CO-OPS Currents Observations Data.

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: The National Ocean Service (NOS) maintains a long-term database containing a listing of active stations that are installed all over the United States and U.S. territories. Water Levels observations, coastal currents and other meteorological and oceanographic data are monitored from a network of over 200 permanent, continuously operating stations and from numerous stations operated for short-term and long-term projects. Stations are configured for a variety of observation periods, depending upon the location. For some stations, records date back to the late 1800s. Observed water level, ancillary and meteorological values are disseminated primarily at six minute increments. In addition, some stations provide real-time data for planning and emergency situations. The observed values are processed, stored and distributed over a wide variety of applications. The products are distributed on either hard copy, floppy disk, CD, or over the web and include the following: Active Station Lists , Tide Observation , Wind data , Air Temperature data , Water Temperature data , Barometric Pressure data , Conductivity data , Humidity data , Air Gap data , Currents data , Other Meteorological and or ancillary data. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/ National Ocean Service's (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) manages the National Current Observation Program (NCOP) to collect, analyze, and distribute observations and predictions of currents. The program's goals are to ensure safe, efficient and environmentally sound maritime commerce, and to support environmental needs such as HAZMAT response. The principal product generated by this program is information used to maintain and update the Tidal Current Tables.; abstract: The National Ocean Service (NOS) maintains a long-term database containing a listing of active stations that are installed all over the United States and U.S. territories.
