IOOS modeling connects observations, research, operational forecasts, and community collaboration. Explore the testbed, Community of Practice, and models and products inventory.
HF radar measures ocean surface currents in near real time to support search and rescue, spill response, and coastal operations.
Building a long-term, sustained system for observing and sharing marine life data to support ocean conservation, research, and management.
Accelerating innovation and sustainable growth in the blue economy through ocean and coastal data.
Underwater gliders collect subsurface ocean data to support hurricane forecasting, fisheries, ecosystem monitoring, and water quality research.
DMAC meetings, technical webinars, and archived resources for sharing and managing ocean-observing data.
The Ocean Technology Transition program helps move emerging ocean observing sensors and platforms into operational use.
QARTOD develops guidance and quality control procedures for real-time oceanographic data used by the IOOS community.
The ocean chemistry of the seawater is rapidly changing, affecting animal growth, survival and behavior, and depleting the ocean of calcium carbonate, a nutrient vital for shellfish to build shells.
