Huntington Beach Area
As part of the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS),
the California State Coastal Conservancy (SCC)
has funded the Coastal Ocean Currents Monitoring Program (COCMP) to
provide real-time maps of surface currents along the southern California coast.
HF radar systems, providing hourly gridded maps of surface currents from roughly 1 km to 25 km offshore, are the backbone of COCMP. In addition, intensive sampling of the nearshore region, that part of the ocean extending from the shoreline to a few km offshore, was done for a portion of Huntington Beach during late summer of 2006.

Surface drifters deployed during the Huntington Beach intensive sampling study:
- Provided real-time maps of nearshore surface currents
- Demonstrated transport pathways for upper ocean pollutants
- Quantified fine scale motions included in HF radar average values
- Will validate trajectories determined from numerical ocean models
