Aloha Silver Spring!

USGS Woods Hole Science Center legacy data attached for adding to the
NODC Accessions.

---------------------------------------------

Working with Ellyn Montgomery, USGS Woods Hole Data Manager, this is one
element of the USGS inventory of archived time series data. Data is
provided in the basic sample interval and hourly averaged. Variables
include, among others, currents, temperature, pressure, conductivity,
light transmission (beam attenuation), etc. Time range of the complete
series is 1975 - present.

I have placed the files Western_Mass_Bay.zip on the anonymous FTP site
Liaison directory for your retrieval
(ftp://ftp.nodc.noaa.gov/pub/incoming/liaison/). The zip files include
the complete datasets and supporting metadata / associated files for
field activities from the CIRCULATION AND SEDIMENT TRANSPORT IN THE
HUDSON SHELF VALLEY Field Program, carried out to understand the
transport of sediments and associated contaminants in the Hudson Shelf
Valley, offshore of New York. The valley is a sink and potential conduit
for the movement of sediments and associated contaminants across the
shelf. A winter experiment (2000-2001) investigated the role of winter
storms in transporting sediments in the valley. A spring experiment
(2006) explored transport during the period of spring runoff from the
Hudson River. The spring experiment was carried out in cooperation with
LaTTE (Lagrangian Transport and Tracer Experiment).

Data includes basic sampling interval and hourly averaged data, Field
Activity Reports, trip maps (.kml), metadata files, ship photos, cruise
reports, and Google Earth KML files. Data submission POC is Scott
Mowery, NCDDC Northeast Regional Science Officer.

Original data from each cruise is stored in _Net_work _C_ommon _D_ata
Format (netCDF) files using the EPIC (_E_quatorial _P_acific
_I_nformation _C_ollection) conventions defined by the NOAA Pacific
Marine Environmental Laboratory. NOAA data submission POC is Scott
Mowery, NCDDC Northeast Regional Science Officer, (240)676-3619, 672
Independence Pkwy, Chesapeake, VA (scott.mowery@noaa.gov). USGS data
provider POC is Ellyn Montgomery, Oceanographer and Data Manager, U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS), Tel. (508)457-2356, Woods Hole Science Center,
384 Woods Hole Rd., Quissett Campus, Woods Hole, MA 02543-1598
