Title: Underway meteorological and physical data collected by NOAA Ship KA'IMIMOANA in the East Pacific from 2005-04-06 to 2005-05-11 (NCEI Accession 0002240)
Abstract: This dataset contains real-time underway meteorological and physical data logged by the Scientific Computer System (SCS) aboard NOAA Ship Ka'imimoana in the South Pacific Ocean, Northeast Pacific Ocean (limit-180), Southeast Pacific Ocean (limit-140 W), and North Pacific Ocean from 2005-04-06 to 2005-05-11. Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) personnel aboard the ship submitted these data and associated metadata to the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). As part of the NOAA Shipboard Sensor Data Acquisition (NSSDAC) project, OMAO submits a standard suite of underway oceanographic and meteorological data collected during each cruise of a NOAA ship with SCS.
