Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA): Delivering actionable coastal and ocean information from high-quality science and observations for the Southeast
Sponsor: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Collaborators
SECOORA: Debra Hernandez
North Carolina State University: Ruoying He
Fathom Science LLC: Joseph Zambon
Funding Period
July 2021 – June 2026
Description
The primary goal of this project is to support all three SECOORA theme areas by developing the state-of-the-art prediction capability and near-real time nowcast/ forecast for regional-scale marine environment conditions. The resulting capability to model and predict the transport of heat, salt, organisms, nutrients, and pollutants bears materially upon SECOORA’s ability to address all important scientific and societal issues related to 1) Coastal Hazards and Climate Variability, 2) Ecosystems (both living marine resources and water quality), and 3) safe and efficient Marine Operations.
Results
Work is in progress.
