Hurricane Matthew Resources Page and Blog
SECOORA partners and US IOOS Regional Associations - CariCOOS, MARACOOS, and SECOORA - are prepared to capture the Hurricane Matthew in real time.
Matthew, a category 3 hurricane, is traversing north up the South Atlantic Bight. SECOORA and US IOOS support marine weather buoys, high frequency radars, models and other tools that provide insight on the storm.
SECOORA has set up a RESOURCES PAGE and experts are contributing information on the storms progression on our new BLOG. Use our data portal to overlay multiple data sets for an integrated visualization of coastal data in Matthew's path. Read More >

SECOORA Glider Observatory
Four gliders deployed during September 2016 journeyed along the South Atlantic Bight through the footprints of SECOORA funded assets - high frequency radar, buoys and SABGOM model output. Two gliders were deployed in Port Canaveral, Florida and the other two in Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary in Georgia. The effort was part of the SECOORA Regional Glider Observatory Network composed of experts and gliders from five universities. Read More >

Training the Next Generation
Congratulations to Julianna Diehl and Andrew Reid for completing their summer coastal and ocean observing internships with SECOORA, US IOOS and University of South Florida College of Marine Science. Under the mentorship of Dave Easter (US IOOS), Jay Law (USF CMS) and Vembu Subramanian (SECOORA), the undergraduate students learned hands-on the importance of coastal ocean observing by outfitting moorings, acting as chief scientist during an annual mooring maintenance cruise, and becoming a certified American Academy of Underwater Sciences Scientific Diver.

IOOS 2016 Fall Meeting
U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System Program Office leadership, the 11 Regional Association directors, and IOOS Association staff and board members met in Anchorage, Alaska for the 2016 IOOS Fall Meeting. Discussion focused on ecological forecasting gaps, water level observation capacity, precision navigation, and data management. Partners of the AOOS (Alaska Ocean Observing System) demonstrated the use of ocean acidification sensors at a local shellfish hatchery and hosted a tour of NOAA's Kasitsna Bay Lab.

Global Ocean Acidification Portal
There is a new interactive
data portal that features global ocean acidification data from cruise lines and moorings - for example pH, pCO2, and aragonite saturation state. It also includes an asset inventory and metadata from 330 world-wide GOA-ON partners from 67 countries. The portal was built by NANOOS (Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems) and launched by NOAA Administrator Dr. Sullivan at Secretary Kerry's "Our Ocean Conference" in September 2016.
