This site provides data sets and graphical display tools for viewing and analyzing mean ocean surface current data from the tropical Pacific Ocean. Ocean surface velocity data is collected via satellite and made available to users as latitude/longitude and time series plots. Users can select location range, date range, data type, and plot type to create graphical displays. This resource is part of ... Full description.

This interactive map viewer allows users to visualize and download in-situ oceanographic or atmospheric data from a Dapper OpenDap server. The map can be zoomed or dragged, with an in-situ station layer that allows selection of data stations, and a plot window that allows users to plot data from one or more stations. Datasets (temperature, salinity, current, chemistry) include realtime global Argo ... Full description.
