Houston/Galveston PORTS Monthly Progress Report TASK Order XIII July 2010
Submitted to: Mr. Mark Bailey NOAA/NOS COTR Houston/Galveston PORTS 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle, WA 98115 Mr. Marty Welch NOAA Field Operations Pacific Regional Office 1305 East Highway Silver Spring, MD 20910 Submitted by: Ms. Amy Mendoza Nino Texas A&M University-DNR 4700 Ave U, Bldg. 216 Galveston, TX 77551
Summary The Division of Near-Shore Research (DNR), under the above listed contract, provides the maintenance and operation of the Houston/Galveston PORTS. The system has been maintained and operated with utmost concerns for timely and accurate maintenance and repairs. DNR is not providing data files, photos, to the NOAA/NOS COTR as all information continues to be available and at the disposal of the COTR via the DNR data base website. DNR will continue to monitor the network and make the necessary or directed repairs in order to ensure continuous data retrieval. DNR will also continue to make recommendations to you when reoccurring situations can be resolved. I greatly appreciate your assistance in working on the Houston/Galveston PORTS and look forward to many more years of service.
Scheduled Preventive Maintenance Visits Scheduled visits for June were completed for all Houston Galveston PORTS stations. Site visit logs are available beginning on page 3.
