Description

As a tool to support NOAA's new partnership with the renowned science museum, the Exploratorium, and in collaboration with the Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System and other regional data providers, NOAA has developed a Web page to make it easy to visualize near-real time data in San Francisco Bay. The interface uses Google Maps and the latest AJAX technology to combine and compare data from diverse sources. Users are able to visualize water temperature, salinity, and other station-based measurements along with overlays of satellite measurements of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and radar measurements of currents. Users are also able to compare time series of measurements from various stations and sources.
