What is CarICOOS

CarICOOS is the observing arm of the Caribbean Regional Association for Integrated Coastal Ocean Observing (CaRA) http://cara.uprm.edu/. This effort, funded by the NOAA IOOS office http://ioos.noaa.gov/, is one of eleven coastal observing systems and regional associations which along with federal agencies constitute the national coastal component of the US Integrated Ocean Observing System. For more information on the regional associations, please visit http://usnfra.org/.

This web page brings together coastal ocean data and forecasts from a variety of sources including satellites, ocean instruments and numerical models to give the user an integrated view of past, present and forecasted ocean conditions in the US Caribbean region. Data are provided online by a number of organizations including NOAA, NASA, ONR Universities and others to whom credit is given.

Data and graphics, other than NOAA National Weather Service products, are presented as experimental products. CaRA assumes no responsibility for the validity of the data for planning or executing marine activities. For official information and forecasts on marine weather you should consult with the National Weather Service at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ and its San Juan office at http://www.srh.noaa.gov/sju/
