The Innovative Coastal-Ocean Observing Network (ICON) was a partnership of many regional scientists designed to exploit a combination of observations and models of the upwelling circulation around Monterey Bay. In the two years of the project, a good deal of new data was collected and a good start at circulation modeling and data assimilation was made.
This talk will focus on what we learned, both socialogically and scientifically. It will also highlight new measurements collected during MUSE (Aug 2000) as a bridge between ICON and ongoing programs.
