Japan Tsunami Debris - Marine Debris Program

Submitted by RIJS on Sun, 12/13/2020 - 21:38

Item Description

The model gives NOAA an understanding of where debris from the tsunami may be located today, because it incorporates how winds and ocean currents from the past year may have moved items through the Pacific Ocean. This model is a snapshot of where debris may be now, but it does not predict when debris will reach U.S. shores in the future.
