The Carolinas Coastal Ocean Observing and Prediction System (Caro-COOPS) Funded by the National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration A partnership among the University of South Carolina, North Carolina State University, & the University of North Carolina-Wilmington

CARO-COOPS A user-driven system of integrated coastal & ocean observations & information products: An array of instrumented moorings/stations An array of instrumented moorings/stations A comprehensive data management system A comprehensive data management system Integrated models of coastal and ocean processes Integrated models of coastal and ocean processes Information product delivery to wide range of users Information product delivery to wide range of users

Instrumentation for Near Real-Time Observations… Instrumented moorings (4) - Current velocity & direction, wave height & direction, temperature, salinity, pressure, chlorophyll; & meteorological data - ADCP (Workhorse); Seacats; WeatherPaks Water level/meteorological stations (3) - Supplement NOAA NWLON, NDBC, & C-MAN stations - Supplement NOAA NWLON, NDBC, & C-MAN stations - Aquatrak Assembly

Long Bay Stations Pier-Based Station (Sunset Beach) Pier-Based Station (Sunset Beach) –Water level, 2.5 feet off bottom (16’ high tide depth) –Winds, air temp & pressure, humidity Nearshore Station (10 m depth, ~ 2.9 miles) Nearshore Station (10 m depth, ~ 2.9 miles) –ADCP: Current speed & direction; wave height, period, direction –Seacat + P: Water level; temperature and salinity near bottom –Weatherpak: Wind speed, gust, direction, air temp, air pressure, relative humidity, solar radiation

Long Bay Stations Offshore Station (30 m depth, ~ 45 miles) Offshore Station (30 m depth, ~ 45 miles) –Coming Soon –ADCP: Current speed & direction; wave height, period, direction –Seacat + P: Water level; temperature & bottom –Seacat + FL: Water temp, salinity, chlorophyll near surface 15 min. intervals, moorings report ~ 1.5 hr 15 min. intervals, moorings report ~ 1.5 hr Continuous records downloaded during redeployments Continuous records downloaded during redeployments

Integrated Ocean & Coastal Modeling Coastal/Estuarine Modeling & Environmental Prediction System (CEMEPS) Unique features: 3-dimensional circulation model 3-dimensional circulation model Incorporates precipitation/runoff/river discharge Incorporates precipitation/runoff/river discharge Offshore wave field forecasts (coming soon) Offshore wave field forecasts (coming soon) Can incorporate real-time meteorological & oceanographic measures from Caro-COOPS Can incorporate real-time meteorological & oceanographic measures from Caro-COOPS

Caro-COOPS Role Smaller-scale focus than regional and federal ocean observing systems Smaller-scale focus than regional and federal ocean observing systems –Localized data aggregation and integration –Tailored information products Assist with local research coordination and synthesis efforts Assist with local research coordination and synthesis efforts
