Abstract
This paper describes the recently developed plan to systematically recapitalize the entire National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON)–-one of the top 20 observing systems in NOAA–-to maintain it in a state of operational readiness. The NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) operates and maintains the NWLON, a network of precise, long-term water level monitoring stations along the U.S. coasts, Great Lakes, and territories (U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Midway Atoll, Wake Island, the Marshall Islands, and Guam).A considerable number of coastal and Great Lakes NWLON stations are at or approaching their planned end of life. This plan outlines an agile, proactive recapitalization program that continuously evaluates past, present, and future capabilities, as well as requirements and risk.
