One key ingredient in providing good water-level nowcasts is obtaining
real-time water level data at strategic locations in the harbor
that represent the water level signal propagating throughout the
port, i.e., wind-induced water-level changes. Water-level data
from a buoy equipped with a GPS receiver can provide these data
needed to improve and validate the water-level model used in U.S.
harbors.
