Tampa Bay PORTS Program Highlighted in Southwinds

SECOORA member University of South Florida developed the Tampa Bay Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS).

PORTS consists of a network of 11 stations in and around Tampa Bay, including the Port of Tampa, Port Manatee, the Sunshine Skyway, and the C-Cut marker in the shipping channel. Each station collects real-time data on meteorological and/or water conditions, such as wind speed and direction, air and water temperature, current speed and direction, and water level. These data are collected every six minutes and are available in a variety of user-friendly formats, including telephone voice response and Internet.

In the media: pages 37-39 of the June 2008 issue of Southwinds Magazine
