SURA Coastal Ocean Observing and Prediction (SCOOP) Program: Integrating Marine Science and Information Technology

Abstract

The overarching goal of the Southeastern Universities Research Association s (SURA) Coastal Ocean Observing and Prediction (SCOOP) Program is to advance environmental prediction and hazard planning for our nation s coasts. This multi-institution collaboration between ocean scientists and IT experts is creating a distributed network of shared resources that will broaden access to the requisite data, models, computational resources, and other key components of a real-time environmental prediction system. The SCOOP partners are creating a service-oriented architecture (SOA) that will enhance coastal ocean observing and modeling and enable a virtual community to share tools, resources, and ideas. In addition to serving as an integrating component of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), the architecture will provide the Navy with a portable suite of methodologies to manage and visualize observed and modeled data on coastal phenomena.
