith who, along with their mentors at FSU, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, will develop new computer techniques to facilitate the exchange of information between the SAMOS project at COAPS and data centers in the US, EU, and Australia.
