Many government agencies, military forces, corporations, and individuals operate routinely in the coastal ocean. Furthermore, the ecosystems in these areas sustain important fisheries and tourism industries.

ICON is developing a capability to monitor and model coastal ocean conditions to improve both real-time and climatological predictions.

As examples, we expect products such as the following to result from ICON and other NOPP projets:

Real-time displays of ocean currents for navigation and hazardous spill containment.High-resolution, three-dimensional current, temperature, and available nutrient fields for accurate ecological modeling of upwelling systems.
