HOPS Data Sources

Real-Time Data

In Situ

• NOAA Home Page Includes links to buoy data.

Remote

• Ocean Remote Sensing Group Home Page Johns Hopkins University. Most of our SST images come from here. The StormWatch domain is of particular interest for LOOPS/AFMIS.
• Global Near-Real-Time Altimeter Data Home Page Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research. University of Colorado, Boulder
