Coastal Ocean Monitoring and Prediction System (COMPS)

The Coastal Ocean Monitoring and Prediction System (COMPS) is a scientific setup that tracks and forecasts the conditions of coastal waters. Using a network of sensors and data collection tools, COMPS gathers information on ocean temperature, currents, waves, and other elements. This data helps scientists and authorities understand surf conditions, monitor environmental health, and predict changes or hazards like storms or pollution events. By providing real-time insights, COMPS improves safety for maritime activities and supports sustainable management of coastal ecosystems.
