What this feed covers

Live observations from NOAA's network of moored ocean buoys and coastal stations. Each reporting buoy publishes its latest sea surface temperature along with wind, wave height, and air temperature at a fixed, named position. The feed shows current ocean conditions at point locations worldwide, complementing the gridded sea surface temperature map with real in-water measurements.
