Assessment of the National Ocean Service's tidal current program National Ocean Service's tidal current program

"The intent of this document is to set guidelines for future current surveys in order to update the U.S. reference stations in the Tidal Current Tables and to identify areas where real-time monitoring of currents may be appropriate. ... Potential locations for real-time current monitoring by Physical Oceanographic Real-Time Systems (PORTS) are identified. In addition to real-time current data, PORTS provides other critical navigational information such as water level, density, and meteorological data"--Executive summary, p. 1. "April 1999."
