The
AOML
Environmental Data Server (ENVIDS) provides interactive,
on-line access to various oceanographic and atmospheric datasets
residing at AOML. The in-house datasets include Atlantic Expendable
Bathythermograph (XBT), Global
Lagrangian Drifting Buoy, Hurricane Flight Level, and Atlantic
Hurricane Tracks (North Atlantic Best Track and Synoptic). Other
available datasets include Pacific Conductivitiy/Temperature/Depth
Recorder (CTD) and World Ocean Atlas 1998.
This
project was made possible in part by the support of the Environmental
Services Data and Imformation Management (ESDIM).
SEAKEYS
and CREWS
marine environmental monitoring stations
provide near real-time in situ hourly measurements for many
meteorological
and oceanographic parameters including wind speed, wind direction,
wind
gusts, air temperature, barometric pressure, sea temperature,
salinity,
UV-B, photosynthetically active radiation, tide, fluorometry
and
transmissometry. These data are screened by a suite of expert
systems to
support data quality review, and to model and predict biological
events,
such as coral bleaching, near coral reef areas. The CREWS network
is
being expanded through 2007 to cover all major US coral reef
areas.
The Integrated Monitoring Network (IMN) database provides researchers and the public the ability to access meteorological and environmental datasets from various networks of stations located around the world. This release version of the database contains data from the Florida Institute of Oceanography's SEAKEYS project, and the NOAA/AOML's CREWS network of stations.
