Find authoritative sources for marine observations, bathymetry, biodiversity and ocean profiles.
OceanGrid brings marine and environmental data into a product-specific research context. Its public resources distinguish measured observations, modeled surfaces, forecasts and navigational products. The original agencies remain the authorities for releases, quality flags and terms. A source's presence in this collection does not mean all of its records are available through OceanGrid.
Begin with the measurement that matches the question. Buoys provide local conditions; tide stations provide water levels and tidal predictions; coastal radar estimates surface currents across an area. Profiling floats add depth-dependent measurements offshore. These records use different clocks, depths, reference frames and quality controls. The linked collections explain which distinctions to retain before combining data, and connect environmental context to LOCT and the Trash Island research mission.
These references support research and data discovery. They are not navigation instructions, a marine forecast, a permit assessment or assurance of conditions at an installation.
