3 DAYS' FORECAST FOR THE GEORGIAN BLACK SEA COASTAL ZONE
A regional forecasting system of the Black Sea state for the Georgian coastal zone is developed at the Department of Mathematical Modeling of Geophysical Processes in the Sea and Atmosphere of the Institute of Geophysics of Iv. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University within the framework of EU International projects ARENA and ECOOP. The regional forecasting system is one of the parts of the Black Sea Nowcasting/Forecasting System and enables to calculate 3 days’ forecasts of current, temperature and salinity fields for the Georgian Black Sea coastal zone with 1 km spacing.
The regional forecasting system is based on a high-resolution 3-D regional prognostic model of the Black Sea dynamics developed at the Institute of Geophysics (RM-IG). The regional prognostic model with 1 km grid step, which is based on a primitive equation system of ocean hydrothermodynamics in hydrostatic approximation, is nested in the basin-scale model (BSM) of the Black Sea dynamics of Marine Hydrophysical Institute (MHI, Sevastopol, Ukraine) with 5 km grid step. Numerical algorithm is based on the splitting method applying with respect to physical processes and geometrical variables.
The Black Sea regional area is limited to the Caucasus and Turkish shorelines and the western liquid boundary coinciding with a meridian 39.360E( near Tuapse city). Data needed on open and upper boundaries, also the 3-D initial hydrophysical fields for the easternmost regional area are provided operatively from MHI via FTP site. These data on the open boundary are values of velocity components, temperature and salinity predicted by the BSM of MHI and on the sea surface 2-D meteorological boundary fields predicted by the regional atmospheric model ALADIN are used.

4 decades of Belgian marine monitoring project
Long-term change in contamination, eutrophication and acidification indicators has been reported from the North Sea and adjoining coastal waters during the last decades. Although corresponding data have been extensively collected during numerous campaigns at sea, no quality-checked, intercalibrated and integrated data sets with sufficient temporal and spatial resolution exist for these parameters for the Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS). This seriously hampers evaluating long-term environmental change in this heterogeneous and complex area, where various factors and processes, operating at different spatial and temporal scales, impact marine ecosystem status and health. Designing and implementing Integrated Coastal Zone Management actions in the BCS requires a thorough and correct understanding of environmental change in the area, and this in turn needs robust historic (and future) long-term data sets.
In the BCS, modern oceanography, with systematic campaigns for assessing the quality of the marine environment, started with the “Projet Mer/Projekt Zee” (PMPZ) in 1970. Within this first phase of the Belgian Federal North Sea Research Programme, all compartments of the marine ecosystem were studied. This initial program was followed by other research actions, programs and monitoring campaigns, resulting in a large set of valuable historic data on the marine environment of the BCS. The use of these data however suffers from two major drawbacks. First, many historic data are still only available on paper, scattered across different Belgian institutions. Second, many of these programs were carried out more or less independently from one another. The lack of coordination, continuity and integration resulted in inconsistencies in spatial sampling coverage and resolution, sampling frequency, data storage, and changes in measurement techniques and conditions. In addition, methodological changes were also implemented because of technological advances [e.g. the routine adoption of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) methods in phytoplankton pigment oceanography since the late 1980’s] and new opportunities (e.g. the use of remote sensing (RS) for phytoplankton and turbidity monitoring since the mid-1990’s). Assembling data from different time periods, often obtained with different spatial coverage and resolution, and with different methods is typically a source of error that must be estimated and corrected.
The 4DEMON project was therefore designed to build quality-checked, intercalibrated and integrated data sets on the marine environment in the BCS, and use this data for assessing environmental change in this area.

A Biological Valuation Map for the Belgian Continental Shelf - Flanders Marine Institute
BWZee is a two-year project (April 2004-March 2006) carried out by five Belgian research groups (see partners) in the framework of the SPSD-II research action of the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office. The project aims to develop a scientifically acceptable and widely applicable valuation strategy for marine areas and to apply this strategy to the Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS). The end-product should be an integrated, full-coverage biological valuation map representing the biological and ecological value of all subareas within the Belgian BCS.
Different ecosystem components will be integrated in the valuation exercise, namely macro-, epi- and hyperbenthos and seabirds. Biological valuation maps that compile all relevant (and available) biological and ecological information of an area and allocate an overall biological value to different subareas within that area can be a very useful warning system for future management decisions.

Along-Track Near Real-Time Sea Surface Height Anomaly Data Ocean Surface Topography from Space - NASA JPL
These maps show a daily sample of the along-track near-real-time (NRT) sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) measurements from SARAL and the Jason-2 satellite altimeter mission. The seasonal cycle and trend have not been removed. Each map is generated from a 10-day window of SSHA measurements. The NRT SSHA measurements from these missions are typically available within 5 to 7 hours of real time.
These measurements can be used for meteorological applications (i.e. weather), marine operations (i.e. fishing, boating, offshore operations), and other applications where knowledge of current ocean conditions are relevant.

American Tropical Seas Observatory - Institute for Marine and Coastal Research of Colombia
The Tropical Seas of the Americas Observatory Portal (TRITON) is an initiative of the Geosciences Program of the Institute for Marine and Coastal Research - INVEMAR (Colombia). TRITON aims to be a tool to support research, productive activities and the follow-up of the evolution (monitoring) of oceanic conditions in the Caribbean region. To this end, TRITON displays in an almost permanent way and in close to real-time (between 6 hours and 2 days late) highly relevant oceanographic information in the highest spatial resolution possible for the entire basin.
The global oceanographic information displayed in TRITON comes from or has been processed from different satellite databases and free access to numerical model outputs. Its original sources can be consulted in the links provided together with the information corresponding to each variable. The data processing is carried out through PYTHON modules and later it is stored in NetCDF format. The information is displayed through a THREDDS 4.6.9 server (Thematic Real-time Environmental Distributed Data Services) in WMS format. WMS services are consumed and interpreted through Arcgis 3.30 Javascript framework.

