The Coastal Storms Initiative

Coastal Storm Initiative Florida Regional Map

NOAA's Coastal Storms Initiative (CSI) is a cross cutting Multi-Line Office Initiative designed to achieve an enhanced, seamless observation-to-user capability across NOAA. CSI will provide accessible data and information, forecasts, value-added tools and training for users regarding coastal storm impacts within coastal watersheds. CSI has nine pilot projects that cover a wide spectrum of activities in or near Jacksonville Fla.

Improved Oceanographic and Meteorological Observations - Pilot Project

NDBC station 41012 is a first step in the Improved Oceanographic and Meteorological Observations pilot project. Under this project, national and state observations will be upgraded and configured to a common standard. The real-time data streams will be merged and will support other CSI projects such as the Improved Prediction of Coastal Winds, Waves, and Flooding.
