TLDR
Special applications of real-time water level and current data and results of circulation models promise substantial benefits, including economic gains and safety of life, property, and the environment.Abstract:
Special applications of real-time water level and current data and results of circulation models promise substantial benefits, including economic gains and safety of life, property, and the environment. Potential economic benefits for maritime commerce alone are estimated conservatively at about $35.4 million annually for 22 United States ports, after deducting system operating costs. corresponding benefits include reduced deadtime waiting to enter or leave port, more efficient use of lightering and of tugs used for docking and undocking, and full use of the ship channel depths.read more

The Circulation and Water Level Forecast Atlas: A New Product in Development at NOS
B. Parker,R. Patchen +1 more
TL;DR: The National Ocean Service (NOS) developed a new product aimed at improving the prediction of water level and currents in key waterways of the United States as discussed by the authors, which will provide a series of charts and graphs for predicting the tide and tidal current anywhere in a particular estuary.
