RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for distributing news and information on the web. GoMOOS provides RSS feeds on pages such as Hourly Buoy Data and All Data Measured. These feeds include real-time observations from GoMOOS, NDBC and C-MAN sites situated in the Gulf of Maine. These real-time data are provisional; please consult the definition of provisional data and their inherent limitations.
The following is a list of RSS feeds currently available at GoMOOS (more will be added soon!):
- Surface hourly buoy data
- All hourly buoy data
You need to follow two simple steps to start using these RSS feeds:
- First, download and install an RSS reader application. There are many options, and we've provided links to RSS readers for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, FreeBSD and UNIX below.
- Configure the application for the GoMOOS RSS feeds. Depending on the RSS reader application you choose, this is usually not much harder than typing a web-site address into your browser window.
If all this is new and you do want to access these RSS feeds, don't worry. We've developed simple step-by-step examples for Windows and Macintosh users at these links.
Alternately, web-based RSS readers are built in to (for example) My Yahoo! and Google's Gmail.
