Up-to-date information on weather and
oceanographic conditions in the Pacific Northwest

Hourly Buoy Data
Buoys and Stations Collecting Weather and Ocean Data NOAA Buoy Data
Hourly information developed for marine operations includes wind, wave, visibility, air temperature, water temperatures at various depths, salinity and more. Real-time and historical data from NOAA.

Projects

Ongoing or planned projects with direct relevance to the Ocean Observing System. These projects presently have an educational or research approach, but they are likely to be key contributions to the Northwest observing system.

PDO

Climate
Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO/ENSO)

Climate variations in the northwest over timescales from years to decades are dominated by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, an ENSO related phenomena. Here is the latest outlook on the evolution of the PDO state from ???