Planktonic ostracods are a neglected component of mesoplanktonic communities, despite being almost ubiquitous throughout the World's oceans. Currently the number of planktonic ostracods described from oceanic waters is 203. In addition there are 34 species of the family Thaumatocyprididae, which are predominantly either benthic or cavernicolous. We present a listing of the currently recognized species . In inshore waters, particularly in the vicinity of coral reefs, there is a great diversity of myodocopid ostracods that can be sampled in the water column especially at night. Most of these myodocopid species are not holoplanktonic, entering the water column at certain stages of their life histories. This site only covers the holoplanktonic species and does not deal with any of the neritic species.
In oceanic waters the vast majority of planktonic ostracods are halocyprids. They are often very abundant, and rank second to copepods in numerical abundance particularly in subthermocline waters. They may occur almost everywhere from the surface to abyssal depths. However, they are seldom encountered in the upper 100-200m of the water column at high latitudes (>50�), for example they are infrequently sampled by the Continuous Plankton Recorder, which is towed at 8-10m (Williams, 1975). However, their relatively small size (0.5->3mm) means their contribution to the overall planktonic biomass is usually small (<5%). Most species appear to be detritivores, seemingly adapted to exploit marine snow and other sinking particulates. The group frequently goes unreported, because there is a perception that they are difficult to identify, and so they are overlooked. This difficulty is more the result of a lack of good manuals of identification, rather than any greater intrinsic difficulty of identifying them compared with most other components of the plankton. As well as the halocyprids, there are eight very striking species of carnivorous deepwater myodocopids (i.e. Gigantocypris and Macrocypridina ) that are planktonic, but only two have been recorded from the Southern Ocean.
In preparing this atlas, we have compiled a complete inventory of published records for all known species that can be geo-positioned with reasonable accuracy. These data have been supplemented with a considerable body of unpublished data derived from material collected by Discovery Investigations mostly in the 1930's (identified by MVA). Our aim is ultimately to generate a global atlas for all the species. Here as an initial step we have focused on the species that have been recorded from the Southern Ocean . The criterion whereby we have chosen to include species is a single reliable record from south of 52�S. This reduces the number of species that are predominantly associated with low latitudes, but are advected into higher latitudes via mesoscale eddies. Other authors have used lower latitudes to delimit Southern Ocean species, for example Razouls et al. (2000) in their study of the biogeography of Antarctic copepods used 45�S as the northern limit of the Southern Ocean. Our compilation for these 47 species

Aquaculture Feed Resources database with the following 3 main components:
Anti-nutritional factors within feed ingredients: The inclusion of plant-derived feed ingredients is limited by the presence of a wide variety of anti-nutritional substances. Some of these are protease inhibitors, phytates, glucosinolates, saponins tannins, lectins, oligosaccharides and non-starch polysaccharides, phytoestrogens, alkaloids, antigenic compounds, gossypols, cyanogens, mimosine, cyclopropenoid fatty acids, canavanine, antivitamins, and phorbol esters. These can sometimes be inactivated by ingredient processing methods such as heat. This part of the database records the anti-nutritional factors found in specific ingredients and the method of inactivation and toxic level where available.
Ingredient digestibility report: An important part of nutrition research is to determine the diet and ingredient digestibilities for a particular species. This part of the database records the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of nutrients and energy in selected feed ingredients and for selected aquaculture species. Such studies can focus on one or all of the following: dry matter, protein, lipid, fiber or chitin, ash, calcium, phosphorus, nitrogen-free extract (carbohydrate), energy, average amino acid, and specific amino acids.
Ingredient analysis: Feed ingredient analyses are reported here, including data such as the ingredients suitable for specific aquaculture species, the ingredient proximate analysis and the ingredient detailed analysis.

The objective of this activity is to establishing a map of the arctic data management “ecosystem” or “universe”. This is both a concept map indicating projects, services and relationships as well as a geographic map indicating location (in a future iterations). The effort was started during the first meeting of the ADC in Potsdam, Germany, November 2014 and is an ongoing activity. The roadmap for this project includes establishing a linked open data end point that will allow people to query the database (i.e. using SPARQL). A prototype database and visualization tool has been developed and is scheduled for released in the last quarter of 2018. If you are interested in review the prototype, please use the contact informatio providee below.
In June of 2016, the concept of mapping the Arctic data ecosystem were presented by task lead, Peter Pulsifer, the second meeting of the Belmont Forum Funded Pan-Arctic Options Project. Similar concepts were being discussed by the Pan-Arctic Options team and other initiatives under organizations such as the Research Data Alliance have recently emerged. Starting in early 2017, this activity is now being carried out colloaboration with the Pan-Arctic Options project in collaboration with a number of other polar and global cyberinfrastructure initiatives. In June of 2018 an agreement in principle was reached to work with our partners at the Southern Ocean Observing System to map the data ecosystem related to their community. Results will be posted here and elsewhere.

Arctic Oil Spill Assessment - Alaska Ocean Observing System
This project integrated data products describing vessel traffic patterns, estimated oil spill impacts, and subsistence use data from the communities of Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Nuiqsut, and Kaktovik along the Beaufort Sea coast, and incorporated them into a unique tool for planners and subsistence community members. Spatial heat maps of vessel traffic density were developed by analyzing Automated Identification System (AIS) data from the Marine Exchange of Alaska and NOAA to isolate marine vessel corridors experiencing the heaviest traffic. Investigators ran over 100,000 oil spill trajectory scenarios powered by ocean circulation and atmospheric wind models initialized at locations and times corresponding with historical vessel traffic. Spill trajectory results were summarized to produce a spill impact density map for the Beaufort Sea. Subsistence use patterns were produced by aggregating individual subsistence mapping, harvest, and other socio-economic surveys from the Alaska Beaufort Sea communities of Utqiaġvik, Nuiqsut, and Kaktovik. These previously unavailable subsistence datasets include species descriptions, timing and area for targeted species, and other traditional ecological variables for each community. The subsistence mapping and species distribution data were compared to the spill impact density maps to estimate how different subsistence activities and their relative timing could be impacted in the event of a spill. The data gathered and synthesized through this project are now publicly accessible through an interactive web-based mapping tool as a mechanism for increasing public, private sector, government, and community knowledge about possible spill effects to subsistence uses in the US Arctic.

On November 16, 2018, NOAA released ASSIST, a new system for submitting questions and reporting nautical chart errors to NOAA's Office of Coast Survey. ASSIST has a mobile-friendly design and improved user interface that allows customers to access the system conveniently from any device.
This new tool replaces Coast Survey's Inquiry and Discrepancy Management System (IDMS), a non-spatial system used to collect comments, inquiries, and discrepancy reports since 2008.
ASSIST is a spatially enabled inquiry and discrepancy management system. It uses a Web AppBuilder front end to allow users to visualize NOAA raster and vector charts and tag issues with comments using a web form.
It uses ArcGIS for Maritime Server services for visualizing the latest ENC data. ASSIST also uses ArcGIS Workflow Manager on the back-end to create and manage jobs for items that are submitted. ArcGIS Workflow Manager tracks the life cycle of the item from submission to closure.
These improvements streamline the internal Coast Survey workflow, allowing faster, more efficient responses to customers.

