Ehime Maru vs USS Greeneville• 9 Feb 2001 USS Greeneville collided with a Japanese
training and fishing vessel Ehime Maru
• Ehime Maru sank in ~ 600m of water, ~17km south of Diamond Head (Oahu, Hawaii)
• 26 of 35 crew members were rescued, 9 remaining crew members were assumed trapped inside the vessel
• After an environmental assessment & under mounting int’l pressure the US Navy agreed to attempt to recover the bodies

Environmental Concerns
• There was still concern that during relocation a release of
contaminants (diesel fuel & lubricating oil) could occur
– Beach Contamination
– Marine Mammals, Migratory Birds, Sea Turtles, etc.

________________________________________
NOAA OR&R’s Mandate
• To determine, through the use of oil-plume models, the optimal sea state and wind conditions necessary to avoid beach contamination

Summary
• Scatterometers provide valuable information in many regions of the world ocean that are sparsely sampled by ships and buoys
• Anticipated uses:– Oil spill mitigation– Training and emergency response planning
