Keys to success Connecting data from
watersheds, estuaries, and coastal areas
Sharing of data streams Integrating data from different
agencies and sampling strategies (discrete, probabilistic, continuous, satellite)
Creating and sharing tools to synthesize and interpret data
Envisioning and using new technologies to collect data
Successful Partnerships
CBOS-CIPS CIPS forecasts require near-real time, and eventually verified , data for
validation and subsequent evaluation, respectively. The USGS is to provide river flow and tidal
water-level data for selected major tributaries in the CB for these purposes.
Recently DM staff from USGS, MACOORA, and CBOS (NOAA NCBO) developed a prototype approach to obtain these data from USGS NWIS Instadata and IDA database services.
This prototype approach helps resolve a long-standing challenge—t o merge?, incorporate? near-real time and verified data from the USEPA-USGS National Water-Quality Monitoring Network stations into? with? data from the emerging IOOS tidal and ocean monitoring networks.
