A Comparison of Datums Derived from CO-OPS Verified Data Products and Tidal Analysis Datum Calculator.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2017)The NOAA National Ocean Service Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) has developed a publicly accessible tool to compute tidal datums from water level data with a variety of tidal signals. ... -
Error Analysis Procedures Used by the National Ocean Service to Compute Estimated Error Bounds for Tidal Datums in the Arctic Ocean.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2014)NOAA has an established National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) along all U.S. coastlines. One purpose of the NWLON is to provide control for tidal datum determination at short-term water level stations ... -
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 ... -
A Guide to CO-OPS SHEF and CREX Products (2001 Revised 2013).
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2013)The Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) within the National Ocean Service (NOS) provides real-time oceanographic and meteorological information to meet its mission of supporting safe and ... -
Implementation of Procedures for Computation of Tidal Datums in Areas with Anomalous Trends in Relative Mean Sea Level.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2014)NOAA has typically updated tidal datum elevations for the nation to new National Tidal Datum Epoch (NTDE) time periods every 20-25 years. Updates at this frequency are necessary due to long-term global sea level ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Patterns and Projections of High Tide Flooding along the U.S. Coastline Using a Common Impact Threshold.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2018)For forecasting purposes to ensure public safety, NOAA has established three coastal flood severity thresholds. The thresholds are based upon water level heights empirically calibrated to NOAA tide gauge measurement s ... -
Test and Evaluation Report For the Greenspan EC3000 Conductivity/Temperature Sensor.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2013)The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) maintains a suite of conductivity/temperature (CT) sensors on a ... -
Test and Evaluation Report for WaterLog® H-3612 Radar Sensor in CO-OPS Air Gap Applications.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2013)In 2005, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) completed the development, testing, and transition to ... -
Test and Evaluation Report Limited Acceptance of the Design Analysis WaterLog® H-3611i Microwave Radar Water Level Sensor.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2011)The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) is responsible for developing and maintaining the National Water ... -
Test, Evaluation, and Implementation of Current Measurement Systems on Aids-To-Navigation.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2005)The Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS®) is a program of the National Ocean Service’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (NOS/CO-OPS). PORTS® provides real-time marine environmental ... -
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. ... -
Visibility Sensors Implementation Plan.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2009)The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has used visibility sensors at major airports for many years, but the requirement within the maritime industry came in 1980, when the MV Summit Venture hit the Sunshine Skyway ... -
Water Level and Wave Height Estimates at NOAA Tide Stations from Acoustic and Microwave Sensors.
(NOAA, NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, Silver Spring, MD, 2014)The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) is transitioning the primary water level sensor at the majority of tide stations in the ...
