Weather and Tide Observations Across Long Island

Weather and Tide Stations

The School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and the Atmospheric Sciences Division with the dutiful assistance of the Instrument Laboratory operate and maintain several real-time data systems across Long Island. This includes three weather stations that provide to-the-minute data of the current conditions. The weather stations are located at the Stony Brook University South P Lot, the Stony Brook University Southampton Marine Station and the Stony Brook University Health Sciences Center. SoMAS also maintains three web cams: two located at the Southampton Marine Station and one on the roof of the Health Sciences Center.

SBUWeather

Real-time data from the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, student forecasts and the Meteorology Club weather connection providing a central location for weather-related content at Stony Brook University.

LIShore.org 

LIShore (pronounced "Ell Eye Shore") provides information on sea and shoreline conditions for Long Island, New York. LIShore began in 1998 as the Shinnecock Inlet Field Monitoring Project. From this initial focus on Shinnecock Inlet and Shinnecock Bay, LIShore has expanded along the South Shore of Long Island.

Storm Surge Research Group

The Stony Brook Storm Surge Research Group is developing a real-time weather and ocean storm surge prediction system which can be used for a variety of purposes. Such uses include hurricane and nor ‘easter flooding predictions and alerts, water quality and effluent dispersion, the feasibility of building storm surge barriers to protect the New York Metropolitan region from storm damage and coastal flooding in an era of global climate change and rising sea level.

Coastal Meteorology and Atmospheric Prediction Group 

The COMAP group focuses on improving the understanding and forecasting  of meteorological phenomena in the coastal margins of North America.
