Summary
Abstract: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is implementing a real-time
Coastal Ocean Observing System (NCCOOS) for North Carolina that will provide
additional data needed to give more accurate predictions of ocean and coastal
processes.

NCCOOS consists of an array of instrumentation both along the coast and
offshore, combined with numerical circulation models, and builds upon existing
in-situ measurements and modeling programs funded by various state and federal
agencies. This observing system fulfills all of the requirements of the Coastal
Module of the Global Ocean Observing System (CMGOOS). Data and model products
are disseminated in real-time to federal, state, and local emergency management
officials via the internet (URL http://nccoos.unc.edu/).
