NOAA OSCURS ~ Ocean Surface Current Sims

Thanks to gCaptain for spotting NOAA's efforts to understand ocean currents through the tracking of tsunami-related marine debris...
"Citizen monitoring and reporting can help NOAA scientists better understand the location and nature of the debris generated by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Ships traveling the Pacific Ocean and beachcombers on the coast can now report significant sightings. If reporting a sighting, be sure to include what you saw, when you saw it, and where it was located."
They've got tracker apps and emailables plus they've tried to model what will happen via OSCURS...
