    THREDDS

    THREDDS (Thematic Realtime Environmental Distributed Data Services) software, built by Unidata, is software used to deliver data, not graphs or maps, to researchers and educators. Not only can MARACOOS scientists perform research on the data, but scientists in kindergarten, grammar school, high school, colleges and homes around the country and world can too. Some data are archived for over a decade and available here. MARACOOS offers several types of data from the Mid-Atlantic Bight region to researchers including the following:

    Data Access

    • MARACOOS THREDDS Catalog
    • Satellite Sea Surface Temperature
    • HF Radar Ocean Surface Currents
    • Underwater Glider Data
    • MODIS-aqua ocean color and temperature products derived from the automated processing system (APS)

    Forecasts

    • NCEP meteorological forecast sea surface conditions (winds, temps, pressure, radiation)
    • Rutgers ROMS ocean forecast
    • Stevens Tech NYHOPS ocean forecast
    • UMass HOPS ocean forecast
