METOCEAN DATA LINK

Real-time meteorological and oceanographic (metocean) data play a vital role in offshore operations. As metocean data collection across various offshore industries continues to grow, adopting standards and best practices is key to maximizing its value for a wide range of stakeholders and making data accessible and useful for all. This project is supported by the IOOS Ocean Technology Transition (OTT) program.

MetOcean Data Link Focus

• Launch a comprehensive engagement campaign with metocean data providers and consumers to gather input that informs system design and usability.
• Engage data providers and consumers to improve the cyberinfrastructure
• Expand and enhance existing metocean data cyberinfrastructure
• Test and improve cyberinfrastructure with multiple use cases
