The GOES SST, AVHRR SST, and Surface Winds products have been moved to http://coastwatch.noaa.gov. They will no longer be available at this site as of August 31, 2004.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions or problems, please contact Shawna Karlson at Shawna.Karlson@noaa.gov.

NOAA CoastWatch has recently expanded its product line of satellite remote sensing ocean products to include ocean surface wind and color products. Data provided by the Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution (OSDPD) are processed and made available in near real-time through NOAA CoastWatch. Try the new integrated search interface which includes access to MODIS products at http://coastwatch.noaa.gov/interface/interface.html

Turbidity and Chlorophyll-a products are generated using NOAA developed algorithms from ocean color sensors. At present, products produced using SeaWiFS data are restricted due to limitations associated with these commercial data (Data Use Policy). NOAA is also utilizing MODIS data. Example MODIS products generated from data obtained from NASA GSFC are available for public browsing and download.

NOAA CoastWatch Program

The NOAA CoastWatch Program is managed by NOAA NESDIS' Office of Research Applications (ORAD) and operates in conjunction with other NOAA NESDIS offices in Suitland and Camp Springs, Maryland. CoastWatch uses eight regional nodes (sites) located within the Continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii to develop and distribute satellite data products
