National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) support of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS)

摘要

The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) began implementing Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) principles in 2001, when they partnered with the Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System (GoMOOS). NDBC and GoMOOS collaborated on a project to transmit meteorological and oceanographic data from the GoMOOS buoys to NDBC in real-time. NDBC's data quality control, data format, and communications services to were then used to transmit the data to the NWS Telecommunications Gateway (NWSTG), which disseminated the data to the Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) in the region.
