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.
