The Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS), the regional association of the national Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), is sponsored by a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The goals of NANOOS are to present existing and develop new and experimental prediction data and products to address the ocean observing and predicting needs of local stakeholders such as tribes, state/local governments, researchers, industry, educators, and the general public. These data and products carry neither warranty nor certification of correctness; nor do these data/products purport to measure/predict impacts beyond the capabilities of existing and validated observational or predictive systems of federal, state, tribal, or local entities.

NANOOS and its member collaborators throughout Washington, Oregon, Northern California, and British Columbia (Canada) offer these new and existing experimental data and products but assume no liability for any damages arising from any predictions found herein. Rather, we provide them to indicate the value of future validated and verified data and products arising from this effort.
