The Avian Knowledge Network (AKN) is an international organization of government and non-government institutions focused on understanding the patterns and dynamics of bird populations across the Western Hemisphere. The goal is to educate the public on the dynamics of bird populations, provide interactive decision-making tools for land managers, make available a data resource for scientific research, and advance new exploratory analysis techniques to study bird populations.

Carbon dioxide data: archival data for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) and the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) CO2 measurements.

The Exchange Network makes it easier to share environmental data. States, Tribes, Territories, and EPA exchange large quantities of data about the environment. This information helps policymakers, interest groups, and the public understand environmental problems, make informed decisions, and follow regulations.

Fishery-Independent Survey System (FINSS) is a national system that characterizes NMFS ocean observation activities and data collection during the fishery-independent surveys, and provides up-to-date information to fishery scientists, managers and general public through flexible database querying, digital mapping and tabular reporting applications.

Federal agencies and their partners collect and manage large amounts of geospatial data - but these data are often not easily found when needed or accessible in useful forms. The Geospatial Platform provides ready access to federally maintained geospatial data, services and applications.

The NOAA Integrated Ocean Observation System (IOOS) program initiated development of a Data Integration Framework to improve management and delivery of an initial subset of ocean observations. The Data Integration Framework will establish the technical infrastructure, standards, and protocols needed to improve delivery of at least six of 20 IOOS core oceanographic variables defined in the U.S. IOOS Development Plan, as well as winds.

The Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) mission is to perform operations, research, and development in airborne lidar bathymetry and complementary technologies to support the coastal mapping and charting requirements of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the US Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). JALBTCX executes survey operations using the Compact Hydrographic Airborne Rapid Total Survey (CHARTS) system and industry-based coastal mapping and charting systems. CHARTS collects either 20 kHz topographic lidar data or 3 kHz bathymetric lidar data, each concurrent with digital RGB and hyperspectral imagery. Survey operations support the USACE National Coastal Mapping Program and NAVOCEANO nautical charting missions.

Data are one of the most valuable products of the LTER program. The LTER Network seeks to inform the LTER and broader scientific community by creating well designed and well documented databases and to provide fast, effective, and open access to LTER data via a network-wide information system designed to facilitate data exchange and integration. Currently, the LTER Data Portal contains entries for over 6000 ecological datasets from 26 LTER Network research sites, and thousands of additional datasets from numerous other ecological field stations and research institutions.

The Multipurpose Marine Cadastre (MMC) is an integrated marine information system that provides jurisdictional, legal, physical, ecological, and human use data in a common geographic information system (GIS) framework. The MMC was designed specifically to support renewable energy siting on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf but is also being used for various other ocean-related efforts. Marine Cadastre.gov provides direct access to authoritative ocean data; visualization and analytical tools for renewable energy planning and siting; and technical support to project partners and data providers.

Marview is an integrated data-driven environment providing essential information to support the strategic requirement of the U.S. Marine Transportation System (MTS) and its contribution to the economic viability of the Nation.  Available information includes: over 2500 links of transportation data sources,  physical attributes information on national and international ports and related facilities, information on U.S. Waterways and facilities, waterborne domestic and foreign trade (cargo, passenger, and vessel movement), intermodal freight transportation, information about domestic shipbuilding and repair yards.

Surface meteorological data: meteorological data in appropriate World Meteorological Organization formats as part of the Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) program: air temperature, sea-surface temperature, dew point temperature, pressure, wind speed and direction, wind and swell waves, weather, short- and long-term radiation, visibility, cloud cover and type, and ice accretion.

Geophysical, geological and geochemical data: bathymetry, magnetics, gravity, seismic and other quantitative geophysical data; geological data including station locations, collection/storage locations, preliminary descriptions of seafloor samples recovered, and all descriptions and analytical data, including geochemistry, derived from sediment and rock samples, including data from the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP).

• Ocean physical data: Temperature, salinity, light transmission or attenuation, currents, waves, pressure, sea level, and sound speed.
• Ocean chemistry data: Nutrients such as phosphates, nitrates, nitrites and silicates; chemical tracers such as helium, tritium, freon and argon; pollutants such as petroleum hydrocarbons, organochloride and organophosphorus pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals. Data may represent chemicals in water samples or biota.
• Ocean biology data: Primary productivity; concentrations of pigments in phytoplankton, such as chlorophyll-a; species lists; biomass of phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos and nekton; and bioluminescence.

Sea ice and other glaciological data: sea ice, icebergs, ice shelves and associated physical oceanographic and meteorological data.

Web-mapping portal for real-time coastal observations and NOAA forecasts.

NREL is helping to develop high-resolution projections of wind resources worldwide. This allows for more accurate siting of wind turbines and has led to the recognition of higher class winds in areas where none were thought to exist.

The Digital Coast provides the information needed by those who want to conserve and protect coastal communities and natural resources. While the need for good geospatial data forms the foundation of the Digital Coast, the basic premise of the site is the understanding that data alone are not enough. People need the associated tools, training, and information that turn data into information capable of making a difference.

The National Map is a collaborative effort among the USGS and other Federal, State, and local partners to improve and deliver topographic information for the Nation. It has many uses ranging from recreation to scientific analysis to emergency response. The National Map is easily accessible for display on the Web, as products and services, and as downloadable data. The geographic information available from the National Map includes orthoimagery (aerial photographs), elevation, geographic names, hydrography, boundaries, transportation, structures, and land cover.
