This visualization demonstrates the impressive reach of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) / Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML)’s “air, sea, and coasts” observational enterprise in 2024. These observations include data directly collected by AOML, data sets for which AOML is part of the quality control and/or data delivery process, and data collection coordinated by AOML with NOAA, academic, and private partners. The visualization also includes repeat fieldwork that AOML participates in on an inter-annual basis.
