THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTAL OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEM (SCCOOS) REQUESTS $25M OVER FIVE YEARS TO SUSTAIN AND EXPAND AN END-TO-END COASTAL OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEM SPANNING THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BIGHT. THE PROPOSAL SUPPORTS FLAGSHIP OBSERVING ASSETS ALONGSIDE DATA MANAGEMENT AND CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS, REGIONAL DOWNSCALED MODELS, AND DATA USER ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES, ALL ALIGNED WITH THE SEVEN IOOS SOCIETAL NEEDS AND U.S. IOOS ENTERPRISE STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITIES. KEY DELIVERABLES INCLUDE SUSTAINED ESSENTIAL OCEAN VARIABLES DELIVERY TO NATIONAL DATA ASSEMBLY CENTERS, ADVANCEMENT OF THE CALIFORNIA HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM EARLY WARNING SYSTEM AS A PROTOTYPE FOR NATIONAL HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM OBSERVING NETWORK, AND CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR OPERATIONAL FORECAST SYSTEMS. THE PROJECT MODERNIZES AGING INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH FLEET RECAPITALIZATION AND SENSOR UPGRADES AND INTEGRATES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE/MACHINE LEARNING-READY DATA PIPELINES TO SUPPORT NEXT-GENERATION COASTAL PREDICTION AND ECOSYSTEM FORECASTING ACROSS THE CALIFORNIA CURRENT LARGE MARINE ECOSYSTEM.
