The CORIE observation network includes an extensive array of fixed stations in the Columbia River estuary, and one station in the nearby coastal ocean. In addition, the Clastsop Community College's M/V Forerunner serves as a mobile station of opportunity, and several cruises have been conducted over the years. CORIE also supports a limited number of satellite stations in other Oregon estuaries.
The CORIE Station Locator is a convenient way to become familiar with the names and locations of the various stations. At each station, variable combinations of in-situ sensors measure one or more physical properties of water or atmosphere:
Water temperature, salinity (via conductivity) and water levels (via pressure) are measured at most stations. Multi-level measurements of temperature and salinity are available only at selected stations (currently: Red26, Tansy Pt)
Profiles of velocity and acoustic backscatter are measure at five stations (Red26, Tansy Pt, AM169, AM012 and OGI01).
Various atmospheric parameters (wind speed and direction, air temperature and relative humdity, longwave radiation and shortwave radiation) are measured at Marsh Is. Wind and air temperature are also measured at Tansy Pt, and were measured for several years at Rice Is.
Miscellaneous other variables have been measured at various times
Typical sampling intervals range from 1 to 15 minutes. Most CORIE stations allow real-time access to the data, while others allow only access to archived data. The real-time telemetry network is based on spread-spectrum radio.

The CORIE observation network is anchored on an array of fixed stations in the Columbia River estuary and nearby coastal ocean. The data inventory images presented here refer to some of the primary data types collected at those fixed stations, giving a sense of the extent of coverage per station and per year available for those data types. The inventory is intended to be representative, but not necessarily comprehensive. Velocity and backscatter data are specifically not shown, although ADP temperatures can be used to track the stations and periods for which profiles of velocity and acoustic backscatter were collected.
Some of the data shown here do not pass CORIE quality criteria. A verified subset of the data archive is available for download.

Cole: New stuff. Consider whether Charles needs to be involved in a short term solution, if you are not ready for a long-term one.

11. Climatology pages, such as the one shown to the right, provide a quick overview of the statistics of a physical variable, either in a given year or in aggregate over the years of record. Box 5 allows the user to select the desired variable and period.
All statistics are generated automatically, and are based on all verified data available. Missing data may distort statistics (e.g., if data is missing for the Summer of a given year, the maximum temperature for that year may appear abnormally low).
The user needs to be aware of the data used to compute the statistics (e.g., by reading this discussion and by using the link in Box 6 to verify the specific conditions of the station of interest). Only then should he/she make a decision on whether the bias introduced by the missing data is acceptable.
Four broad types of data products characterize the Climatolgy of a variable. 2 1
range is missing in the daily statistics ! 3 4 5 6
The first product (Box 3) is a set of basic statistics (maximum, minimum, average) for both the variable and its daily range, over the entire selected period of observation (a specific year, or all years of record). Missing data may very severely distort these statistics.
The second product is an appropriate sub-set of the above basic statistics, computed over shorter times within the period of observation. Currently, only daily statistics (link in Box 4) are available. To minimize distortion, daily statistics are computed only for days where at least 23 hours of data are available. We anticipate monthly and quarterly statistics becoming available.

12. continuation
The third product (Box 5) is a set of histograms. Each histogram uses all the verified data available for the selected period of observation (a specific year, or all years of record) and aggregates such data on an annual, quarterly, or monthly basis. The number of data points used in each histogram is listed (Box 7), together with the percentage of missing data points (Box 8). Large data gaps may severely distort the shape of the histograms.
The size of the histogram bins is:
Temperature: 0.50C
Salinity: ?? psu
Water level: ?? m 7 8
missing: 20%
Charles: range is missing in the daily statistics !
Charles: please provide values
The fourth product (Box 3) is a set of boxplots. Each boxplot covers a calendar month, although it might include data across multiple years. For each day of the month:
the blue bar is bounded by the the maximum and minimum value of the variable
the blue dot represents the median (or average?) value
the red bar is bounded by the values of the 25% (true?) and 75% (true?) percentiles

13. Charles: please make the necessary corrections to the following plot types

14. use blue rather than black (same blue of the bar).
just for the bars; applies to all histograms
add ‘missing data’ percentage
the bin size is not obvious; make it 25 cm?
note: I am also not sure what the bin size is for salinity; bin size for temperature (0.5C) is fine
use ‘frequency’ rather than ‘distribution’
introduce space between ‘Level’ and ‘m’

15. standard deviation: xx
By clicking in any of the monthly histograms (not true for quarterly or annual),we should be able to see an enhanced close-up of that histogram.
add ‘missing data’ percentage
use ‘frequency’ rather than ‘distribution’
maximum: xx
minimum: xx
range: xx
median: xx
average: xx
standard deviation: xx
add
add background grid (bin size defines x-axis density; 5% is probably a good y-axis density)
