Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies

The Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) is a center of excellence performing interdisciplinary research in ocean-atmosphere-land-ice interactions to increase our understanding of the physical, social, and economic consequences of climate variability. COAPS hosts a marine data center specializing in underway observations from research vessels and remotely-sensed data from satellites. The data center actively collects, quality evaluates, and distributes data in delayed-mode to the marine climate community.
