The ability to access user-friendly, low-cost instrumentation remains a limiting factor in coastal ocean observing. The majority
of currently available marine observation equipment is difficult to deploy, costly to operate, and requires specific technical skills.
Moreover, a harmonized observation program for the world’s coastal waters has not yet been established despite the efforts of the
global ocean organizations. Global observational systems are mainly focused on open ocean waters and do not include coastal
and shelf areas, where models and satellites require large data sets for their calibration and validation. Fortunately, recent technological
advances have created opportunities to improve sensors, platforms, and communications that will enable a step-change in
coastal ocean observing, which will be driven by a decreasing cost of the components, the availability of cheap housing, low-cost
controller/data loggers based on embedded systems, and low/no subscription costs for.....
