Science Annotations
NOAA Ocean Exploration works closely with Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) to implement SeaTube, a web-based annotation interface for ROV operations on expeditions aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer.
EX FTP Server and Chat Room
The FTP site serves as a repository for Okeanos Explorer data for current cruises. The primary purpose of the FTP site is to make data collected by the ship available to shore-based personnel. It can also be used during the cruise planning process to share large, pre-existing data files (e.g. > 5MB). Please refer to the EX FTP Server page to learn how to access the server and to upload and download data.
