    • Variability of Tidal Datums and Accuracy in Determining Datums from Short Series of Observations. 

      Swanson, R.L. (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 ...

    • Visibility Sensors Implementation Plan. 

      Roggenstein, E.; Bushnell, M.; Krug, W. (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. 

      Park, J.; Heitsenrether, R.; Sweet, W.V. (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 ...

    • Wave Measurements from Radar Tide Gauges. 

      Fiorentino, Laura A.; Heitsenrether, Robert; Krug, Warren (2019)
      Currently the NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) is transitioning the primary water level sensor at most NWLON stations, from an acoustic ranging system, to microwave radars. With ...
