Abstract

Abstract : The overarching goals of SURA s Coastal Ocean Observing and Prediction (SCOOP) program are to complement the efforts of Ocean.US by taking on the task of data integration at the national level. For coastal science, the SCOOP Program is extending SURA s footprint beyond the southeastern states. SURA aims to assure that emerging regional systems serve the broader needs of a truly integrated and coordinated system that will benefit the entire nation. SCOOP is building upon the Data Management and Communications (DMAC) plan developed by the Ocean.US DMAC Steering Committee. The DMAC plan lays out a strategy for integrating regional systems with a national backbone, however, implementation has yet to begin on a large scale. SURA leaders see the SCOOP Program as an opportunity to create a new paradigm in integrated coastal research.