Automated Shore Stations - Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System
These pages show current ocean observations from moored sensors on piers throughout southern California. Data shown below include limited data quality checks and flags in live feed mode, and may not capture all sensor drift, biofouling or malfunctions. Post processed data with a full suite of data quality checks and validation samples will be available soon.
Automated shore stations consist of a suite of sensors that are attached to piers at several locations along the California coast. These automated sensors measure temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, and water level at frequent intervals in the nearshore coastal ocean. This data can provide local and regional information on mixing and upwelling, land run-off, and algal blooms.

Balearic RIssaga Forecasting System - SOCIB (ODIS id: 2034)
The Balearic RIssaga Forecasting System (BRIFS) aims to quantitatively predict the occurrence of extreme sea level oscillations associated with meteotsunamis in the Menorcan harbour of Ciutadella. Combining both atmospheric and oceanic modelling, the system is run once a day in the morning and provides a 48-hour prediction of air pressure disturbances and associated sea level response over the Balearic shelf and in Ciutadella harbour.
The Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) is implemented in a two-nested-grid configuration over the Western Mediterranean basin, with a grid refinement (4km) over an area around the Balearic Islands extending to the South until the Algerian coast. Ninety-seven vertical levels are employed with a finer resolution in the lower levels to adequately resolve the characteristic inversion layer associated with Rissaga phenomena. Initial state and boundary conditions are prescribed from the synoptic atmospheric conditions described by the FNL/GFS analysis/forecast from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).
WRF air pressure outputs with a 2-minute temporal resolution are used to force a two-nested grid configuration of the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS). ROMS is a 3D free-surface, split-explicit primitive equation model with Boussinesq and hydrostatic approximations. Due to the 2-dimensional nature of the processes involved in the build-up of the rissaga, BRIFS does not consider any density stratification. The larger domain covers the Balearic Islands with a horizontal resolution of 1km. It provides the boundary conditions to the inner domain, which covers the area around Ciutadella with a spatial resolution of 10m.
Further details of the system configuration can be found in Renault et al. (2011).

Calypso - HF Radar Monitoring System and Response against Marine Oil Spills in the Malta Channel (ODIS id: 437)
Calypso - HF Radar Monitoring System and Response against Marine Oil Spills in the Malta Channel
The CALYPSO HF radar network consists of multiple CODAR Seasonde radar stations on the Maltese Islands and the southern coast of Sicily, providing synoptic maps of sea surface currents in real-time every hour and with a high resolution and coverage in space.
CALYPSO is a 2-year project partly financed by the EU under the Operational Programme Italia-Malta 2007-2013 and co-ordinated by Prof. Aldo Drago from the Physical Oceanography Unit of the University of Malta. It brings together 3 other partners from Malta – namely Transport Malta, Civil Protection Department, and Armed Forces of Malta – and 4 partners from Sicily – ARPA Sicilia, IAMC-CNR Capo Granitola, Università degli Studi di Palermo (UNIPA), and Università di Catania (CUTGANA). The consortium consists of research entities and also public entities with responsibilities for civil and environmental protection, surveillance, security, and response to hazards.
The main project deliverable is the setting up of a permanent and fully operational HF radar observing system, capable of recording (in real-time with hourly updates) surface currents in the Malta Channel. The system consists of HF radar installations on northern Malta and southern Sicilian shores at selected sites and combines stations to elaborate and publish data to users.
Collected data, combined to numerical models, are intended to primarily support applications to optimize intervention in case of oil spill response as well as endow tools for search and rescue, security, safer navigation, improved metro-marine forecasts, monitoring of sea conditions in critical areas such as proximity to ports, and better management of the marine space between Malta and Sicily.

CARbon dioxide IN the Atlantic Ocean (ODIS id: 332)
The CARINA (CARbon dioxide IN the Atlantic Ocean) data synthesis project is an international collaborative effort of the EU IP CARBOOCEAN, and US partners. It has produced a merged internally consistent data set of open ocean subsurface measurements for biogeochemical investigations, in particular, studies involving the carbon system. The original focus area was the North Atlantic Ocean, but over time the geographic extent expanded and CARINA now includes data from the entire Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean. Carbon data from the Pacific Ocean are being synthesized in the PICES effort.
The CARINA database includes data from 188 cruises. The salinity, oxygen, nutrient, inorganic carbon system, and CFC data have been subjected to extensive quality control and adjustments have been made when necessary. The internally consistent data are available as three data products, one each for the Arctic Mediterranean Seas, the Atlantic, and the Southern Oceans (CARINA Data Products). In addition, all of the individual cruise data files have been made available in the WOCE exchange format in a single location (Cruise Summary Table) along with metadata and references. We strongly recommend users to employ the data products instead of the individual cruise files as the data in the latter have not been corrected for biases identified during the secondary QC. The CARINA effort is further described in the following as well as in the CARINA special issue of Earth System Science Data (ESSD) Journal.

It has produced a merged internally consistent data set of open ocean subsurface measurements for biogeochemical investigations, in particular, studies involving the carbon system. The original focus area was the North Atlantic Ocean, but over time the geographic extent expanded and CARINA now includes data from the entire Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean. Carbon data from the Pacific Ocean are being synthesized in the PICES effort.
The CARINA database includes data from 188 cruises. The salinity, oxygen, nutrient, inorganic carbon system, and CFC data have been subjected to extensive quality control and adjustments have been made when necessary. The internally consistent data are available as three data products, one each for the Arctic Mediterranean Seas, the Atlantic, and the Southern Oceans (CARINA Data Products). In addition, all of the individual cruise data files have been made available in the WOCE exchange format in a single location (Cruise Summary Table) along with metadata and references. We strongly recommend users to employ the data products instead of the individual cruise files as the data in the latter have not been corrected for biases identified during the secondary QC. The CARINA effort is further described in the following as well as in the CARINA special issue of Earth System Science Data (ESSD) Journal.

