Description
The NOAA NDBC SOS server is part of the IOOS DIF SOS Project. The stations in this dataset have currents data.
Because of the nature of SOS requests, requests for data MUST include constraints for the longitude, latitude, time, and/or station_id variables.
WARNING: Always check the quality_flags before using this data. A simple criterion is: only use a row of data if the first quality_flags value for the row (overall bin status) is 3 (good data/passed quality test). You can do this by appending &quality_flags=~"3;.*" to your request.
