Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from station A01: South of Gloucester, MA, by University of Maine and assembled by the Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (NERACOOS) in the Gulf of Maine from 2001-07-10 to 2002-03-08 (NCEI Accession 0163363)

NCEI Accession 0163363 contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). University of Maine collected the data from their in-situ moored station named A01: South of Gloucester, MA, in the Gulf of Maine. NERACOOS, which assembles data from University of Maine and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program. Each month, NCEI adds to the Accession the data collected during the previous month.
