This project will support the acquisition of a state-of-the-art water level measurement system at the Baruch Marine Field Laboratory's (BMFL) primary long-term research site in North Inlet Estuary, South Carolina. Data obtained from the tide gauge will be used to enhance and support research by resident and visiting investigators at the BMFL. The tide gauge will be a "fully integrated electronic data collection, processing and dissemination system" equivalent to the "Next Generation Water Level Measurement System" (NGWLMS) used by the National Ocean Service (NOS) along the US coastlines and accessible via the Internet. The tide gauge will expand the usefulness of the research site and the Baruch Institute's existing long-term data sets from North Inlet Estuary (including 20 years of NSF-LTER/NOAA-NERR data). These comprehensive long-term datasets have provided insights into the role of abiotic and biotic factors in long-term change. Interpretation of these data with respect to either long-or short-term changes in water level (e.g., sea level rise, storm surges, etc.) has been limited by the relatively poor accuracy (+/1 18 mm) of the BMFL's existing water level measurement system. The current system is also highly susceptible to changes in barometric pressure, decreasing accuracy to +/1 390mm during extreme low pressure events (e.g., hurricanes). A more accurate water level system (+/1 3mm) will provide new opportunities for researches to test hypotheses using both existing long-term data and new data. It will also stimulate new research directions and collaborations and will provide new opportunities for comparative research between North Inlet and other research sites where similar equipment already exists.The Baruch Institute has begun to develop partnerships with NOS and the South Carolina Geodetic Survey (SCGS) for deployment, leveling and maintenance of the tide gauge as well as data management and dissemination of tide data. The system specified is compatible with the National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) and NOS will provide a link to the NWLON via NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES). The NWLON is accessible via the Internet and provides basic data management to facilitate use by researchers worldwide in near real time (1 hr delay). The SCGS will level the system to existing benchmarks. The BMFL will coordinate efforts, and provide the basic infrastructure and day-to-day maintenance. This water level measurement system will be a major improvement in design, accuracy, availability, and access of data over the BMFL's existing tidal measurement system.

该项目将支持在南卡罗来纳州北部Inlet河口的Baruch Marine Field Laboratory（BMFL）的主要长期研究站点上获得最先进的水位测量系统。 从潮汐量表获得的数据将用于增强和支持BMFL的居民和访客研究人员的研究。 潮汐量表将是“完全集成的电子数据收集，处理和传播系统”，等同于美国海岸线沿美国国家海洋服务（NOS）使用的“下一代水位测量系统”（NGWLMS），并可以通过互联网访问。 潮汐量表将扩大研究地点和Baruch Institute从North Intlet河口的现有长期数据集的实用性（包括20年的NSF-ter/NOAA-NOAA-NERR数据）。 这些全面的长期数据集为非生物和生物因素在长期变化中的作用提供了见解。 这些数据就水位的长期变化（例如，海平面上升，暴风雨潮等）的解释受到了BMFL现有水位测量系统的相对较差（+/1 18 mm）的限制。 当前的系统也非常容易受到气压变化的变化，在极端低压事件（例如飓风）中，精度降低到 +/1 390mm。 更准确的水位系统（+/1 3mm）将为研究提供新的机会，以使用现有的长期数据和新数据来检验假设。 它还将刺激新的研究方向和合作，并将为北入口和其他已经存在类似设备的其他研究站点之间的比较研究提供新的机会。巴鲁克学院已开始与NOS和南卡罗来纳州的Geodetic调查（SCGS）建立合作伙伴关系，以部署，升级和维护潮湿的数据管理和数据管理和数据管理和Issemantist和Tirseministion的层次。 指定的系统与国家水位观测网络（NWLON）兼容，NOS将通过NOAA的地理操作环境卫星（GOOS）提供与NWLON的链接。 NWLON可以通过Internet访问，并提供基本数据管理，以促进全球近实时（1 HR延迟）的研究人员使用。 SCGS将将系统升至现有基准。 BMFL将协调努力，并提供基本的基础设施和日常维护。 该水位测量系统将在BMFL现有的潮汐测量系统上的设计，准确性，可用性和访问方面有重大改进。
