Errors may be compounded by other factors such as poor satellite geometry, multipath, and poor atmospheric conditions, combining to increase the total error to several centimeters. DOGAMI uses a site calibration process in order to minimize such uncertainties. Once the local site calibration is completed, cross-shore beach profiles are surveyed with the R8 GPS rover unit mounted on a backpack; surveys are typically undertaken during low tide. The approach generally adopted involves walking from the landward edge of the primary dune, over the dune crest, down the beach face, and out into the ocean to approximately wading depth. A straight line perpendicular to the shore is achieved by navigating along a predetermined line displayed on a hand-held Trimble TSC2 computer connected to the R8 rover; RTK-DGPS corrections are provided by an R7 GPS base station located on an established benchmark. The computer shows the position of the operator relative to the survey line and indicates the deviation of the GPS operator from the line. The horizontal variability during and between subsequent surveys is generally minor, approximately 1 m (i.e., about ±0.5 m either side of the line) and, typically, results in negligible vertical uncertainties due to the wide, gently sloping beaches characteristic of much of the Oregon coast. This method can reliably detect elevation changes on the order of 4-5 cm, that is, well below normal seasonal changes in beach elevation, which typically varies by 1–2 m."; String publisher_address "Henderson Hall, 616 NE Northlake Place, Seattle, WA 98105"; String publisher_city "Seattle"; String publisher_country "USA"; String publisher_email "setht1 at uw.edu"; String publisher_institution "Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS)"; String publisher_name "Seth Travis"; String publisher_postalcode "98105"; String publisher_sector "academic"; String publisher_state "WA"; String publisher_type "person"; String publisher_url "https//www.nanoos.org/"; String purpose "The objective of this monitoring program is to document the response of Oregon’s beaches to both short-term climate variability (e.g., El Niños, extreme storms) and longer-term effects associated with the changing climate of the earth (e.g., increasing wave heights, changes to storm tracks, and sea level rise), that will influence the stability or instability of Oregon’s beaches over the next century."; String ror "https://ror.org/01a258x16"; String sourceUrl "(local files)"; Float64 Southernmost_Northing 45.104429243702775; String standard_name_vocabulary "CF Standard Name Table v70"; String subsetVariables "littoral_cell, transect_id"; String summary "This report describes and documents the Oregon Beach and Shoreline Mapping Analysis Program (OBSMAP) maintained by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), with funding from the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing System. The objective of this monitoring program is to document the response of Oregon's beaches to both short-term climate variability (e.g., El Ni�os, extreme storms) and longer-term effects associated with the changing climate of the earth (e.g., increasing wave heights, changes to storm tracks, and sea level rise), that will influence the stability or instability of Oregon's beaches over the next century. Understanding the wide range of responses characteristic of the Oregon coast is critical for effectively managing the public beach both today and into the future. Beach monitoring undertaken as part of the OBSMAP effort is based on repeated high-accuracy surveys of selected beach profiles using a Trimble R7/R8 Real-Time Kinematic Differential Global Positioning System (RTK-DGPS) mounted on either a backpack or on an ATV vehicle. The OBSMAP monitoring network currently consists of 211 beach monitoring sites, which include: 6 sites along the Clatsop Plains (Seaside to the mouth of the Columbia River). Monitored seasonally; 25 sites along the Rockaway littoral cell (Cape Meares to Neahkahnie Mountain). Monitored seasonally; 24 sites in the Netarts cell (Cape Lookout to Oceanside).

Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
