| NEOCO
as an Ocean Observing System |
The
Network for Environmental Observations of the Coastal Ocean is an
ocean observing system with a network of sites along the coast of
California. Ocean observing systems consist of the sensors, personnel
and the data management system necessary to obtain, process and
distribute the in situ observations in a regular and sustained
manner. |
| Coastal
Observation Sites |
| Coastal
observation sites with instrument packages deployed on piers are
being established at Bodega Head (UC Davis), Fort Point
(UC Berkeley),
Santa Cruz (UC Santa Cruz), Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara), Santa
Monica (UC Los Angeles), Newport Beach (UC Irvine) and La Jolla
(UC
San Diego). |
| Data
from NEOCO sites are made available in real-time |
| Data
is available to anyone with Internet access, by visiting the Data
Products link on this website. Every sample is a 30 second mean.
Data points are reported every 4 minutes from each site and are available
on the website usually about eight minutes after sampling. |

Network
Data Transfer
Datastreams are obtained automatically, in real-time, using oceanographic
instrumentation at each observation site. This
spatially distributed network transfers data to a relational database
management system with web accessibility and reliable archiving.
