The Maurice Lamontagne Institute (MLI) remote sensing laboratory operates NOAA satellite image receiving stations in Mont-Joli (Quebec), Resolute Bay (Nunavut) and Sidney (British Columbia). Images from Fairbanks (Alaska), Wallops Island (Virginia), Monterrey (California) and Sioux Falls (South Dakota) are also acquired from the NOAA CLASS archives. These data are processed to calculate sea surface temperatures (SST) and are used within oceanographic research projects and for ecosystem monitoring. These images allow the monitoring of the evolution of diverse physical processes and their coupling to biological processes.

The nowCOAST 'analyses' Web Map Service (WMS) provides layers containing various NOAA gridded weather and oceanographic surface analysis products. The 'analyses' WMS is one of several map services provided by NOAA's nowCOAST project (http://nowcoast.noaa.gov). For further layer information such as layer icons, legend graphics, layer descriptions, and valid timestamps, see the nowCOAST 'LayerInfo Web Service' description page at: http://nowcoast.noaa.gov/help/layerinfo.shtml.

The nowCOAST 'wwa' Web Map Service (WMS) provides layers containing near real-time watches, warnings and advisories from the National Weather Service (NWS). These layers include the latest Tropical Cyclone Track Forecast from the NWS National Hurricane Center (NHC), updated hourly, as well as NWS short-duration warnings (Tornado, Extreme Wind, Severe Thunderstorm, Flood, Flash Flood, and Special Marine Warnings), updated each minute. The The 'wwa' WMS is one of several map services provided by NOAA's nowCOAST project (http://nowcoast.noaa.gov).