CEOS International Directory Network IDN
The CEOS International Directory Network (IDN) is a Gateway to the world of Earth Science data. The CEOS IDN is an international effort developed to assist researchers in locating information on available datasets. The directory is sponsored as a service to the Earth science community.
CEOS was established in September, 1984 in response to a recommendation from a Panel of Experts on Remote Sensing from Space and set up under the aegis of the G7 Economic Summit of Industrial Nations Working Group on Growth, Technology, and Employment. This Panel recognized the multidisciplinary nature of space-based Earth observations and the value of coordinating international Earth observation efforts to benefit society.
Accordingly, the original function of CEOS was to coordinate and harmonize Earth observations to make it easier for the user community to access and use data. CEOS initially focused on interoperability, common data formats, the inter-calibration of instruments, and common validation and inter-comparison of products. However, over time, the circumstances surrounding the collection and use of space-based Earth observations have changed.
The number of Earth-observing satellites has vastly increased.
Onboard instruments are more complex and are capable of collecting new types of data in ever-growing volumes.
The user community has expanded and become more diverse as different data types become available and new applications for Earth observations are developed.
Users have become more organized, forming several international bodies that coordinate and levy Earth observation requirements.
In response to this changing environment, CEOS has evolved, becoming more complex and expanding the number and scope of its activities. In addition to its original charge, CEOS now focuses on validated requirements levied by external organizations, works closely with other satellite coordinating bodies (e.g. the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites, CGMS), and continues its role as the primary forum for international coordination of space-based Earth observations.
Over the past three decades, CEOS has significantly contributed to the advancement of space-based Earth observation community efforts. CEOS Agencies communicate, collaborate, and exchange information on Earth observation activities, spurring useful partnerships such as the Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS). CEOS played an influential role in the establishment and ongoing development of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). CEOS, through the major investments made by CEOS Agencies in developing the space segment of GEOSS, continues to provide space-based Earth observations in support of GEOSS implementation.
CEOS Agencies work together to launch multi-agency collaborative missions, and such cooperative efforts have highly benefited users all around the world. CEOS also provides an established means of communicating with external organizations, enabling CEOS to understand and act upon these organizations’ Earth observation needs and requirements.

Characterization of aquaculture sites in the Republic of Mauritius (ODIS id: 410)
Characterization of aquaculture sites in the Republic of Mauritius
In line with its Programme 2015-2019 and its Vision 2030, the Government has through its Budget Speech 2016-2017, reiterated its strong intention of making the Ocean a pillar of its Economy. As referenced in paragraph 117 of the Budget Speech, the Government has tasked the Mauritius Oceanography Institute (MOI) with the responsibility of fully characterizing the aquaculture sites around mainland Mauritius. During the Financial year 2015-2016, MOI responded to a request from the Board of Investment to provide preliminary physical data at about 10 of prioritized sites. Amongst the parameters investigated were temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, bathymetry and current profiles.
In order to fully characterize the aquaculture sites, however, further analyses will include pH, salinity, turbidity, fluorescence, chlorophyll a, sediment and nutrient analysis, as well as analysis of pollutants. The MOI is soon to survey two offshore earmarked aquaculture sites at Anse La Raie and Trou aux Biches, with the collaboration of the Hydrography Unit of the Ministry of Housing and Lands.
Data on bathymetry, temperature, salinity, conductivity, fluorometry, current pattern, and turbidity are available at the sites marked in green in the map below.
Requests for data should be addressed to the Director of the Mauritius Oceanography Institute.

Chesapeake Bay Operational Forecast System - NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (ODIS id: 2454)
Chesapeake Bay Operational Forecast System - NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services
Oceanographic nowcasts and forecast guidance are scientific predictions about the present and future states of a water body (generally including water levels, currents, water temperature and salinity). These predictions rely on either observed data or forecasts from large-scale numerical models. A nowcast incorporates recent (and often near real-time) observed meteorological, oceanographic, and/or river flow rate data and/or analyzed (e.g. gridded) meteorological and oceanographic products. A nowcast covers the period of time from the recent past (e.g., the past few days) to the present, and it can make predictions for locations where observational data are not available. Forecast guidance incorporates meteorological, oceanographic, and/or river flow rate forecasts and makes predictions about the future states of a water body. A forecast is usually initiated by the state of a nowcast.
The wind data used to run CBOFS are based on the National Weather Service (NWS)/Real Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA) winds (for the nowcast) and an interpolation of the NWS North American Mesoscale (NAM)-12 atmospheric forecast model data (for the forecast). The NWS Global Forecasting System winds serve as backup winds for both the nowcast and forecast runs.
Additionally, CBOFS relies on Extratropical Storm Surge forecasts, CO-OPS' real-time water level, temperature and salinity observations, USGS river data, and the Global Real-Time Ocean Forecast System.
The new CBOFS grid has 332 x 291 points in the horizontal. The finest grid resolutions in the x- and y- directions are 34m and 29m, respectively, and the coarsest resolutions are 4895m and 3380m, respectively. The vertical grid follows the terrain and consists of 20 model levels. The CBOFS model domain was designed to include the whole of the Chesapeake Bay and a piece of the shelf to allow a realistic interaction between the shelf and the entrance to the Bay. The CBOFS grid and spatial extent is indicated above. The bathymetry of the Chesapeake Bay is indicated below. Note that the greatest resolution of the CBOFS grid corresponds with the major channels of the bay.
CBOFS runs on NOAA's High Performance Computers (HPC) in a new Coastal Ocean Modeling Framework (COMF) developed by CO-OPS. As a result, CBOFS has direct access to NWS operational meteorological products that it needs to run reliably. Nowcast and forecast guidance cycles are run 4 times a day (every 6 hours).
CBOFS output is in NetCDF format. An archive of CBOFS NetCDF nowcast and forecast files can be accessed from CO-OPS THREDDS server.
All CO-OPS official real-time products, including nowcast and forecast guidance from CBOFS are monitored by the CO-OPS's Continuous Operational Real-Time Monitoring System (CORMS). CORMS provides 24 hour per day, 7 days per week monitoring and quality control of sensors and data in order to ensure the availability, accuracy, and quality of tide, water level, current, and other marine environmental information. CORMS is intended to identify invalid and erroneous data and information before application of the data by real-time and near real-time users.

Chilean Wave Atlas
Welcome to the wave information website of the School of Oceanic Civil Engineering of the University of Valparaíso .
On this site you will find statistical and forecast information for waves generated within the framework of the Fondef-Idea IT13I20006 project "A Wave Atlas for Chile".
The statistical information presented in the section "Atlas de Oleaje de Chile" was generated with the Wavewatch III v.4.18 model calibrated from satellite and buoy altimetry measurements, which was later corrected for systematic errors. This information corresponds to the best available on the project completion date and meets the main objective and motivation, which is to make the statistical behavior of the waves off the coast of Chile freely available.
The swell information from the Atlas was analyzed with a level of detail rarely seen. Thus, it was possible to characterize the operational and extreme wave climate, also including advanced technical aspects such as storm surge duration, storm trajectory, spectral shape, multimodality and uncertainty, among others.
The wave forecast is generated with the Wavewatch III model from NOAA operational forecast wind fields . Information is delivered in deep waters and in front of the mouth of the most important ports. Climate change projections were generated from global climate models whose bias was corrected using information from the Wave Atlas. The information on historical swells was compiled from bibliographic sources, press archives, and records of the Chilean Navy.

Abstract
Welcome to the wave information website of the School of Oceanic Civil Engineering of the University of Valparaíso .
On this site you will find statistical and forecast information for waves generated within the framework of the Fondef-Idea IT13I20006 project "A Wave Atlas for Chile".
The statistical information presented in the section "Atlas de Oleaje de Chile" was generated with the Wavewatch III v.4.18 model calibrated from satellite and buoy altimetry measurements, which was later corrected for systematic errors. This information corresponds to the best available on the project completion date and meets the main objective and motivation, which is to make the statistical behavior of the waves off the coast of Chile freely available.
The swell information from the Atlas was analyzed with a level of detail rarely seen. Thus, it was possible to characterize the operational and extreme wave climate, also including advanced technical aspects such as storm surge duration, storm trajectory, spectral shape, multimodality and uncertainty, among others.

Coastal Habitat Mapping of the Falkland Islands - South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (ODIS id: 3044)
Coastal Habitat Mapping of the Falkland Islands - South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute
Historically, and to this day, the coastal and inshore marine ecosystems and resources have played an important role in the Falkland Islands. Knowledge of these coastal environments is essential for their management, yet comprehensive island-wide broad scale and fine scale coastal habitat maps are lacking. Such maps could form an important baseline from which to measure future change.
The DPLUS065 Coastal Habitat Mapping project aimed to fill this critical gap in coastal knowledge. The three-year project, concluding in March 2020, was grant aided by the Darwin Initiative through UK Government funding. The project utilised medium resolution satellite imagery, other geospatial data and local expert knowledge to develop broad scale coastal margin (terrestrial, intertidal and subtidal) habitat maps for the Falkland Islands. Where there was significant uncertainty in these broad scale maps, or in response to specific priorities from stakeholders, higher resolution habitat maps utilising very high-resolution satellite imagery or bespoke imagery captured using aerial drones were developed. The resultant habitat maps create an essential baseline, providing a basis for use in future planning, decision-making and monitoring.
The project brought together experts from SAERI, Oregon State University, the UK Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Shallow Marine Surveys Group, Falkland Islands Government and Government of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands, representing the leading edge in remote sensing, ecological knowledge and field expertise.
This webGIS presents some of the spatial outputs from the project, including:
1. a digital map of 1956 aerial imagery
2. a broad scale habitat map for the Falkland Islands
3. fine scale coastal habitat maps in locations of interest to stakeholders
4. aerial imagery captured by drone.

Coastal marine observatory site Gulf of Trieste (ODIS id: 387)
For long term monitoring of ecological and oceanographic processes in the northernmost part of the Adriatic Sea at border of Area Marina Protetta di Miramare.
MAMBO Buoy (Monitoraggio AMBientale Operativo == ENVironmental Operative Monitoring) - History of the time series. Mambo buoy was the first weather-marine coastal station installed in the northern Adriatic, able to detect the main meteorological and oceanographic parameters in near rela time.
Launched in September 1998, MAMBO has been operational since January 1999; it is anchored at a depth of about 17 m, at outer limit of the Marine Protected Area of Miramare, in the Gulf of Trieste, in the northernmost part of the Adriatic Sea (45° 41'95" N and 13° 42'99" E); it is part of the Adriatic Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, together with biological time-series C1.
The system was developed by OGS (at time Osservatorio Geofisico Sperimentale), at the request of WWF and of the Marine Protected Area of Miramamare, and took advantage of previous experiences of measurement and design in the Sicilian Channel and in the Gulf of Trieste.
Over the years, there have been several imodifications in the configuration of the acquisition system; they are summarized in the technical details.
It should be highlighted that, from 1999 to 2004, the sensors for the determination of the temperature, conductivity, pressure, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH, and chlorophyll have operated in profiliyng mode, by performing a vertical profile along the water column every three hours.
Since 2005, however, the sensors for the hydrological properties have acquired data at a constant depth, initially at 10 m, and later also at 2 and 15 m in depth.
The MAMBO-1 buoy of Miramare has also served as a testing laboratory for other buoys, variously configured, still working even for Civil Protection of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Coastal Modeling - Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System
The coastal zone is defined here as spanning from the offshore continental slope to the shoreline as determined by averaging over the incoming waves (Fig. 1). Its physical circulation phenomena include seasonal and interannual cycles, wind-driven currents, tides, mesoscale eddies (more offshore), submesoscale density fronts and filaments, topographic wakes, internal and inertial waves, surface waves and wave-driven littoral currents, and turbulent boundary layers near the surface and bottom. It is distinctive in many ways from the deeper sea, most conspicuously in its smaller, faster scales of evolution and the greater influence of the proximate bottom in shallow water. As such, it requires special modeling techniques.

CODAR Data visualization - Ocean Observation Laboratory at UMass Dartmouth's School for Marine Science and Technology
OCEANOL researchers have been monitoring coastal ocean surface currents for over a decade using a long range Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar (CODAR) station at the Cape Cod National Seashore near Nauset, MA. This high frequency (HF) radar system transmits a 5-MHz radio signal over the water and listens for this signal to return after being back-scattered by the ocean waves. Employing the principles of Bragg scattering and the Doppler shift, these data are used to calculate the speed and radial direction of the surface current. Data from our CODAR site on Cape Cod are combined with data from similar systems on Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and Block Island to produce hourly maps of surface ocean current vectors out to about 150 km offshore and with a spatial resolution of about 6 km.
Use the interactive map below to view these current data in either 1- or 25- hour averages. Our CODAR site is one of many deployed along the United States coastline. Zoom out and move around to view similar data for other parts of the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico!

