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.

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.

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. Please refer to the specific layer description for more information or visit https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/.
