Introduction

We envision that nowcast-forecast systems (NFS) will, over the next decade, become essential supporting tools for multi-purpose management, engineering and research in coastal and estuarine systems. However, coastal and estuarine NFS must first address a wide range of scientific, logistical and socio-economic challenges.

This paper provides an overview of the pilot nowcast-forecast system CORIE, its emerging applications and lessons learned. The development of CORIE was initiated in June 1996. While its region of application is the Columbia River estuary and vicinity, many of the CORIE challenges are emblematic of those of NFS for other large, active coastal waterways.
