Navigation Safety

Boating is a huge industry in the Pacific Northwest, both for recreation and commerce. The Coastal Storms Program listened to these communities and leveraged resources from state and federal agencies to find the information these users needed.

Lower Columbia River Circulation Model
Knowing the real-time and forecast conditions of Oregon and Washington State’s Lower Columbia River will help the marine navigation community and coastal, ecosystem, fisheries, and emergency managers more effectively do their jobs. The circulation model provides forecasts of river and estuary conditions extending from the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River to the coastal region as far north as Grays Harbor and as far south as Tillamook Bay.
