SAMOS project underway oceanographic and quality-controlled meteorological data collected aboard Sikuliaq from 2019-04-01 to 2019-04-30 (NCEI Accession 0188894)

Preview graphic

The data logging system on Sikuliaq recorded underway oceanographic and meteorological data from various instruments while cruising in the Columbia River estuary - Washington/Oregon and North Pacific Ocean from 2019-04-01 to 2019-04-30. 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 three versions of the data to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI): the original data e-mailed by the data logging system and first-level (automatically and merged) QCed data. This dataset contains all these data.
