Description
The Monitoring Network Flemish Banks (Meetnet Vlaamse Banken) was set up for the acquisition of real-time oceanographic and meteorological data along the Belgian coast and on the Belgian continental shelf. more

The network serves a number of purposes: to support safe and efficient shipping, inform studies or the execution of infrastructure works along the coast, to inform the provision of weather forecasting services available from www.kustweerbericht.be and to warn coastal communities, managers and stakeholders of increased risks of flooding. Besides the data are available to the scientific community and the general public. It is a sensor network measuring waves, tidal height, current and water temperature; meteorological parameters are wind, air pressure, air temperature and rainfall. Data can be accessed, visualised and downloaded from www.meetnetvlaamsebanken.be. Data can also accessed through webservices: https://api.meetnetvlaamsebanken.be/. All other data requests should be addressed to kust@vlaanderen.be.
