1. The first CoOP study, Distribution and Transport of Larvae of Inner-Shelf Benthic Invertebrates, was initiated off Duck, NC in 1992. This region has not been widely studied because the strong wave activity on the inner shelf makes it difficult to maintain moorings and to operate ships. The interdisciplinary CoOP project focuses on the suspension and cross-shelf transport of sediments and the planktonic larvae of inner-shelf benthic invertebrates.
2. In order to develop a quantitative, mechanistic understanding of how gases are transported between the coastal atmosphere and ocean, in 1995 CoOP initiated a program, Coastal Air-Sea Chemical Fluxes, to improve our ability to estimate chemical fluxes in coastal regions.
3. The two CoOP Projects begun in 1997 on Cross-Margin Transport Processes in the Great Lakes have completed their field and synthesis years at the end of 2002, and have developed a Special Issue of Journal of Geophysical Research. Manuscripts submitted to the issue are listed in the August 2002 CoOP newsletter and are posted on the EEGLE website. Contact Brian Eadie of EEGLE or Sarah Green of KITES for more information.
