Implementation of SABSOON

Abstract

We seek to develop an interdisciplinary real-time coastal ocean observing network that will provide users with continuous information on coastal ocean conditions. A number of applications are envisioned. Resource managers and the weather service will use the monitoring data to better predict and manage the use of the South Atlantic Bight (SAB) coastal waters. Academic researchers will use the network for targeted research and as a test bed for sensor development. The network can also serve as the nucleus of an observing system that will provide in-situ observations for a nowcast/forecast regional coupled ocean/atmosphere model of the SAB.
