Center for Oceanographic-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS)
COAPS performs research in air-sea interaction, ocean and coupled air-sea modeling, climate prediction,statistical studies, and predictions of social/economic consequences due to ocean-atmospheric variations.
Students in COAPS come from a wide variety of departments including meteorology, mathematics, computer science, and physical oceanography. COAPS is funded by several federal agencies, producing original published papers that advance our understanding of the ocean and the atmosphere.
The RCC and COAPS have worked together for many years to conduct large-scale computational research.
