CO-OPS public GIS services allowing data to be used for desktop mapping and other GIS applications.
CO-OPS Stations Map Service (WMS, WFS, Feature Service)
CO-OPS Stations Map Service is the spatial data from present and historical oceanographic and meteorological data collected by NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services. Layers served are active water level stations, historic water level stations, active currents stations, historic currents stations, all meteorological stations, conductivity stations, and water temperature stations collected by CO-OPS at various locations around the USA and it's territories.MapService: https://mapservices.weather.noaa.gov/static/rest/services/NOS_Observations/CO_OPS_Stations/MapServer
FeatureService: https://mapservices.weather.noaa.gov/static/rest/services/NOS_Observations/CO_OPS_Stations/FeatureServer
CO-OPS Products Map Service (WMS, WFS, Feature Service)
CO-OPS Products map service is the spatial data for products that are derived from present and historical oceanographic and meteorological data collected by the NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services. Layers served are datums, published benchmarks, benchmarks, sea level trends, water level constituents, extreme water levels, currents predictions, and water level predictions processed at CO-OPS at various stations around the USA and it's territories.MapService: https://mapservices.weather.noaa.gov/static/rest/services/NOS_Observations/CO_OPS_Products/MapServer

CO-OPS Operational Forecast System (OFS) Map Service
The National Ocean Service's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) Operational Forecast System (OFS) Models map service depicts the coverage of present OFS models around the US and its territories. NOAA provides forecast guidance of oceanographic information to help mariners safely navigate their local waters. This national network of hydrodynamic models provides users with operational nowcast and forecast guidance (out to 48 hours) on parameters such as water levels, water temperature, salinity, and currents. These forecast systems are implemented in critical ports, harbors, estuaries, Great Lakes and coastal waters of the United States, and form a national backbone of real-time data, tidal predictions, data management and operational modeling.

- NWLON_gaps.zip: Shapefile of NWLON gaps (updated June 2023)
- NWLON and PORTS Maps:
These maps by the National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS)
display National Water Level Network (NWLON) stations and Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) stations.
- NWLON Stations Map: ArcGIS Online web map of NWLON stations
- PORTS Stations Map: ArcGIS Online web map of PORTS stations
- CO-OPS Discrete Tidal Zoning Map:
This web map displays discrete tidal zoning generated by the National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS). Zoned tides, relative to a tidal datum, can be constructed by applying time and range correctors to observed water level data from a NOAA tide station.
