As in other US IOOS regions exposed to hurricanes and typhoons, CARICOOS, in collaboration with NOAA/AOML, has commenced the deployment of hurricane gliders in PR and USVI waters. Ocean salinity and temperature data collected by them provide for more accurate hurricane forecasts.

Real-time data saves lives. The U.S. Coast Guard and local search and rescue integrate surface current data to make location predictions up to 5× more accurate. Happy #OceanDataDay and THANK YOU to #firstresponders! #CGSAR #OceanData #SearchAndRescue #USCoastGuard #DataBelowTheSurface

How many IOOS-powered assets are monitoring our #coastalwaters? Assets like radar, buoys, gliders, sensors, and more are collecting real-time data to keep communities safe, economies strong, etc. Explore them all: ioosassociation.org/data-portals/ #OceanData #OceanObserving

Ocean Data- Enhanced Marine Safety: For fishermen, sailors, and ocean sports enthusiasts, real-time ocean data (e.g., wave heights, wind speed, water temperature) provides essential information for planning safe activities on the water.

Last week, USF College of Marine Science Ocean Circulation Lab went out on the R/V Weatherbird to swap the West Florida Shelf real time buoys and non real-time seafloor sensors. Both are vital for hurricane monitoring in the Gulf. #SensorSpotlight #OceanData #IOOS Image Credit: Sam D'Angelo, USF
