Ocean Data

Contents:
This page focuses mostly on ocean conditions, such as marine weather, SSTs, tidal data, buoy data, ship reports and waves. Additional satellite-derived data is available on our Wind Data page (upper level and surface winds) and our Satellite Data page (visible and infrared satellite imagery).

Marine Forecasts & Analyses from the National Hurricane Center (NHC)

Sea Surface Temperature (SST)

Some of the sites below have data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and/or the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) sensors.

For more information about AVHRR, you can visit the NOAA site here or the Wikipedia article here. For the operational status of the AVHRR sensor that is available on multiple satellites, click here for NOAA's Polar Operational Environmental Satellites (POES) spacecraft status page and here for the Meteorological Operational satellites (Metop) page from the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS). (EUMETSAT: European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites)

For more information about VIIRS, you can visit the NOAA site here or the Wikipedia article here. For the operational status of the VIIRS sensor that is available on multiple satellites, click here for the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) spacecraft status page.

For more information about ABI, you can visit the site here for information about the ABI in general, the page here on that site about the SST product or the Wikipedia article here for general information as well on the ABI. For the operational status of the ABI sensor that is available on GOES-R Series satellites, click here for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) spacecraft status page.