Columbia River Estuary Operational Forecast System - NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services
Oceanographic nowcasts and forecast guidance are scientific predictions about the present and future states of a water body (generally including water levels, currents, water temperature and salinity). These predictions rely on either observed data or forecasts from large-scale numerical models. A nowcast incorporates recent (and often near real-time) observed meteorological, oceanographic, and/or river flow rate data and/or analyzed (e.g. gridded) meteorological and oceanographic products. A nowcast covers the period of time from the recent past (e.g., the past few days) to the present, and it can make predictions for locations where observational data are not available. Forecast guidance incorporates meteorological, oceanographic, and/or river flow rate forecasts and makes predictions about the future states of a water body. A forecast is usually initiated by the state of a nowcast.
The wind data used to run CREOFS are based on the National Weather Service (NWS) nested, high resolution (4 km) North American Mesoscale (NAM) weather prediction model winds (for the nowcast and forecast).
Additionally, CREOFS relies on CO-OPS' real-time water level, temperature and salinity observations, the global operational Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (Global RTOFS) at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), which is based on an eddy resolving 1/12° global HYCOM (HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) river data, and a regional tidal model of the northeast Pacific Ocean developed by Dr. Mike Foreman. NWS Extratropical Storm Surge (ETSS) forecasts and the Navy's global operational HYCOM forecasts are used as backup.
The CREOFS grid has 74,061 nodes and 142,684 elements and includes the upper and lower Columbia River and Estuary. Grid resolution ranges from 39 km on the open ocean boundary to approximately 100 m near the coast, indicating the flexibility of the grid size based on bathymetry from the deep ocean to the coast. Additionally, the higher resolution along the navigational channels within the river, from approximately 100 m to 10 m, provides detailed current features. The entire CREOFS grid and spatial extent is indicated at right.
CREOFS output is displayed in five separate subdomains extending from the Upper Columbia River down to the offshore region. The five subdomains are: Upper Columbia River, Middle Columbia River, Lower Columbia River, Columbia River Bar Entrance, and the mouth and offshore region of the Columbia River. Their spatial extent is show in the graphic.
The portion of the CREOFS grid that is available in the five subdomains.
CREOFS runs on NOAA's High Performance Computing System (HPCS) in a new Coastal Ocean Modeling Framework (COMF) developed by CO-OPS. As a result, CREOFS has direct access to NWS operational meteorological products that it needs to run reliably. Nowcast and forecast guidance cycles are run 4 times a day (every 6 hours).
CREOFS output is in NetCDF format. An archive of CREOFS NetCDF nowcast and forecast files can be accessed from THREDDS server.
All CO-OPS official real-time products, including nowcast and forecast guidance from CREOFS are monitored by the CO-OPS's Continuous Operational Real-Time Monitoring System (CORMS). CORMS provides 24 hour per day, 7 day per week monitoring and quality control of sensors and data in order to ensure the availability, accuracy, and quality of tide, water level, current, and other marine environmental information. CORMS is intended to identify invalid and erroneous data and information before application of the data by real-time and near real-time users.
Columbia River Datum (CDR): Established as a non-tidal, defined gradient datum that was developed from an observational study by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District in 1912 (R.E. Hickson, 1912). The USACE installed water level gauges and established low water levels at numerous points along the Columbia River that are the foundation of the present day Columbia River Datum (CRD). CRD is an adopted low water reference plane that runs from Harrington Point at River Mile 23 to Bonneville Dam at River Mile 145. It also extends up the Willamette River at the confluence with the Columbia River to Willamette Falls in Oregon City at Willamette River Mile 27. The CRD reference zero was set at gauge locations such that the datum was below the average low water, but not as low as the lowest record for a long period which resulted from a combination of circumstances that seldom occur. Historically CRD was defined relative to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) at distinct river miles with linear interpolation applied between defined locations. CRD is now defined at distinct river miles relative to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88).
For tidal datums purposes on the upper Columbia River, tidal datums (e.g. MLLW, MHW) are computed using observations the low river stages of the year, generally August through October. This time period constraint is due to the masking of the tidal signal from strong seasonal river runoff during other portions of the year (Stolz et al, 2005).

Cook Inlet Operational Forecast System - NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services
Oceanographic nowcasts and forecast guidance are scientific predictions about the present and future states of a water body (generally including water levels, currents, water temperature and salinity). These predictions rely on either near real-time observations or forecasts from large-scale numerical models. A nowcast incorporates recent (and often near real-time) observed meteorological, oceanographic, and/or river flow rate data and/or analyzed (e.g. gridded) meteorological and oceanographic products. A nowcast covers the period of time from the recent past (e.g., the past few days) to the present, and it can make predictions for locations where observational data are not available. Forecast guidance incorporates meteorological, oceanographic, and/or river flow rate forecasts and makes predictions about the future states of a water body. A forecast is usually initiated by the state of a nowcast.
CIOFS surface meteorological forcing conditions are based on the National Weather Service (NWS) North American Mesoscale (NAM) weather prediction model (for both nowcast and forecast). The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)'s operational meteorological forecast products of Global Forecast System (GFS) are used as a backup when NAM products are not available.
CIOFS uses NCEP's Global Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (G-RTOFS) to produce lateral ocean open boundary conditions of water temperature, salinity and sub-tidal water levels, and Navy's operational global Hybird Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) is used as a backup of RTOFS when RTOFS is not available. ADCIRC 2001 Tidal Database is used to generate CIOFS tidal open boundary forcing. Additionally, USGS real-time river discharge observations from 12 major river gauges are used to drive themodel.
The CIOFS uses orthogonal grid (lower right figure) with horizontal dimension of 1044 x 724. Its horizontal resolution ranges from 10 m within the estuaries and navigational channels to 3.5 km near offshore waters. The vertical grid follows the terrain and consists of 30 sigma levels. The bathymetry of the Cook Inlet is indicated on your left. Model bathymetry is populated from the best available data which include NOS sounding data, NGDC and NGS shoreline data, USGS topography gridded product. Digital Elevation Map (DEM) was used for wetting/drying process.
CIOFS runs on NOAA's High Performance Computing Systems (HPCS), the Weather Climate Operational Supercomputer System (WCOSS) under the NOS shared standard Coastal Ocean Modeling Framework (COMF) developed by CO-OPS. As a result, CIOFS has direct access to NWS operational meteorological products and real-time observations that are required to run CIOFS reliably. CIOFS runs four times (00z, 06z, 12z, and 18z UTC) per day with 6-hour nowcasts and 48-hour forecasts for each cycle.
CIOFS output is in NetCDF format. An archive of CIOFS NetCDF nowcast and forecast files can be accessed from CO-OPS THREDDS server.
All CO-OPS official real-time products, including nowcast and forecast guidance from CIOFS are monitored by the CO-OPS's Continuous Operational Real-Time Monitoring System (CORMS). CORMS provides 24 hour per day, 7 days per week monitoring and quality control of sensors and data in order to ensure the availability, accuracy, and quality of tide, water level, current, and other marine environmental information. CORMS is intended to identify invalid and erroneous data and information before application of the data by real-time and near real-time users.

