CARICOOS operates a network of observing assets including data buoys, coastal meteorological stations, vessels, instruments and radars. Data from these assets and value-added data products such as graphs and maps are provided free of charge to the general public through the web page www.caricoos.org. This web page brings together coastal ocean data and forecasts from a variety of sources including satellites, ocean instruments and numerical models to give the user an integrated view of past, present conditions in the US Caribbean region. Data are provided online by a number of organizations including NOAA, NASA, ONR Universities and others to whom credit is given. Data and graphics, other than NOAA National Weather Service products, are presented as experimental products. CaRA assumes no responsibility for the validity of the data for planning or executing marine activities.
