new SWAN forecast data is loading (as of 7/27) daily. It was in test mode on Friday 7/17. You can see the directory of the images; Latest Data is being updated now (the swan images in there are an older format -- with current data.) We're changing up the way the visuals look. See Peak Wave Period, Wave Direction and Wave Height.

ROMS Forecast imagery for currents, temperature, salinity and sea surface height. The forecast images are now displaying through our "Latest Data" image/data portal. Learn more by following links to left under the Latest Data heading. {great 'animations' by rolling over multiple links.}

PWS Data & Model Visualization via Google Earth & Cloud Computing

Google Earth & Cloud Computing of PWS data by ASAApplied Science Associates (ASA) used Google Earth to allow the public access to real-time data. ASA posts ROMS Data (Dr. Yi Chao), WRF Data (Dr. Peter Olsson), and HFRadar (Dr. Mark Johnson) plus ASA drifter simulations using these model data. ASA has integrated data from PWS experiment's ocean observing systems and models to create Google Earth KML files which are hosted using Amazon cloud computing. More on ASA's Applied Science Weblog.
