CoOP (Coastal Ocean Processes) is an organization meant to study major interdisciplinary scientificproblems in the ...coastal ocean. Its goal is "to obtain a new level of quantitative understanding of the processesthat dominate the transformations, transport and fates of biologically, chemically and geologically important matter on the continental margin". Central to obtaining this understanding will be advances in observing andmodeling the cross-shelf component of transport. More specific objectives are to understand 1) cross-marginexchanges, 2) air sea exchanges, 3) benthic-pelagic exchanges, 4) terrestrial inputs and 5) biological andchemical transformations within the water column. CoOP research will be carried out primarly through aseries of process-oriented field studies, each involving about two years of measurements. Each of these fieldstudies is to be initiated and defined through a community workshop. In addition to the process studies, CoOPwill also involve modeling, long time series, exploratory studies, remote sensing, technological innovation, dataarchiving and communications. A CoOP pilot study has been approved for funding by the National ScienceFoundation, and funding will begin in 1992. The CoOP science effort is thus already underway.
