NOAA used a computer model to simulate the movement of tsunami debris from March 11, 2011, to the present day. This GNOME model (General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment) simulation is based on ocean surface currents from the US Navy (the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model) and winds from NOAA (the NOAA blended wind product). The computer model simultaneously released 1,000 simulated particles from each of 8 locations on the Japan coastline where tsunami wave heights were 3.5 meters or greater.
