| Title: | Underway - surface and physical data collected in the North Atlantic Ocean on NOAA Ship ALBATROSS IV cruises AL9505, AL9508 and others as part of the GB project from 1995-05-09 to 1999-06-24 (NCEI Accession 0099171) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains physical and surface underway data collected on NOAA Ship Albatross IV in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-05-09 to 1999-06-24. The instruments used to collect these data include Thermosalinograph. These data were collected by James P. Manning of National Marine Fisheries Service as part of the GB project(s). The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2012-10-11. The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO: Alongtrack ship data for GLOBEC Georges Bank cruises, 1995-1999 collected from the R/V Albatross IV from the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank from May 9, 1995 to June 24, 1999 (GB project). R/V Albatross Globec broadscale cruises 1995-1999, shipboard meteorology and sea surface measurements along the ship's track Comments submitted by Jim Manning These data are accessed under the GLOBEC homepage-->Georges Bank data-->broadscale-->alongtrack or homepage-->Georges Bank data-->broadscale-->{year}-->alongtrack or homepage-->Georges Bank data-->process-->alongtrack or homepage-->Georges Bank data-->process-->{year}-->alongtrack. These are single ascii files per cruise with several variables merged to one minute (interpolated) time steps. The user should be aware of the availability of the unmerged "raw" data if they want the actual data which, for some sensors/variables, was recorded as frequent as every 5 seconds and by more than one instrument. Contact Jim Manning for access to thes data. The first column is the time stamp which, for Albatross convention, is "yrday1_local" which means, for example, that a time of "1.5" represents local noontime on Jan 1st. Note that the "Albatross yearday convention changed to GMT after year 2000, so the user must pay attention to the time stamp in future cruises. I have been processing Albatross and Delaware alongtrack data on an "as requested" basis so just let me know when you want a particular cruise that is not already posted. More recent (post GLOBEC) data are being stored in as ORACLE database and served via OpenDAP as documented elsewhere. (http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/epd/ocean/MainPage/AlongTrack.html) We all understand this data (shipboard temp, salt, wind, etc.) should be treated as uncalibrated records and should not be used for other than exploratory purposes.
