SUMMARY
We describe the background, architecture and implementation of a user portal for the
SCOOP coastal ocean observing and modeling community. SCOOP is engaged in real
time prediction of severe weather events, including tropical storms and hurricanes, and
provides operational information including wind, storm surge and resulting inundation,
which are important for emergency management. The SCOOP portal, built with the
GridSphere Framework, currently integrates customized Grid portlet components for
data access, job submission, resource management and notification.
