Heritage observatory · United States · 2009 Ocean Observatories InitiativeCabled and moored arrays in the Atlantic and Pacific, designed to give scientists a continuous, real-time view of the ocean for decades.Heritage observatory · Equatorial Pacific Ocean · 1985 TAOSome seventy moorings along the equator across the Pacific, each reporting wind, temperature and salinity by satellite.Interactive tools
