Brief project summary:
This project will have a region-wide focus and be conducted by leveraging extensive existing regional observation assets. The primary themes are maritime safety and ecological decision-support though coastal inundation and water quality are also important areas of emphasis. Investigators will coordinate, sustain, and expand on-going ocean observing and forecasting activities to generate regional-scale data and other products in real-time across the full Mid-Atlantic region and extending in the Bays and Sounds.
