The National Weather Service in Tallahassee, Florida, offers a unique
interactive page to decoded marine weather observations as reported by
buoys and Coastal Marine Automated Network stations maintained by the
National Data Buoy Center. There are also links to wave maps and a tide
predictor program.
The Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) is part of the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS). Satellite images are provided frequently throughout the day.
Observing the world around us and planets near and far, SSEC's scientists and engineers seek to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes and phenomena.
User-friendly software for collecting, displaying, and archiving satellite imagery
has been developed at Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin's Space
Science and Engineering Center (SSEC). It's a breeze to land on either of these
sites, click on a few buttons, and find just the image you want. For a stunning
satellite image layered on a surface relief map or Java-powered radar loops,
visit the Unisys Weather that uses Purdue's WPX. For images from GOES (Geostationary
Orbiting Environmental Satellites) or a map of sea surface temperatures, jump
to SSEC.
