Concept information
Preferred term
NODC/COL
Definition
- The Coastal Ocean Laboratory (COL) participates in the acquisition of global oceanographic data, with emphasis on the coastal oceans, estuaries, bays, adjoining seas, and the Great Lakes, processes the data, and ingests the data into data bases. It develops product data bases and other derived products for use by NODC's various coastal ocean stakeholders, and it maintains databases on line for electronic access by the coastal science and stewardship constituency. The COL performs research and develops new methods and techniques for using coastal physical, biological, and chemical oceanographic data, collected at great expense to the United States and foreign countries, to determine the role of various processes within the world coastal oceans that contribute to the coastal marine system. The COL prepares NODC technical publications and prepares scientific papers/articles for scientific journals and meetings. The COL defines requirements for new NODC coastal ocean data and information products and coordinates the development of such products.
