Meteorological Data (including visibility)

The National Ocean Service (NOS) maintains a long-term database containing data from active and historic stations installed all over the United States and U.S. territories.  Since the 1990s, NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) has been collecting various meteorological data along the U.S. coastline, around the Great Lakes and connecting channels, as well as in various U.S. territories.  Stations are configured for a variety of observation periods, depending upon the location.  Some of these sensors are located with water level stations, while others are independent, dedicated meteorological stations.  These data are used to support a variety of purposes including but not limited to safe and efficient marine navigation and coastal hazards monitoring.  The standard reporting time for collecting data are in 6-minute intervals.
