Coffee Chat: NOAA's Coastal Ocean Reanalysis (CORA): Filling Gaps on Maps Through Community-Based Modeling

Register Here

CORA pairs historical observations from NOAA tide gauges with modern computer models to fill gaps in historical records. This dataset helps create a more complete and consistent picture of historical water levels by modeling waves and water levels between NOAA tide gauges. This reanalysis for the Gulf, Atlantic, and Caribbean is made possible through observations from National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON). This celebrated, novel approach of combining models and observations can be used to better assess long-term sea level change and compare current flood risks to those of the past, especially in areas where such data is currently unavailable.

What to Expect:

• Hear from Analise Keeney (Coastal Hazards Oceanographer with NOAA’s Center for Operational Products and Services, CO-OPS)

• Ask questions and engage in informal discussion
