The objective of this page is to demonstrate techniques for the delivery of value-added information to the real-time oceanographic observations collected by NOS/NOAA (InfoHub ). The real-time data are displayed in graphical form to show historical changes in these data for the past 24 hours, and to forecast the tidal process for the next 24 hours. The real-time data are assimilated in a marine nowcast numerical model whose results, along with recent field observations, are delivered to the maritime community. This interactive near real-time information is made available to improve navigation safety, provide hydro-meteorological information for spill prevention and cleanup, navigation schedule and planning, search and rescue missions, and for recreation.
The available near real-time data include:
