Real Time Data Available through HADS

The Hydrometerological Automated Data System (HADS) is a data acquisition, data processing, and product distribution system, operating in support of nation-wide activities administered by NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS). The primary requirement of HADS is to provide near real-time data to the Nation's Hydrologic Services program. HADS has been a crucial partner in developing the NERRS real-time data capabilities and continues to operate as an additional data provider that allows NERRS to reach user groups in the weather forecasting community.

This map shows the location of all the National Estuarine Research Reserves. If you move your pointer over a reserve, it will show you the reserve name. If you click on the dot, it will take you to the table below the map, which contains a list of NWS IDs for each telemetered site (water quality or meteorological data) within that reserve. Click on the ID to be taken to the relevant HADS data page.
