Abstract

The nowCOAST 'obs' Web Map Service (WMS) provides layers containing near real-time surface meteorological and oceanographic observations from various sources. Some observations are updated as frequently as every six minutes, while others are updated hourly. The 'obs' WMS is one of several map services provided by NOAA's nowCOAST project (http://nowcoast.noaa.gov). For further layer information such as layer icons, legend graphics, layer descriptions, and valid timestamps, see the nowCOAST 'LayerInfo Web Service' description page at: http://nowcoast.noaa.gov/help/layerinfo.shtml. For more information about nowCOAST's available Web Map Services, see the nowCOAST Map Services information page at: http://nowcoast.noaa.gov/help/mapservices.shtml. nowCOAST is a product of the NOAA/NOS/OCS Coast Survey Development Laboratory.

Click one of the buttons in order to see statistics for the desired period, based on data from 38 layers provided by this service.

Statistics are generated each time you navigate the map for a single layer of this service or in a continous way through the "keep track now" function. In case this service shows no statistics you may click "keep track now".

"keep track now" monitors the service at a low level with only two requests per hour during a period of 30 days. This functionality is free. If you want more intense monitoring contact us at info@mapmatters.org.
