  1. SEA-COOS The Southeast Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing System A regional observing system for NC, SC, GA and FL H. Seim, E. Kearns, R. Weisberg, J. Nelson, F. Werner, C. Mooers, M. Fletcher, J. Thigpen, R. He

  2. SE region is linked oceanographically and experiences similar forcing (winds and river runoff). A merged information system will help address scientific and societal issues Loop Current/ Florida Current/ Gulf Stream

  3. Founding members University of North Carolina Affiliates Naval Surface Warfare Center/USN University of South Carolina Skidaway Inst of Oceanography NAMOC/USN University of Miami CO-OPS/NOS/NOAA National Data Buoy Center /NOAA Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary/NOS/NOAA NCEP/NWS/NOAA University of South Florida NCSU (Sea Grant) South Carolina Sea Grant University of Georgia (Sea Grant) University of Florida (Sea Grant) Miami WFO/NWS/NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center/NMFS/NOAA South Carolina Department of Natural Resources NCDDC/NOAA Pending Affiliates Proposed Affiliates South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council Florida Marine Research Institute Coastal Services Center/NOS/NOAA Beaufort Marine Laboratory Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Florida Space Port Camp LeJuene Integrated Observing Network/USMarines SeaKeys Field Research Facility/USACE Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory/NOAA Jacksonville WFO/NWS/NOAA SEA-COOS members (Feb. 2004)

  4. Governance model –formalizes coordination of activities SEA-COOS funded institutional representatives and some external Other institutions, industries, agencies and organizations Coordination of region-wide components of system, open to external groups The chairs of the working groups Sat R.S waves

  6. SEA-COOS Over-Arching Goal • To significantly increase the quantity and quality • of environmental information from the coastal • ocean of the SE U.S. and facilitate its use in a • wide range of societal, scientific, and educational • applications • Initial Focus • physical ocean state estimation • Fisheries • Biogeochemical indicators

  7. (Talk: Weisberg et al.)

  8. (Poster: Edwards et al.)

  9. Wellan Radar (WERA) initial testing on the West Florida Shelf (WFS) – Nick Shay, RSMAS.

  10. WERA-ADCP Comparison from WFS deployment in 2003 (Shay)

  11. Long-range CODAR in NE North Carolina (poster: Stearns, Muglia, Seim, Bane; UNC-CH)

  12. Poster: Liz Williams and Ed KearnsUniversity of Miami - RSMAS

  13. Products portal – GIS-like but open-source and browser independent

  14. First variable – winds Can pan and zoom without loss of resolution…

  15. …even animate…

  16. He and Weisberg – USF – studied ocean response to different wind forcing on WFS. A comparison between an OI blending of NOAA EDAS and observed winds with the observations at all WFS buoy and coastal stations sampled during a peak upwelling event on March 5 2001.

  17. Ocean model simulation improvements with OA wind analyses EDAS wind forcing OA analysis (EDAS & Obs.) wind forcing (Weisberg)

  18. Beginning to compare EDAS and measured winds on a larger scale m/s Magnitude of average difference in speed (Jan 13-Feb 10)

  19. And average difference in direction (largely offshore?) m/s

  20. Now working to include additional variables…sea surface temperature next

  21. Portal includes querying capability of all layers…

  22. Also…. A cloud free SST product, designed to help with real-time modeling (Talk: He and Weisberg)

  23. Outreach/education/collaboration with: Federal agencies (by PIs) – to coordinate resource allocation and address national needs Management agencies (by Sea Grant and PIs) – to address regional need and impact policy decisions Non-scientific users (by Sea Grant/COSEE) – to address local need and increase stakeholders awareness of the system Broader science community (by PIs) – to increase scope of issues addressed by the system Private industry (by all) – to develop products and consider components that can be transitioned (poster:Thigpen et al.)

  24. SEACOOS Summary • Organizational structure established; working with SERA on greater regional engagement • Multiple sensor platforms operating • Initial data exchange standards adopted, and observation mergers underway • Subregional modeling efforts coordinated and barotropic results on website • Evaluation of model capabilities against observations underway • Outreach user surveys initiated, working with regional COSEEs • Big role in Interoperability demo (testing OGC-based exchange of GIS layers)
