Data Services
There are multiple ways to access SECOORA data. The primary way is through the SECOORA Data Portal and its associated Data Catalog. The underlying data may also be access by ERDDAP or THREDDS. Model and gridded data are served by the THREDDS server and time-series data by the ERDDAP server. ERDDAP documentation is available - button right. These services are particularly useful for machine to machine data access.

Certification
Confirming SECOORA Meets the Gold Standard for Data
SECOORA is certified by NOAA as a Regional Information Coordination Entity. This confirms data coming from SECOORA adheres to common federal collection, storage and management standards. In other words, it can be integrated with other data, and help make “big data” research and development possible.
Certification Documents
The documents that support SECOORA’s IOOS recertification application are made available on this page.
