Overview
The San Diego Coastal Ocean Observing System provides a gateway for up-to-date oceanographic, weather, and water quality data for the San Diego coastal region.Funded under the California Clean Beaches Initiative, the system merges a number of emerging technologies used for oceanographic and environmental sensing into a regional sensor network to provide a heightened awareness of the coastal environment.Partnerships established with this program has enabled a direct link between the information generated by this observing system, Scripps oceanographers, and a wide audience of end-users including local and regional agencies, policy makers, and the public at large. Stay tuned as the system grows and expands.
