NOTICE TO USERS

Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command is consolidating the command's web presence in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) and Navy guidance. The U.S. Naval Oceanography portal will be the single access point for all public facing Meteorology and Oceanography products and services. This publicly-accessible portal is currently online at http://www.usno.navy.mil and is being populated. In the near future, non-DoD users will be redirected to this portal.

DoD customers can access all operational data, products and services via the NIPRnet Naval Oceanography Portal site at https://oceanography.navy.mil (CAC required).

Visit the USNO Eclipse Portal for maps, global circumstances, local circumstances, and animations for all solar and lunar eclipses from 1501 through 2100 inclusive. The information on this site, provided by H.M. Nautical Almanac Office, is obtained from the same software used in the production of our joint publication, The Astronomical Almanac.
