Abstract

This paper describes the missions, products and system requirements for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration´s (NOAA) next- generation tide and water level measurement system. It traces the ongoing process of system improvements which are necessary to: (1) maintain and enhance operation of the measurement system; (2) maintain and improve the quality of the data collected, and (3) ultimately improve the timeliness of the output products based on that data.
