Abstract
Working with many partners, CeNCOOS collects, curates and disseminates data about our coastal and deep ocean waters. Gathering and sharing this information is crucial to everything from understanding toxic algae blooms, to creating weather forecasts and even search and rescue operations. We host data sensors on many different types of platforms, including ocean-based buoys, shore-side stations, and radar.
