EDAC OPeNDAP Server

Warning! Due to technical difficulty, some of these data sets are not available at this time

NCOM may be dowloaded from this FTP site: ftp://ftp.mpc.ncep.noaa.gov/grids/operational/NCOM/. That site is a mission-critical site that stays up 24/7


All OpenDap sets of data on this server are served by using THREDDS. All of the data shown below plus some experimental data sets are available via the root catalog at this URL: http://edac-dap.northerngulfinstitute.org/thredds/catalog/ .

Selected datasets can be graphed and converted to other formats using ERDDAP at this URL: http://edac-dap2.northerngulfinstitute.org/erddap/ .


Intra-Americas Seas Data

Naval Research Laboratory's NCOM data for the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean is higher resolution data than the other NCOM sets available on this server. The data contains physical oceanographic data on currents, salinity, sea surface height, mixed layer depth, maximum density gradient and temperature.

MODIS Level 3 Data


Note that CoastWatch does not support all of the data contained in the original files. The CoastWatch versions will have only a subset of the original data.
This data set contains sea surface temperature and history derived from an analysis of MODIS Level 3 data.

MODIS Level 4 Blended Data

Data containing detailed analysis of ocean water based on inputs from MODIS Aqua, MODIS Terra, and AVHRR satellites. This data set contains numerous types of data about the ocean including both physical and biological data.

MODIS Level 4 Monthly Averages

This data is monthly averages of data derived from MODIS.

Modular Ocean Data Assimilation System (MODAS) Data

This data is a worldwide set derived from various satellite sources. It contains sea-surface temperatures and sea surface heights. It also contains estimated error data for both.

Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) global Data

This time-series data contains temperature, salinity, currents, and sea surface height. NCOM data is now being distributed globally. It is divided up into numbered regions, which when combined form a global coverage. We are serving the three areas that cover North America and Hawaii: areas 1, 6 and 7. We are also serving regions 5 and 10 in support of research partners.
