Who We Are

The Delaware Environmental Observing System (DEOS) is a support tool for decision makers involved with emergency management, natural resource monitoring, transportation, and other activities throughout the State of Delaware. Our primary goal is to provide state agencies and the citizens of Delaware with immediate information about environmental conditions in and around the State. DEOS also archives data for historical environmental studies and research.

Popular Products

The GeoBrowser is a tool that provides users a way to access DEOS data through a geographic framework. In the GeoBrowser, you can select stations to see current conditions and access daily and monthly summaries. You can also view the latest weather radar and warnings from the National Weather Service.

Agriculture/Irrigation Summaries are generated for most stations in the DEOS network. Data types in this summary include reference evapotransipiration, growing degree days, soil temperature, and soil moisture.

DEOS Network Station Updates:

10/1/09 - DPTR (Wilmington, DE-Porter) has been removed temporarily and is in the process of being relocated.

9/30/09 - DRHB (Rehoboth Beach, DE-Boardwalk) is temporarily offline during boardwalk reconstruction. A temporary location has been located and the station will be back online later in October.
