Does NOAA publish any real-time or near-real-time seafloor point cloud data?

I'm looking for multibeam / bathymetric point clouds, not gridded products. I know NCEI archives raw and processed MBES surveys, but as far as I can tell everything goes through post-processing first, so there's a long delay before it's public.

Two questions:

  1. Is there any public feed where survey data shows up live or close to live, or is archive-only the reality?

  2. What's the actual coverage like for the recent stuff - mostly US EEZ and coastal survey priorities, or broader?
