MARACOOS OceansMap

MARACOOS OceansMap is a dynamic data visualization tool integrating near real-time observational assets and model forecasts that contribute to ocean monitoring in the Mid-Atlantic region. OceansMap is a web-based met-ocean data and emergency response simulation system. It consists of a GIS-based graphical user interface, a spatial database and web services from OceansMap Server. The web-interface allows users and groups to manage, visualize and analyze a variety of met-ocean data including operational model and in-situ observation data. It can also be used to set up different oil or chemical spill scenarios, run a trajectory and weathering model and visualize the results of the model. The trajectory models can seamlessly access the latest global and regional wind and current data hosted in OceansMap Server or from RPS’ EDS. The system also includes interactive GIS features and tools to manage spill response planning activities and assets.

Chesapeake Bay Portal

The Chesapeake Bay portal is a version of MARACOOS OceansMap specifically designed for the Chesapeake Bay. In addition to local observations the Chesapeake Bay portal includes data from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources as well as the ChesROMS Hypoxia Model. Developed by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and partners this model predicts when and where low-oxygen or “hypoxic” conditions may form.
