Link to metadata. NOAA’s radar website: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/radar-data The data can be viewed through NOAA's Integrated Map Application. The Next Generation RADar (NEXRAD) Level III is digital data set DSI-7000 archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The NEXRAD system comprises over 150 Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) sites throughout the United States and selected overseas locations. This system is a joint effort of the United States Departments of Commerce (DOC), Defense (DOD), and Transportation (DOT). The controlling agencies within those departments are, respectively, the National Weather Service (NWS), Air Weather Service (AWS) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)....

The website and data server at http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/ is a USGS approved database. It provides descriptions of the research programs and access to time series oceanographic data collected by USGS investigators at the Woods Hole Science Center, often in collaboration with others, as part of experiments to study circulation and sediment transport in the coastal ocean. The experiments were carried out between 1975 and present. Measurements include ocean current velocity, wave statistics, temperature, pressure, conductivity, light transmission (beam atttenuation) among others. In some experiments, local meteorolical data was also collected. Data is provided at the fastest instrument sampling interval and...

The Seafloor Mapping Project uses the multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data in a number of different research projects as well as to help other Federal, State, and local agencies. All of the multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data collected by the Pacific Seafloor Mapping Project are available for free as online USGS Open-File Reports, Digital Data Series, or Clearinghouses. Website navigational links include: Introduction, Images, Products, Data, Applications, Publications, Contacts, and Cooperators Accurate base maps are a prerequisite for any geological study, regardless of the objectives. Land-based studies commonly utilize aerial photographs, USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle maps, and satellite...

In March 1983, President Reagan signed a proclamation establishing an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) extending the 200 nautical mile from the coasts of the United States, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. territories and possessions. In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began a program to map these areas of the EEZ To accomplish the mapping of the deepwater portion (depths greater than 400 m) of this area, the USGS selected the long-range sidescan sonar system GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic). At that time the GLORIA system was owned and operated by British colleagues at the United Kingdom's Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (IOS), now the Southampton Oceanography Centre,...
