CBI installs and maintains a network of sensors that are used for navigational aid to maritime transport. NOAA PORTS® is a decision support tool that improves the safety and efficiency of maritime commerce and coastal resource management through the integration of real-time environmental observations, forecasts and other geospatial information. PORTS® measures and disseminates observations and predictions of water levels, currents, salinity, and meteorological parameters (e.g., winds, atmospheric pressure, air and water temperatures) that mariners need to navigate safely.
PORTS monitoring stations follow standards outlined by NOAA. See tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/ports.
