NOAA TAO Equatorial Pacific Ocean Data Availability Exceeds Targets

Data availability from National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array in the equatorial Pacific Ocean has improved to above the 80% data availability performance target.

NOAA completed six service cruises in the TAO array during calendar year 2014 and the array has sustained above an 80% data availability performance level since November 2014.
