Conductivity Stations

Conductivity Stations This feature layer, utilizing National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), displays the geographic locations at which conductivity observations are being collected. Per NOAA, "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 conductivity sensors for determining the instantaneous electrical conductivity of water in navigable waterways in the US. 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."

Per the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), Water - Oceans & Coast is defined as "features and characteristics of salt water bodies (i.e. tides, tidal waves, coastal information, reefs) and features and characteristics that represent the intersection of the land with the water surface (i.e. shorelines), the lines from which the territorial sea and other maritime zones are measured (i.e. baseline maritime) and lands covered by water at any stage of the tide (i.e. Outer Continental Shelf ), as distinguished from tidelands, which are attached to the mainland or an island and cover and uncover with the tide."
