Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System

SCCOOS brings together coastal observations along the Southern California Bight to provide information necessary to address issues in coastal water quality, marine life resources, and coastal hazards.
Working interactively with local, state and federal agencies, resource managers, policy makers, educators, scientists and the general public, SCCOOS will improve our understanding and delivery of coastal observations, and will allow us to better manage our coastal ocean environment. Access realtime and archived SCCOOS data collected within the Southern California Bight (SCB). Find related data products, information on metadata, database schema and data flow charts. SCCOOS modeling efforts include ROMS-based Integrated Modeling of the Southern California Coastal Ocean, Coastal Ocean Data Assimilation System (CODAS), ocean swell propagation modeling, sediment transport modeling, and wind-wave generation modeling. OurOcean Portal provides access to many of these products.
