near-real-time daily-averaged surface and subsurface data from atlas moorings are provided by the tao project office. the next generation atlas moorings measures various data including wind velocity components, air temperature, relative humidity, rain rate, shortwave and longwave radiation, barometric pressure, sea surface and subsurface temperature and conductivity, and current velocity. prior to the next generation atlas moorings, the standard atlas moorings measured wind velocity components, air temperature, relative humidity, sea surface temperature and subsurface temperature.
