This page lists important results from the daily OSSE coordination and decision meetings. See OSSE Field Deployment for the OSSE deployment.

Daily Briefing, 11/3, 2pm ET

• TBD

Kick-Off Telecon, 11/2, 2pm ET

• Participants: Oscar, Scott, Wendell, Julia, John W, John K (all at Rutgers), Steve, David T, Yi, Peggy (at JPL), Michael, John G (at UCSD), Arjuna, Stephanie, Wayne (at MIT), Avijit, Julia, Rich S
• The OSSE field deployment has started successfully. Four Rutgers gliders are in the water; several OSSE participants are present at Rutgers COOL room. Everything is on track.
• On Sunday, JPL and Rutgers integrated successfully shore-side waypoint planning and glider operations. Current predictions and glider status lead to JPL computed shore-side waypoint plans that were converted to glider mission files and uploaded to the gliders
• Gliders: Oscar has provided 3 rough waypoints to spread the gliders out. David determined refined waypoints based on shore-side planning. Starting tomorrow, the group will determine issues and decide waypoints during 2pm call as input for shore-side planning.
• Arjuna compiled a field operations plan listing assets and timeline, see attachment to Field Deployment page.
• Arjuna is on the way to NJ. Equipment expected to be at Tuckerton field station Tuesday evening. Some shipment damages. Working on fixes.
• David: Glider waypoint planning and prediction data available on OSSE data portal as Google Earth plugin. Past waypoint plans and actual glider trajectory are accessible on a daily basis. Current waypoint plans are breadcrumb trail for gliders. If glider happens to fly past waypoints it still tries to resume the waypoint list. Current predictions should avoid unexpected glider movement.
• Yi: Working on weighed ocean model ensemble based on accuracy information collected during the experiment
• David will run mission planning procedures similarly for AUVs to be available Wed evening.
• Yi: Provides daily morning summary to OSSE Data Portal Daily Summary (11/01)
  
• Steve: EO-1 overpass times available. Need a website with exact lat/long. Satellite swath only 7.5km wide and 60km long by default. Spatial resolution is 30m per pixel. Sat images will be posted on portal (with some download delay)
• Oscar: Will finish today's blog. Setting up social collaboration website and Twitter account. Will provide daily blog to Yi for integration in the summary.
• Wayne and Pierre have been working on providing a comprehensive MIT model output. This will be a separate website and not integrated with the data portal
• Julia: Detailed Rutgers model output and analyses available on Rutgers website
• Gliders surface daily at 1pm ET. Provide input for 2pm briefing telecon
• There is a weather pattern developing that might lead to gliders being pushed off course. This can be a proof for the current prediction and automatic waypoint planning procedures
