| Title: |
Physical, meteorological, and oceanographic data collected from the Saildrone 1005 deployment as part of the NOAA/PMEL TPOS 2017 Mission to the Eastern and Central Equatorial Pacific Ocean from 2017-09-02 to 2018-05-15 (NCEI Accession 0294973) |
| Abstract: |
This dataset contains the real time underway near-surface oceanic and atmospheric data from the Saildrone 1005 core sensors for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2017 Mission (Mission 1) to the eastern tropical Pacific (10N, 125W and 0, 125W). These data have not been Quality Control (QC). This was the first of three missions funded by NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)/CPO/GOMO and NOAA/OMAO as a pilot study for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)-2020 project. The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Joint Institute for the Study of Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO)), Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA PMEL), and Mr. Christian Meinig (NOAA PMEL). Mr. Nathan Anderson contributed to the metadata creation. The PMEL TPOS 2017 Mission (aka Mission 1) had two Gen-4 Saildrones, each with a full atmospheric and ocean core sensor suite, an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), and an ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system. The two drones were deployed out of Alameda, CA on September 1, 2017 for a mission in the equatorial Pacific. After sailing near the CCE1 mooring off coastal California, the drones proceeded to the area near 10N, 125W. They remained in the area from October 18 - November 13, 2017 to participate in the Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study (SPURS)-2 field study, which included side-by-side data acquisition with a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) buoy, and the R/V REVELLE. When SPURS-2 ended, the drones sailed south on either side of 125W, stopping for comparisons against Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) moorings at 8N, 5N, and 2N. After crossing the equator, the drones returned to California. SD-1005 was recovered in San Luis Obispo Bay on May 6, 2018. Accompanying SD-1006 was recovered from San Francisco Bay on May 18, 2018. Data are in NetCDF. |