Cook Inlet Response Tool - Alaska Ocean Observing System
The Cook Inlet Response Tool (CIRT) is a data integration & visualization product designed to assist responders in the event of an oil spill or other event. This interactive web-based tool combines:
- GIS spatial data layers,
- Real time observations,
- Model nowcast/forecasts for winds, waves, and ocean circulation,
- ShoreZone video and imagery.
The tool was developed in collaboration with the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens' Advisory Council (CIRCAC), the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Cook Inlet was selected for the demonstration project because many of the needed datasets are mature, and the area is tractable. The application is scalable so that other areas in Alaska and the nation will benefit.

Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service - In Situ Thematic Assembly Centre
The Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS), led by Mercator-Ocean is based on a distributed model of service production, relying on the expertise of a wide network of participating European organisations involved in operational oceanography.
The Service encompasses two kinds of production centres:
• 1. Monitoring and Forecasting Centres (MFCs), charged with maintaining numerical models of the ocean. There are seven MFCs: six for regional seas and one for the global ocean
• 2. Thematic Assembly Centres (TAC), which are tasked with the collection of ocean observations, both in situ (water column) and satellite observations.
The In Situ TAC is the component of the Copernicus Marine Service which ensures consistent and reliable access to a range of in situ data for the purpose of service production and validation.
In Situ TAC has two main objectives:
• 1. To collect multi-source, multi-platform, heterogeneous data, perform consistent quality control and distribute it in a common format (NetCDF) and in near-real-time (within 24 hours) to the CMEMS Marine Forecasting Centres (MFC), for assimilation into their numerical ocean models.
• 2. To supply the MFCs and downstream users with re-processed 25-50-year products in delayed mode. In addition to the near-real-time products, these delayed-mode products are useful for model validation or assimilation in ocean reanalysis and climate studies

Ocean Monitoring Indicators (OMIs) are free downloadable trends and data sets covering the past quarter of a century. These are key variables used to track the vital health signs of the ocean and changes in line with climate change. Knowing how much heat is stored in the ocean, the pH of the ocean, how fast the sea levels are rising and sea ice is melting, is essential to understanding the current state and changes in the ocean and climate. This information is critical for assessing and confronting oceanic and atmospheric changes associated with global warming and they can be used by scientists, decision-makers, environmental agencies, the general public, and in measuring our responses to environmental directives. The OMIs expand the Copernicus Marine Service portfolio to provide not only ocean data products but also key reference information on the state of the ocean.

The Core Instrument Analytical Results data repository contains processed analytical data and metadata for a subset of Cabled Array instruments that collect fluid or particulate samples that are brought back to shore and analyzed in a laboratory. These instruments are described briefly below, along with links to their respective data files. Numerical and other processed analytical results are generally provided in spreadsheet form. Associated metadata files including analytical protocols, sampling and recovery notes, and sample log files are presented in .pdf format. As-deployed images of instruments are provided in .jpg format, with image metadata summarized in spreadsheet-based catalogs.
Osmosis-based Water Sampler (OSMOI) Data – This instrument class provides a long-term sampling of diffuse and/or pore fluids at the seabed by drawing those fluids into small-bore, capillary tubing. The instrument currently deployed at Southern Hydrate Ridge samples pore fluids associated with methane seeps, while the instrument at the ASHES vent field on Axial Seamount is collocated with the 3-D Temperature Array (TMPSF) and samples diffuse fluids associated with the hydrothermal flow. After instrument recovery, laboratory analyses provide major/trace element chemistry of these fluid samples.
Hydrothermal Vent Fluid Interactive Sampler (RASFL) Data – This instrument collects fluid samples from hydrothermal vents at the International District Vent Field on Axial Seamount. It is collocated with the Particulate DNA Sampler (PPSDN; see below) and has an onboard temperature sensor (D1000) which continuously measures vent fluid temperatures. The sampler is able to be interactive, as its connection to the fiber optic cable allows two-way communication and power. Sample bottles can be triggered from shore in response to volcanic or tectonic events or set to trigger at specified intervals. After instrument recovery, laboratory analyses provide a chemical characterization of the hydrothermal fluid samples.
Particulate DNA Sampler (PPSDN) Data – This instrument filters and preserves the particulate matter associated with venting hydrothermal fluids at the International District Vent Field on Axial Seamount. The instrument is collocated with the Hydrothermal Vent Fluid Interactive Sampler (RASFL; see above) and can be similarly controlled remotely in response to volcanic or tectonic events. Upon recovery, genetic analysis of the particulates provides information on the microbial communities associated with hydrothermal vents.
Benthic Fluid Flow (FLOBN-C) Data – This instrument measures fluid flow at the sediment-water interface by monitoring the dilution of a chemical tracer injected into fluids at the seabed and collected in small-bore, capillary tubing by osmotic pumps. The “C” series of this instrument is a Chemical and Aqueous Transport (CAT) meter, and is deployed on or near methane seeps at the Southern Hydrate Ridge seabed. The recovered fluids are analyzed for chemical tracer and major ion concentrations, and flow rates are calculated.
Benthic Fluid Flow (FLOBN-M) Data – This instrument measures fluid flow at the sediment-water interface by monitoring the dilution of a chemical tracer injected into pore fluids below the seabed and collected in small-bore, capillary tubing by osmotic pumps. The “M” series of this instrument is a Multiple Orifice Sampler and Quantitative Injection Tracer Observer (MOSQUITO), and is deployed on or near methane seeps at the Southern Hydrate Ridge seabed. The recovered fluids are analyzed for chemical tracer and major ion concentrations, and flow rates are calculated.

