	abstract = {The highly biologically productive northern California Current, which includes the Oregon continental shelf, is an archetypal eastern boundary region with summertime upwelling driven by prevailing equatorward winds and wintertime downwelling driven by prevailing poleward winds. Between 1960 and 1990, monitoring programs and process studies conducted off the central Oregon coast advanced the understanding of many oceanographic processes, including coastal trapped waves, seasonal upwelling and downwelling in eastern boundary upwelling systems, and seasonal variability of coastal currents. Starting in 1997, the U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics {\textendash} Long Term Observational Program (GLOBEC-LTOP) continued those monitoring and process study efforts by conducting routine CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth) and biological sampling survey cruises along the Newport Hydrographic Line (NHL; 44.652{\textdegree}N, 124.1 {\textendash} 124.65{\textdegree}W), located west of Newport, Oregon. Additionally, GLOBEC-LTOP maintained a mooring slightly south of the NHL, nominally at 44.64{\textdegree}N, 124.30{\textdegree}W, on the 81-meter isobath. This location is referred to as NH-10, as it is located 10 nautical miles or 18.5 km west of Newport. A mooring was first deployed at NH-10 in August 1997. This subsurface mooring collected water column velocity data using an upward-looking acoustic Doppler current profiler. A second mooring with a surface expression was deployed at NH-10 starting in April 1999. This mooring included velocity, temperature and conductivity measurements throughout the water column as well as meteorological measurements. GLOBEC-LTOP and the Oregon State University (OSU) National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) provided funding for the NH-10 moorings from August 1997 to December 2004. Since June 2006, the NH-10 site has been occupied by a series of moorings operated and maintained by OSU with funding from the Oregon Coastal Ocean Observing System (OrCOOS), the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS), the Center for Coastal Margin Observation \& Prediction (CMOP), and most recently the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). While the objectives of these programs differed, each program contributed to long-term observing efforts with moorings routinely measuring meteorological and physical oceanographic variables. This article provides a brief description of each of the six programs, their associated moorings at NH-10, and our efforts to combine over twenty years of temperature, practical salinity, and velocity data into one coherent, hourly averaged, quality-controlled data set. Additionally, the data set includes best-fit seasonal cycles calculated at a daily temporal resolution for each variable using harmonic analysis with a three-harmonic fit to the observations. The stitched together, hourly NH-10 time series and seasonal cycles are available via Zenodo at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7582475.},

	abstract = {Ocean surface winds, currents, and waves play a crucial role in exchanges of momentum, energy, heat, freshwater, gases, and other tracers between the ocean, atmosphere, and ice. Despite surface waves being strongly coupled to the upper ocean circulation and the overlying atmosphere, efforts to improve ocean, atmospheric, and wave observations and models have evolved somewhat independently. From an observational point of view, community efforts to bridge this gap have led to proposals for satellite Doppler oceanography mission concepts, which could provide unprecedented measurements of absolute surface velocity and directional wave spectrum at global scales. This paper reviews the present state of observations of surface winds, currents, and waves, and it outlines observational gaps that limit our current understanding of coupled processes that happen at the air-sea-ice interface. A significant challenge for the coming decade of wind, current, and wave observations will come in combining and interpreting measurements from (a) wave-buoys and high-frequency radars in coastal regions, (b) surface drifters and wave-enabled drifters in the open-ocean, marginal ice zones, and wave-current interaction {\textquotedblleft}hot-spots,{\textquotedblright} and (c) simultaneous measurements of absolute surface currents, ocean surface wind vector, and directional wave spectrum from Doppler satellite sensors.},
