Ship data collected along the track during Albatross IV broadscale cruises to the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank in the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank project from 1995-1999 (GB project) (NCEI Accession 0099171)
This dataset contains meteorological and physical data collected on R/V Albatross IV during cruises AL9505, AL9508, AL9607, AL9701, AL9705, AL9707, AL9801, AL9805, AL9808, AL9901, and AL9906 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-05-09 to 1995-06-24. These data include SST at 5m, air temperature, and salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors. The instruments used to collect these data include Thermosalinograph. These data were collected by James P. Manning of Northeast Fisheries Science Center - Woods Hole as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank (GB)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-02-27.

Alongtrack ship data for Albatross IV GLOBEC Georges Bank cruises, 1995-1999
Dataset Description: R/V Albatross Globec broadscale cruises 1995-1999, shipboard meteorology and sea surface measurements along the ship's track

These data are accessed under the GLOBEC homepage Georges Bank data broadscale alongtrack or homepage Georges Bank data broadscale {year} alongtrack or homepage Georges Bank data process alongtrack or homepage Georges Bank data process {year} alongtrack. These are single ascii files per cruise with several variables merged to one minute (interpolated) time steps. The user should be aware of the availability of the unmerged "raw" data if they want the actual data which, for some sensors/variables, was recorded as frequent as every 5 seconds and by more than one instrument. Contact Jim Manning for access to these data. The first column is the time stamp which, for Albatross convention, is "yrday1_local" which means, for example, that a time of "1.5" represents local noontime on Jan 1st. Note that the Albatross yearday convention changed to GMT after year 2000, so the user must pay attention to the time stamp in future cruises. I have been processing Albatross and Delaware alongtrack data on an "as requested" basis so just let me know when you want a particular cruise that is not already posted. More recent (post GLOBEC) data are being stored in as ORACLE database and served via OPeNDAP as documented. We all understand this data (shipboard temp, salt, wind, etc.) should be treated as uncalibrated records and should not be used for other than exploratory purposes.
