NANOOS PILOT PROJECT
 A NANOOS prototyping project. NANOOS PILOT
A project to develop strategies and build assets for the integrated observation of the estuaries and shorelines of the Northwest. The project is developing nowcast and predictive capabilities for this environment, as well as interactive access to archival data, real-time data, and selected forecasts.

Buoy & Station Data

NOAA Buoy Data
NOAA Buoy Data Hourly data developed for marine operations: wind, wave, visibility, air temperature, water temperatures at various depths, salinity and more.

Water Quality Data
Shellfish Data Real-time Water Quality Data for Shellfish Growers. A pilot project between NANOOS and the National Estuarine Research Reserve System.

Weather forecasts
Regional forecasts Weather Services:
Coastal Marine Forecasts
National Data Buoy Center

Projects

Ongoing or planned projects with direct relevance to the Ocean Observing System. These projects presently have an educational or research approach, but they are likely to be key contributions to the Northwest observing system.

Biotoxin Bulletin

Marine Biotoxin Bulletin

Maps of beaches in the Puget Sound Region that are closed to harvesting of shellfish because of biotoxin levels. The Washington State Biotoxin Program monitors biotoxins in molluscan shellfish, closing harvest areas when high levels pose a threat to public health.

Wave forecasts

Wave Forecasts

Current wave height analysis for the U.S. West Coast.

In development

PDO

Climate
Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO/ENSO)

Climate variations in the northwest over timescales from years to decades are dominated by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, an ENSO related phenomena. Here is the latest outlook on the evolution of the PDO state.
