The site also provides sea level trend analysis for to the 44 non-CO-OPS water level stations identified as part of core global network for monitoring long term sea level trends. The site also has information on the application of water level and datum information to sea level rise impact studies.
• The National Office for Integrated and Sustained Ocean Observations is a federal interagency office supported by ten agencies. It was established by the Congressionally-created National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP). Since its establishment in 2000, Ocean.US has catalyzed the coordinated development of an Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), the U.S. contribution to a Global Ocean Observing System and to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems.
