Brief project summary:
This project will develop the Northeastern Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System. Regional user requirements identified inundation, harmful algal blooms, water quality, and living marine resources as specific concerns in the Northeastern Region. There are three objectives of this proposal: (1) operate a core of observing elements; (2) establish new observing capabilities for inundation, water quality, and harmful algal bloom, and (3) develop the design for the user-driven core observing system.
