(United States Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, 1958)This volume was designed primarily as a working manual for the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and describes the procedure used in this office for the harmonic analysis and prediction of tides and tidal currents... -
Manual of tide observations.
(United States Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, 1965)Contains instructions for observing and recording the rise and fall of the tide and for making necessary reductions to determine the datum planes and the nonharmonic quantities published in the tide tables. -
Variability of Tidal Datums and Accuracy in Determining Datums from Short Series of Observations.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 1974)Tidal datum planes are used to determine the positions of boundaries, as planes of reference for maps and charts, in the design of coastal structures, and to delineate the extent of land uses in coastal areas. Even ... -
The National Tidal Datum Convention of 1980.
(NOAA, National Ocean Survey, Silver Spring, MD, 1980) -
Estimating Accuracies Of Tidal Datums From Short Term Observations.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 1981)This paper develops multiple curvilinear regression equations that estimate the accuracy of computed 19 year equivalent tidal datums at tide stations with one or more months of data. These regression equations are simple ... -
Computer applications to the tides in the National Ocean Survey: supplement to Manual of harmonic analysis and prediction of tides (Special Publication 98)
(NOAA, National Ocean Survey, Silver Spring, MD, 1982) -
Next Generation Water Level Measurement System (NGWLMS) Site Design, Preparation, and Installation Manual.
(NOAA, NOS Office of Oceanography and Marine Assessment, Rockville, MD, 1991)The implementation of the NGWLMS in the NWLON and other data collection program networks, represents a fundamental change in how the Branch accomplishes its functions. The NGWLMS, when fully implemented, replaces the ... -
NOS Procedures for Developing and Implementing Operational Nowcast and Forecast Systems for PORTS.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 1999)In order to meet its operational oceanographic mission responsibilities, the National Ocean Service/Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (NOS/CO-OPS) will be developing and implementing nowcast and ... -
Tidal current analysis procedures and associated computer programs.
(NOAA NOS Center For Operational Oceanographic Products and Services Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 1999)The National Ocean Service (NOS) has been charged with producing tidal current tables for the coastal areas of the United States. Tidal currents are almost always the strongest current experienced by vessels operating ... -

This edition has been a group effort by Steacy D.Hicks, Richard L. Sillcox, C.Reid Nichols, Brenda Via, and Evette C. McCray. It was subsequently revised by Chris Zervas. ... -
Tidal datums and their applications.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2001)The United Nations declared 1998 to be the International Year of the Ocean. This declaration provides an opportunity to rais e public awareness of a fundamental boundary defined by the intersection of the ocean with ... -
Ocean Systems Test and Evaluation Program (OSTEP) Development Plan.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2001)The burden on the Nation’s coastal ocean and waterways continues to grow at an accelerating rate, while insufficient resources are available to adequately monitor even the most basic parameters. Advances in technology ... -
Towing Basin Speed Verification of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling Instruments.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2001)With new development in technologies, proliferation of manufacturers, and expanded applications of acoustic Doppler current profiling instruments, the need for proper sensor test procedures becomes increasingly important. ... -
Information Systems Branch PORTS Uniform Flat File Format (PUFFF). Revision 4.
(NOAA, NOS Office of Coast Survey, Silver Spring, MD, 2003)Users of the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) have requested access to PORTS information in a form that can be used as input to their own real-time applications. Until now, only a subset of data was displayed ... -
NOS Procedures for Developing and Implementing Operational Nowcast and Forecast Hydrodynamic Model Systems.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2003)This document details the procedures for developing and implementing O perational Nowcast and F orecast Hydrodynamic Model S ystems (hereafter OFS) by NOAA’s National Ocean Service (NOS). These systems ... -
