Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS)

http://www.co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/hgports/hgports.html
PORTS is a program of the National Ocean Service that includes centralized data acquisition and dissemination systems that provide real-time water levels, currents, and other oceanographic and meteorological data in a variety of user-friendly formats, including telephone voice response and Internet.
PORTS systems are in place in several U.S. harbor areas. The Houston/Galveston PORTS was installed in October of 1995. Three current meters and five water level meters [two National Ocean Service (NOS) units and three Texas Coastal Ocean Observation Network (TCOON) units] have been integrated into a single, real-time data acquisition and dissemination system at the offices of the Coast Guard VTS Center in Houston. Data from the eight devices are gathered every six minutes.
