Data source

IOOS Sensors ERDDAP

Data from the IOOS Sensors ERDDAP server (https://erddap.sensors.ioos.us/erddap/), which aggregates observations from the regional associations of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System and other data providers. Each dataset names its institution and licence in its own metadata; credit the institution named there. Served by Eden Engine; not an official IOOS product.
