Physical and meteorological data collected from non-federal stations assembled by the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA)
This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from non-Federal stations throughout the Southeast region of the United States, from the eastern side of Gulf of Mexico to South Atlantic Bight. The data is predominantly long time series at fixed moorings and buoys with a variety of instruments including CTDs, fluorometers, oxygen sensors, optical turbidity sensors, pH sensors, meteorological sensors, and water quality sensors. The data files are in netCDF format, following the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA), which assembles data from sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program.

| Supplemental Information | The IOOS vocabulary of oceanographic and meteorological parameters is at http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/parameter. The mapping of this vocabulary to the CF standard names vocabulary is at http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/map_ioos_cf. The netCDF data files in this dataset use both vocabularies. |
| Purpose | This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. |
