Technical Reports & Publications

The Coast Survey Development Laboratory (CSDL) issues a number of technical reports and publications. The technical reports are issued in three different series: NOAA Technical Reports, NOAA Technical Memorandums, and CSDL Informal Technical Notes. In addition, CSDL contributes a number of other publications, including Peer-reviewed Journal Articles, Book Chapters, and Conference Proceedings.

The tables below provide a list of the different report series and publications. You may download digital copies of the technical reports by linking to the titles.

A note regarding the three technical report series: The three series differ in the scope and completeness of their content and coverage of a project. The Technical Report series aims at reporting finalized work from a complete project perspective. The Technical Memorandum series focuses on reporting partial accomplishments of a project. The Informal Technical Note series reports topics of interest primarily to scientists in the originating divisions and usually undergoes less formal review than the reports and memorandums.
