|  Waves rise as mountains And rise to the heavens, And with horror drops glances Into instantly dug abysses A disturbing force like passion, Does not know of a centre point, Now to the sky, now into the precipice throws A boat without an oar or rudder. A.K. Tolstoy | | | | Man Fights the Ocean | | |  In the centuries-old chronicle of navigation, it is possible to find a great deal of evidence of the struggle of Man against the terrible chaos of the Ocean in literature, paintings and sculpture. These are the impassioned lines of telegraph messages and gripping descriptions of storms and hurricanes, epic paintings by artists and stone monuments to seamen who have perished in the Ocean. Humans have fought back against violent Ocean chaos by strengthening vessels, finding better and more reliable means of navigation and communication and increasing the power of engines.Text and images are from Man and the Ocean, a CD-ROM produced by the Russian Head Department of Navigation and Oceanography (HDNO). | | | | |

( WEBSITE )
| | Description | Tides Online is a web-based product which provides users with the latest graphical and tabular water level observations, predictions and meteorological data in real-time or near real-time from 175 National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) gauges in the United States, including Alaska, and Hawaii, and U.S. territories. During severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes, specific gauges located along the projected path of a storm will be automatically "triggered" to transmit data no later than every 20 minutes. Tides Online detects these stations and lists them on the main page for easy access to the data. | | Keywords | WATER LEVEL OBSERVATIONS; TIDES; DATA | | Geography Keywords | US; USA; UNITED STATES; TERRITORIES | | Content Language(s) | English | | Web Address (URL) | http://tidesonline.nos.noaa.gov/ | |
