These observations are part of the National Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) Program. The data from these sensors, when combined with temperature, can be used to calculate water salinity and density, which are important tools for safe navigation, especially in the determination of ship draft. Included in this data collection are preliminary 6-minute conductivity observations from coastal stations in the US. This data is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including safety of navigation, improved economic efficiency, coastal resource protection, and scientific research and analysis. onGoing historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Water Level Data Manager haz.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/hazard/img/CO-OPS_conductivity_location_map.png Map of Stations with CO-OPS Conductivity Sensors PNG Earth Science > Oceans > Salinity/Density > Conductivity theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2020-01-09 publication 9.1 NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

During the course of the Tampa Bay Oceanography Project (TOP) survey, PORTS was developed and became fully operational in October 1991, with information available both as a single-call, voice response telephone message, and as either a text message or a data file via modem. At the time, PORTS consisted of ADCP current meters located at the Sunshine Skyway and the mouth of Old Tampa Bay, a meteorological station located near Cut B and Manatee Channel, and water level and wind sensors located at Port Tampa, St. Petersburg, Port Manatee, and the McKay Bay entrance. asNeeded The Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) of the National Ocean Service (NOS), an organizational element of NOAA, operates and maintains a network of approximately 200 long-term National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) stations as part of the National Water Level Program (NWLP) for the United States coasts and in the Great Lakes. CO-OPS also installs and operates short-term water level stations in support of a variety of programs including hydrographic surveys, marine boundary determination, tidal predictions, habitat restoration, dredging, climate change, and long-term sea level rise studies. CO-OPS collects current data as a part of the National Currents Observation Program (NCOP) at locations throughout the United States. The data collected and predictions derived are used to ensure safe, efficient, and environmentally sound maritime commerce, environmental assessment, and hazard mitigation. CO-OPS provides a set of water level and coastal current products. These include data and products required by NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) to meet flood and tsunami warning responsibilities and a national network of Physical Oceanographic Real-Time Systems (PORTS) in major United States harbors. Physical Oceanographic Real-Time Systems (PORTS) Coastal Station The station was set up to receive conductivity data collected by a deployed sensor, stored in Data Collection Platform (DCP), transmitted via Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) system, and ingested by CO-OPS database.
