The Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity:
The Knowledge Network for
Biocomplexity (KNB) is a national network intended to facilitate ecological
and environmental research on biocomplexity. For scientists, the KNB is an
efficient way to discover, access, interpret, integrate and analyze complex
ecological data from a highly-distributed set of field stations,
laboratories, research sites, and individual researchers.
National Biological Information Infrastructure:
The National Biological
Information Infrastructure (NBII) is a broad, collaborative program to
provide increased access to data and information on the nation's biological
resources. The NBII links diverse, high-quality biological databases,
information products, and analytical tools maintained by NBII partners and
other contributors in government agencies, academic institutions,
non-government organizations, and private industry.
Organization of Biological Field Stations:
The OBFS Data Registry is the
primary source for comprehensive information about scientific and research
data sets collected within or under the auspices of the Organization of
Biological Field Stations. This project is a cooperative effort of OBFS,
the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), the UC
Natural Reserve System, and the LTER Network Office. The Data Registry is
based on software developed by the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity
(KNB), and houses metadata that are compliant with Ecological Metadata
Language (EML). Credit for the data sets in this registry goes to the
investigators who collected the data, and also to the OBFS sites and system
for providing an effective and pleasant environment for research and
education at the individual research stations.
USGS Water Resources Division:
The USGS investigates the occurrence,
quantity, quality, distribution, and movement of surface and underground
waters and disseminates the data to the public, State and local
governments, public and private utilities, and other Federal agencies
involved with managing our water resources. This website provides access to
water-resources data collected throughout Florida. This data is collected
by the U.S. Geological Survey with support from Federal, State, and local
cooperators.
NOAA Tides and Currents:
NOAA Tides and Currents, managed by the Center for
Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS), is the portal to
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's vast collection of
oceanographic and meteorological data (historical and real-time),
predictions, and nowcasts and forecasts.
Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), Hurricane
Research Division (HRD) Hurricane Data:
NOAA's Hurricane Research Division
has a variety of data sets that have been collected during their annual
Hurricane Field Program. This consists mostly of data collected by NOAA
aircraft flying into and around hurricanes, but also includes wind field
analyses, land based radar loops, and data archived from U.S. Air Force
reconnaissance flights.
