September 12, 2019: As announced during today`s MAC Meeting, the Air Gap Sensor for the Delaware Memorial Bridge is now operational. The following link has now been posted to the MAC website under the NOAA PORTS banner on the right side of the web page.

On behalf of NOAA`s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, I am happy to share that the Delaware Memorial Bridge Air Gap station is now operational and part of Delaware River and Bay PORTS®.

The real time data can be found by accessing the following webpages.

NOAA/NOS/CO-OPS provides summaries detailing what the air gap sensors are reporting in our data products. Real-time air gap readings are a measurement from the surface of the water to a defined "air gap reference point" on the bridge. Attached, please find the memo providing detailed information about this particular sensor and mount.

I have included several other stakeholders on this email and ask for assistance from everyone in sharing this letter with individuals you feel will benefit from the information. That help would be much appreciated. Please let me know if there are other parties who should be added to future communications regarding air gap information/data.

If you have any questions about the memo or its contents, kindly let me know.

Thank you,
Chris DiVeglio on behalf of the NOAA PORTS® program.
