REAL-TIME DATA ACCESS
Through individual and joint programmatic websites the College of Marine Science serves various real time data sets to the general public. These data sets include variables remotely sensed by satellite, measured in-situ by moored and fixed instruments and by drifting profilings, and measured remotely from shore by HF-radar. Also served in near real time are analyzed and model simulated products.
The satellite-derived data are prepared by the Institute for Marine Remote Sensing (IMARS) under the direction of Professor Frank Muller-Karger. Products pertaining to the West Florida Continental Shelf, as part of the Coastal Ocean Monitoring and Prediction Program (COMPS), are prepared by the Ocean Circulation Group (OCG) under the direction of Professor Robert H. Weisberg and by the Ocean Modeling and Prediction Lab (OMPL) under the direction of Professor Mark Luther. For the COMPS program Professor Weisberg has primary responsibility for the measurements and models within the coastal ocean, and Professor Luther has primary responsibility for the measurements along the coastline and for the Tampa Bay PORTS measurements and models.
The links provided below are for IMARS, COMPS, PORTS, BSOP, and hf-Radar. All of these links are accessible from one another, and each provides data, analyzed data products, or model products that may be accessed from the maps or from the side bars as shown.