Coriolis data centre
CORIOLIS contributes to the French operational oceanography program for the in-situ observations. The 7 institutes involved in operational oceanography in France (CNES, CNRS, Ifremer, IPEV, IRD, Météo-France, Shom) decided in 2001 to joint their efforts within Coriolis in order to :
• organize and maintain data acquisition in a real-time and delayed mode of in-situ measurements necessary for operational oceanography.
• set up an operational in-situ data centre,
• develop and improve the technology necessary for operational oceanography.
Its objective is to develop continuous, automatic, and permanent observation networks. The data collected will enable water properties to be mapped, such as temperature, and ocean circulation.
The importance of Coriolis is visible through the applications that are developed based on these data :
1. Coriolis, Myocean and the COPERNICUS Marine Core service: COPERNICUS is a major European initiative to monitor the state of earth's environment, support policy decisions, and provide a wide range of services to users. MyOcean is the first project of the ocean component of COPERNICUS, the so-called COPERNICUS Marine Core Service. Coriolis coordinates the MyOcean in-situ Thematic Assembly Center and provides in-situ data needed to constrain and validate the MyOcean global and regional Modelling and Forecasting Centers
2. Ocean variability inferred from in-situ data: The global ocean plays a major role in the Earth’s climate. One way of observing and understanding the Earth’s energy balance is to evaluate the average temperature change from the surface down to the deep ocean – the so called ocean heat content. Monthly gridded global temperature fields based on in-situ measurements have been used to estimate global mean heat content variations. A clear trend of the heat content during the past years has been highlighted using in-situ data.
3. new autonomous platforms to observe marine ecosystems: Marine ecosystems are a key component of the Earth system. Their evolution can now be monitored and analyzed thanks to biogeochemical sensors. Specifically designed for autonomous platforms, these sensors are able to measure biogeochemical parameters such as chlorophyll concentration and its vertical distribution. They have been demonstrated on Gliders and new Argo floats called PROVBIO.

Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis (CORA) (ODIS id: 801)
The CORA dataset (Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis) aims to diffuse all types of in-situ temperature and salinity measurements with a maximal sampling, including high frequency profilers (ARGO, CTD, etc...) surface and sub-surface timeseries (Thermosalinographs and surface drifters, etc...). The current version of the CORA dataset (CORA5.0) stands out from the previous version by the intake of millions profiles from the historical period (1950-1990) and the intake of year 2015 profiles from Coriolis. A very careful validation process is performed on the CORA measurements since the probably erroneous profiles are individually checked by an oceanographer which changes the data quality flags if necessary. This work flow reduces the amount of unnecessary flags leading to a better estimation of the ocean variability. Last, a correction is applied on the XBT measurement depth following the method bu Hamon et al. 2012. The CORA dataset is distributed by the Copernicus Marine and Environement Service online catalogue: Product User Manual and Documentation are also distributed by Copernicus.

Currents Forecast - Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System
PacIOOS’ Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) provides a 7-day, 3-hourly forecast for the region surrounding the main Hawaiian Islands at approximately 4-km (2.5-mile) resolution. The forecast is run daily and gets updated on this website around 1:30 PM Hawaiʻi Standard Time (UTC-10) every afternoon. ROMS (http://myroms.org) is an open source, community-supported model widely adopted by the scientific community for a diverse range of applications. Model runs are configured and produced for the Hawaiʻi region by Dr. Brian Powell and lab within the Department of Oceanography in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Boundary conditions are provided by the global, 1/12-degree (~9-km) HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). Atmospheric forcing is generated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for the region surrounding the main Hawaiian Islands (wrf_hi) at approximately 6-km resolution. Tide forcing uses the Oregon State University (OSU) Tidal Prediction Software (OTPS) TOPEX/Poseidon global inverse solution (TPXO) to derive barotropic tidal elevation and velocity. Furthermore, data are assimilated over the previous 3 days using all available observations to improve the model estimate of the current ocean state before forecasts are run. Assimilated observations may include satellite-based sea surface temperatures from MODIS, AVHRR, or OSTIA; satellite-based sea surface height from AVISO; surface currents from PacIOOS high-frequency radios (HFR); and in-situ water temperature and salinity profiles from ARGO floats and ocean glider autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV).

The GHRSST is an open international science group that promotes the application of satellites for monitoring sea surface temperature (SST) by enabling SST data producers, users and scientists to collaborate within an agreed framework of best practice. GHRSST provides a framework for SST data sharing, best practices for data processing and a forum for scientific dialog, bringing SST to the user.
GHRSST is led by elected international experts: the GHRSST Science Team. The GHRSST Science Team co-ordinates the data production and related research. Continuous efforts to refine the GHRSST data management structures ensure a functional system that conforms to international directives and results in easy access and guidance for users.
Major stakeholders are represented in the GHRSST Advisory Council which advises the GHRSST Science Team on its strategy.
The GHRSST Project Office supports the smooth day-to-day working of the group.

Data access - Surface Ocean CO₂ Atlas (ODIS id: 476)
Participants at the “Surface Ocean CO₂ Variability and Vulnerability” (SOCOVV) workshop at UNESCO, Paris in April 2007, co-sponsored by IOCCP, SOLAS, IMBER, and the Global Carbon Project, agreed to establish a global surface fCO₂ data set that would bring together, in a common format, all publicly available fCO₂ data for the surface oceans.
This Surface Ocean CO₂ Atlas (SOCAT) data set serves a wide range of user communities. Two distinct data products are available:
a 2nd level quality controlled global surface ocean fCO₂ data set,
and a gridded SOCAT product of monthly surface water fCO₂ means on a 1° x 1° grid with no temporal or spatial interpolation.
(The fugacity of carbon dioxide, or fCO₂, is the partial pressure of CO₂ (pCO₂) corrected for non-ideal behaviour of the gas.)
SOCAT version 6, made public in 2018, includes data from more than 10 countries. It has 23.4 million quality controlled surface ocean fCO2 measurements from 1957 to 2017. The SOCAT data set uses IOCCP recommended formats for metadata and data reporting. SOCAT quality control is carried out by regional working groups with a global group for coordination.
