Dauphin Island Sea Lab and the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program have partnered with Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Alabama Department of Conservation, State Land Division, Coastal Program, and the Environmental Protection Agency's Gulf of Mexico Program to provide real-time hydrographic data. Data are available in a user-friendly format at www.mymobilebay.com. Informative pop-ups describe each parameter and graphs of each may be displayed for the visitor to the website. Researchers may download the data in a spreadsheet format for further analysis.
This data set includes hydrographic and meteorological data.
The value of coastal observing systems is recognized by the U.S. Congress, the National Ocean Partnership Program, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration. Recent reports by the Pew Oceans Commission and U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy have decried the lack of information from near coastal waters on which to base management decisions and recommended monitoring programs linked to strong research. Reasons for continuous, real-time observations of meteorological and hydrographic parameters include (1) continuous characterization of spatial and temporal patterns of change in water quality, (2) development of a permanent record of significant and human caused changes in environmental indicators over time, and (3) support for research activities through the availability of consistent, scientifically valid data. An additional benefit of real-time observation is the potential for the public to track and learn about water quality conditions. Many coastal dwellers are uninformed about conditions in nearby estuaries because they do not have access to current information about parameters such as water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen levels and water level and they may fail to appreciate the complexity of interactions in estuarine ecosystems.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information
NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015.

Barometers are instruments for measuring atmospheric pressure;
two types include mercury barometers and aneroid barometers.
barometric pressure sensor
barometric pressure sensor
instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure.
conductivity sensor
conductivity sensor
OMEGA non-contact conductivity sensor CDCN-108 or Honeywell DirectLine DL423 Sensor Module, for example
Water conductivity sensors are used to measure how well a solution conducts an electrical current.
fluorometer
fluorometer
fluorometer
humidity sensor
humidity sensor
HUMIDITY SENSORS are devices that receive a signal or stimulus
(as heat or pressure or light or motion etc.) and responds to
it, in this case humidity or some measure of the water vapor
content of air.
meteorological sensor
meteorological sensor
Any meteorological sensor, but also see specific instruments such as aerovane, anemometer, etc.
multi-parameter water quality sensor
multi-parameter water quality sensor
used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters
Instrument used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters, often used to measure water quality parameters. Can be a hand-held instrument or a sonde for unattended monitoring. Often used in coastal water monitoring stations. YSI is the preeminent brand (as of 2024).
spectrophotometer
spectrophotometer
spectrophotometer, optical spectrometer, spectrograph or spectroscope
An optical spectrometer (spectrophotometer, spectrograph or spectroscope) is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify materials.

Instrumentation for the spectral dispersion and isolation of optical radiation (IUPAC Recommendations 1995)". Pure Appl. Chem. IUPAC. 67 (10): 1725–1744. doi:10.1351/pac199567101725. A spectrometer is the general term for describing a combination of spectral apparatus with one or more detectors to measure the intensity of one or more spectral bands."
