1 Southeast Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA) Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) and Regional Association OVERVIEW Parker Lumpkin, Special Project Manager SECOORA

2 An Update on Ocean Observing Sustained and Integrated Ocean Observing Systems (IOOS) are analogous to the weather observing and forecasting network IOOS has been endorsed by the Pew Commission, the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, and in the Administration’s Ocean’s Action Plan (Dec ’04)

3 Central California Pacific Northwest Great Lakes Northeast Mid-Atlantic Southeast Gulf of Mexico Southern California Alaska Hawaii Caribbean Population Density In 2000, 53% of the U.S. population lived in coastal counties Regional Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (RCOOS)

4 SE region is linked oceanographically, experiences similar forcing (winds and river runoff) and has a shared biogeography. A merged information system for the region will help address scientific and societal issues. III Loop Current/ Florida Current/ Gulf Stream Nick Shay, RSMAS SECOORA

5 SECOORA – SEACOOS Data Assets

6 An observing subsystem (measures and transmits data) An information management subsystem (organizing and disseminating information) A modeling and products subsystem (translating data into products for users – computer modeling) Outreach and education subsystem – to assess users needs, develop educational material and help develop needed products SECOORA includes the coasts of NC, SC, GA and FL, from the EEZ to head of tide, and consists of:

7 Observing the Coastal Ocean in many ways, with varying tools

8 HF-radar either deployed or funded and examples of data products using two different radar systems off of Miami and the Outer Banks.

9 Satellite remote sensing products: Sea surface temperature, color, height and derived currents, plus value added enhancements using optimal interpolation techniques to fill in cloud gaps.
