Abstract

ABSTRACT The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) is the foundation of a comprehensive system for observing, communicating, and assessing the impact of changing water levels nationwide. The network also measures other oceanographic parameters in addition to water levels, including meteorological parameters. Although initially established to support navigation, NWLON is a ‘go to’ source for data and products to support coastal community decision making. Real-time water level information available 24/7 is critical to emergency managers and planners monitoring changing water levels and contributes to NOAA’s forecast model for tsunami and storm surge warnings. This article also discusses the role of NWLON in terms of addressing emerging observational needs around emergency management, tracking changes in sea level rise through persistent changes in high tide flooding, establishing new regional sea level scenarios and projections, and restoring tidally influenced habitats. Sea level trends have been computed at 142 water level stations using a minimum span of 30 years of observations at each location. Coupling present trends with projected future scenarios supports decisions that will remain relevant into the future.

美国国家海洋和大气管理局的国家水位观测网(NWLON)

国家海洋和大气管理局国家水位观测网(NWLON)是全国水位变化观测、通信和影响评估综合系统的基础。除水位外，该网络还测量其他海洋参数，包括气象参数。虽然最初是为了支持导航而建立的，但NWLON是支持沿海社区决策的数据和产品的“首选”来源。24/7实时水位信息对于监测水位变化的应急管理人员和规划人员至关重要，并有助于NOAA的海啸和风暴潮预警预报模型。本文还讨论了NWLON在以下方面的作用:解决围绕应急管理的新观测需求，通过涨潮洪水的持续变化跟踪海平面上升的变化，建立新的区域海平面情景和预测，以及恢复受潮汐影响的栖息地。142个水位站利用每个地点30年的最小观测跨度计算了海平面趋势。将当前趋势与预测的未来情景相结合，可以支持与未来相关的决策。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
