About us
Welcome! NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) is the nation’s premier federal science agency for our ocean and coasts. NOS is one of six major divisions within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is housed within the U.S. Department of Commerce. NOS is the nation’s most comprehensive coastal agency with world-class expertise in science, technology, and management. Offices and staff are located throughout the country. NOS conducts applied research and employs advanced surveying, observing, modeling, and computing technologies to provide services and tools that inform federal, state, and local decision making. The agency leads national partnerships to address and balance economic and environmental needs and conducts extensive outreach to ensure its services are meeting priorities. NOS is also a trustee for the long-term conservation of coastal resources, including response and restoration for oil and chemical spills. *Interested in working for NOAA?

🌀 NOAA tide stations across the Southeast captured record high water levels during Hurricane Helene. Six stations broke their records, including ones set during Hurricane Idalia last year. Visit NOAA’s Post-Event Peak Water Levels map to see more peak water level and meteorological data from the storm. https://lnkd.in/eVzaZhK4

The National Geodetic Survey is conducting flights over the area affected by Hurricane Helene to assess the damage. The latest update includes the Gulf Coast of Florida from Apalachicola to St Marks National Wildlife Refuge. The flights will continue until we have captured all the areas we've identified in coordination with FEMA and other state and federal partners. Those areas cover the Gulf Coast from approximately Dekle Beach to Clearwater. https://lnkd.in/eJREEQTp

As #Helene made landfall the Cedar Key water level station (dating back to 1914) saw the highest water level ever recorded at 9.3 feet above normal high tide. This eclipses last year's record during Hurricane Idalia by over 2 feet. Record water levels were also observed at Clearwater Beach and 4 stations w/in Tampa Bay, where peak water levels were recorded at 6.0 and 7.2 feet above normal high tide.
