ISDM has been collecting, archiving and providing spectral wave data on behalf of Canadians since 1970. On a daily basis we process data reported on the GOES and ARGOS networks within the Canadian area of interest. Please see the overview page for more programme detail.

All of our observed wave spectra and some specialized products are now available on-line.
