The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Ocean Service's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services has designed and developed a system enhancement to improve data throughput from real-time, remote ocean current monitoring platforms. Aluminum clamp and payload are affixed to U.S. Coast Guard buoys, measure current profile and transmit directly to endpoint databases...
Recent studies on global climate change have identified the Arctic as the fastest warming region on Earth. Resulting trends of receding sea ice have led to more accessible Arctic waterways during summer months and an anticipated increase in maritime transport throughout the region. Prolonged access between North America and Europe via the Northeast Passage is of significant interest to the international...
Current profiles collected using a Nortek Aquadopp profiler mounted in an AXYS Technologies TRIAXYS wave buoy are compared to coincident measurements from nearby bottom-mounted instruments. A 2014 experiment conducted in the Chesapeake Bay with 0 – 3 m waves and 0 – 1 m/s currents suggested that observed discrepancies of 200–400 mm/sec could be due to inadequate resolution of rapid buoy movements...
The United States Boy Scouts of America (BSA) programs are designed to cover a range of different youth development activities. Central to the BSA program is the merit badge system. Merit badges provide an opportunity for scouts to learn about a specific topic, which may be focused on a hobby, physical activity, or prospective career field. There are more than 120 different merit badges that any Scout...
The United States 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 Level Observation Network (NWLON) which consists of over 200 long term observatories throughout all U.S. coasts. CO-OPS continually pursues efforts to identify potential...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) currently maintains twenty-two operational Physical Oceanographic Real- Time System (PORTS) observatories throughout the United States’ coastal regions. Ocean current observations are among the multiple PORTS data products that provide critical support for safe navigation...
