Description:

  • summary: Best time series, taking the data from the most recent run available.
  • rights: Freely available for research and operational use
  • summary: This is an aggregated dataset of the NOAA NCEI AMSEAS (AMerican SEAs) model for the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and Western Atlantic Ocean. The AMSEAS model provides high-resolution oceanographic forecasts including water temperature, salinity, and ocean currents (u and v velocity components) at multiple depth levels. This aggregation provides the best available timeseries data for operational oceanographic applications, research, and decision support in the Caribbean and surrounding waters. The model uses a sophisticated hydrodynamic framework to deliver accurate ocean state predictions essential for maritime operations, environmental monitoring, and scientific research in the region.
  • funding: This dataset is provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) as part of the U.S. operational oceanographic modeling infrastructure supporting maritime safety, environmental monitoring, and scientific research.
  • summary: AMSEAS Model Best Available Timeseries Dataset with optimized aggregation for maximum performance and data accessibility. Includes automatic quality control, best forecast selection, and seamless temporal aggregation.
