The data logging system on the RONALD H. BROWN recorded underway oceanographic and meteorological data from various instruments while cruising in the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean from 2018-06-01 to 2018-06-30. During this period, as part of the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) project, the data logging system sent the data daily via e-mail to Florida State University (FSU), where the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) quality-controlled (QCed) the meteorological data. COAPS submitted four versions of the data to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI): the original data e-mailed by the data logging system, first-level (automatically and merged) QCed data, and second-level (visually) QCed data. NCEI Accession 0174565 contains all these data.
