IOOS Regional Models and Applications
IOOS data comes from a variety of technologies and data collection systems across United States waters, including buoys, high frequency radar systems and gliders. Understanding the current and future state of our Nation’s coasts, oceans, and Great Lakes from these disparate and complex data sets is a challenge.
The IOOS® Regional Associations use models and model applications to understand and communicate current marine conditions, and forecast and predict future marine conditions. IOOS® delivers and disseminates these models, model outputs, and model-based applications so that decision-makers can take action to improve safety, enhance the economy, and protect the environment.
The full catalog of IOOS® Regional models can be found here. Often, models developed by IOOS® partners are transitioned to NOAA to run; these are not included in the IOOS modeling catalog, but are included in NOAA’s Operational Forecast Systems and Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) forecasts. Additional models by IOOS partners can also be visualized in the IOOS® Model Viewer.
WHY USE MODELS?
IOOS uses models to understand current marine conditions, and forecast and predict future marine conditions.
Data Models organize and standardize data elements to understand how they relate to one another and to ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes properties.
Model Applications translate and visualize modeling outputs to make data easier to see and understand.
