Coastal Data Information Program

The Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) is an extensive network for monitoring waves and beaches along the coastlines of the United States. Since its inception in 1975, the program has produced a vast database of publicly-accessible environmental data for use by coastal engineers and planners, scientists, mariners, and marine enthusiasts. The program has also remained at the forefront of coastal monitoring, developing numerous innovations in instrumentation, system control and management, computer hardware and software, field equipment, and installation techniques.

美国沿海数据信息计划（Coastal Data Information Program，CDIP）是一项覆盖广泛的沿海波浪和海滩监测网络。自1975年启动以来，该计划已构建了一个庞大的公共环境数据数据库，供沿海工程师、规划师、科学家、航海家和海洋爱好者使用。该计划始终站在沿海监测的前沿，不断在仪器、系统控制与管理、计算机硬件与软件、现场设备以及安装技术等方面实现诸多创新。
