Title: Ship data collected along the track during R/V Oceanus cruises OC296, OC301, and OC303 in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank as part of the U.S. GLOBEC program in 1997 (GB project) (NCEI Accession 0098912)
Abstract: This dataset contains meteorological, optical, and physical data collected on R/V Oceanus during cruises OC296, OC301, and OC303 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1997-01-01 to 1997-12-31. These data include SST at 5m, air temperature, barometric pressure, cond_mM, radiation_s, and sal_ss3. The instruments used to collect these data include Thermosalinograph. These data were collected by James P. Manning of Northeast Fisheries Science Center - Woods Hole as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank (GB)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-10-28.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Oceanus alongtrack ship data, GLOBEC Georges Bank cruises, 1997.

Dataset Description:
Oceanus Cruises: 296, 301 and 303
Shipboard meteorology and sea surface measurements
along the ship's track

Note:
I (Jim Manning) suggest that investigators use Dick Payne's version of OCEANUS alongtrack data. The raw data I post here was processed primarily while underway and has obvious problems. There are unrealistic (sometimes negative) temperature and eratic salinity. Winds are of especially poor quality as noted below.

I have been delayed in getting this data on-line because I am not happy with my "corrected" wind (with ships motion removed) and, I am still not comfortable with posting the corrected wind so I have added a comment on the fact that it is questionable. I have notified the OCEANUS SSSG people about this problem. In the meantime I suggest that any one interested in wind for these periods use the NOAA buoy winds or Dick Paynes OCEANUS alongtrack data instead.
