CORIE is a pilot environmental observation and forecasting system for the Columbia River. Within the Observation Network link, shipboard and buoy data are accessible. Buoy station data include real time water temperature, salinity, and conductivity. Archived buoy data from up to 15 days prior is available. Shipboard data includes real time, when vessel is active, and archived salinity and temperature ... Full description.

An excellent source of real-time data for the South Atlantic Bight. The data include: wind, meteorological, and oceanographic data, wave and tide data, irradiance and backscatter data, and current data. For most measures, data are available for both the surface and bottom. The site also features archived web cam videos and a highlight reel. Also available are detailed figures that diagram the SABSOON ... Full description.

The VIMS data buoy provides real-time data including air and water temperature, water salinity, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and water current and wave information for the York River at Gloucester Point, Virginia. The buoy is one piece of a long-term project to provide real-time data for accurate predictions of ecosystem processes in Lower Chesapeake Bay. Full description.

An interactive online database containing real-time and archived weather data from stations throughout Chesapeake Bay, with more on the way. Real time parameters include temperature, wind speed and direction, wind gusts, pressure, humidity, and rainfall amount. Archived data points consist of 21 different parameters recorded every 30 minutes. Full description.

COMPS consists of an array of instrumentation both offshore and along Florida's west coast, combined with numerical circulation models, and builds upon existing in-situ measurements and modeling programs. In addition, COMPS links to the USF Remote Sensing Laboratory, which collects real-time satellite imagery. Data and model products are disseminated here in real-time. Site also includes links to ...

This easy to use, comprehensive website includes a wealth of real-time and archived data, as well as several lesson plans. Using the highly-interactive map, you can access stations that measure parameters including air and water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and water clarity in the Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay. The lesson plans cover salinity, dissolved oxygen, and harmful algal ... Full description.

CORMP's goal is to provide an interdisciplinary science-based framework that supports sound public policy leading to wise coastal use, sustainable fisheries and improved coastal ocean ecosystem health. This site features an easy to use interactive map with real time and archived buoy and weather station data for southern North Carolina and South Carolina. The site also includes teacher resources including ... Full description.

The Mauna Loa atmospheric CO2 measurements constitute the longest continuous record of atmospheric CO2 concentrations available in the world. The Mauna Loa site is considered one of the most favorable locations for measuring undisturbed air because possible local influences are minimal. Methods and equipment used to obtain these measurements have remained essentially unchanged during the 47-year monitoring ... Full description.

This comprehensive site is an introduction to sea ice: what it is, how it forms, how it is studied, how it affected historical expedition in the polar regions, and what role it plays in the global climate. The site contains a glossary of sea ice terms and references to additional information, which all serve as an excellent introduction. Data are also available from various collection methods for ...
