The Front Resolving Observational Network with Telemetry (FRONT) experiment is designed to evaluate the feasibility of making useful coastal ocean forecasts with a coarse array of instruments that telemeter physical and biological data in near-real time and assimilative numerical models.The FRONT products will be compared to observations obtained during intensive survey campaigns.
