Context: NANOOS approach to early funding in response to IOOS request
Goal
The regional integration and expansion of existing but disparate observation and modeling capabilities for the estuaries and shores of Oregon (OR) and Washington (WA).
NANOOS pilot: estuaries and shorelines
We will explore issues of governance and coordination, certification and quality control, maintenance, expandability, and data dissemination, while seeking an effective balance between (a) local and intra-regional innovation and customization and (b) inter-regional and national standardization and economies of scale.

NANOOS pilot: estuaries and shorelines
Plate 1: The Columbia River littoral cell stretches approximately 165 kilometers from Tillamook Head, Oregon to Point Grenville, Washington. The littoral cell is divided into four sub-cells, including the Clatsop Plains, Long Beach, Grayland Plains and North Beach. The sub-cells are separated by estuary entrances at the Columbia River, Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor and bounded by rocky headlands. Beach profiles are monitored at 47 sites throughout the littoral cell. Three-dimensional surface maps are collected at 16 sites. Nearshore bathymetry is collected annually along more than half of the littoral cell, nominally at kilometer-spaced transects and in more detail at selected surface map sites. The locations of long-term tide and wave gages are also shown.

Plate 2: SSNERR maintains an observation network in South Slough, in the Coos Bay estuary. With 6 primary stations, the network includes both continuous and episodic sampling strategies, and covers a broad range of in-water physical and water quality parameters, as well as meteorological parameters. The network extends from the watershed to the ocean, with fixed stations are all within the South Slough. URL: http://www.southsloughestuary.org.

Plate 3: OHSU’s CORIE observatory includes modeling, real-time observation, and information systems. While observations emphasize the Columbia River estuary and (to smaller extent) plume, the modeling system extends to most of the PNW coast, and the information system is not geographically constrained. CORIE products are diverse, and often web-based

Observations
NANOOS pilot: estuaries and shorelines
The modeling framework will extend to the entire PNW, with enhanced detail in the Columbia River and its littoral cell.
Builds on existing modeling capabilities (CORIE, …)

Vision: Data and communication system will “provide quantifiably reliable information to the right user, at the right time, in the right format.”
Initially unify “anchors sites” under an existing data and communication system (CORIE), but expect to evolve towards national standards as soon as feasible and appropriate
Data and communication system
NANOOS pilot: estuaries and shorelines
The pilot will focus on providing data products needed to address three environmental issues that are critical to the sustainable development of the PNW;
(a) estuarine water quality(b) estuarine ecosystem management
and restoration (c) coastal storms and erosion
