Atlantic Zone Monitoring Programme (AZMP)
Integrated Science Data Management (ISDM)

Biological, chemical and physical information on the northwestern Atlantic Ocean gathered through the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program. AZMP provides an ever-expanding perspective on seasonal, annual and longer-term changes in ocean conditions including sea levels, climate and weather

Buoy Weather Data
Pacific Region

Sixteen offshore weather buoys maintained by Environment Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada in association with Axys, a private company in Sidney, B.C. measure general weather information in the marine area around British Columbia and report their data to Environment Canada via satellite.

Drifting Buoys
Integrated Science Data Management (ISDM)

Global sea surface meteorological and oceanographic observations reported in daily and historical time frames.

Marine Ecosystem Observatory
Pacific Region

Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Environment Canada jointly maintain a network of weather buoys in the coastal and offshore waters of British Columbia. Values of wind speed and direction, air pressure and temperature, and wave height at the buoy locations, reported hourly via the GEOS satellite, are routinely used to improve marine weather forecasting.

Waves
Integrated Science Data Management (ISDM)

Databases containing over 6 million observed wave spectra from 500 locations in the Canadian area of interest (35 to 90 degrees north and 40 to 180 degrees west).
