US Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS)
Data Access
Data Availability: Data are available online at the US Integrated Ocean Observing System (US IOOS) web site and provides a fully integrated ocean observing system that enables NOAA and its partners to provide service to the nation through improved ecosystem and climate understanding, sustained living marine resources, improved public health and safety, reduced impacts of natural hazards and environmental changes, and enhanced support for marine commerce and transportation.

US IOOS Data Access
The following services are the first to be established by the NOAA IOOS program and its partners to provide access to data. These services are now undergoing beta-test and should still be considered experimental. The services will be modified and enhanced during the course of the DIF project.
- NDBC Sensor Observation Service (SOS) This server provides in-situ temperature, salinity, currents, water level, waves and winds data from National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) moorings, IOOS Regional Coastal Ocean Observing Systems, Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) buoys, and Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoys. The server is operated by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) NDBC. SOS is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard.
- CO-OPS SOS This server provides in-situ temperature, conductivity, currents, water level, and waves data from the National Water Level Observing Network (NWLON) and the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS). The server is operated by the NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS).
- NDBC THREDDS Data Server (TDS) This server provides gridded surface currents derived from high-frequency radar (HFR) installations along the coasts. The server supports Web Coverage Service (WCS) and Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OpenDAP) and is operated by NDBC. WSC is an OGC standard.
- SECOORA SOS This server provides a variety of in-situ parameters from a collection of data providers. Server is operated by SECOORA (Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association). Software documentation on creating this service from the supporting database is at http://code.google.com/p/xenia/wiki/XeniaSOS
- CoastWatch TDS (coming soon!) This server will provide access to chlorophyll concentrations derived from satellite ocean color observations. (Expected November 2008). This server is operated by NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) CoastWatch program.
