    • Hydrometeorological Automated Data System (HADS) SHEF-encoded Data

    Metadata Updated: September 19, 2023

    HADS is a real-time and near real-time data acquisition, processing, and distribution system operated by the National Weather Service Office of Dissemination. The HADS system acquires raw hydrological and meteorological observation messages from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) Data Collection Platforms (DCPs). The data originates from DCPs owned and/or operated by more than 100 cooperators. The NWS operates a relatively small network of DCPs. The majority of the data acquired and processed by HADS comes from DCPs owned and/or operated by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geologic Survey, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, and departments of natural resources from numerous state and local agencies throughout the country.
