This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from non-Federal stations throughout the Great Lakes region of the United States. The data is predominantly long time series at fixed moorings and buoys with a variety of instruments including CTDs, fluorometers, oxygen sensors, optical turbidity sensors, pH sensors, meteorological sensors, and water quality sensors. The data files are in netCDF format, following the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS), which assembles data from sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program.

This National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) archival information package (AIP) contains a product generated by NCEI-- the Global Ocean Currents Database (GOCD). It is derived from NCEI AIPs that hold in situ ocean current data from a diverse range of instruments, collection protocols, processing methods, and data storage formats. For acceptance into the GOCD, the data must have sufficient quality control and thorough documentation. The GODC merges the variety of original formats into the NCEI standard network common data form (NetCDF) format. From the shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler sets, the GOCD creates files that hold single vertical ocean currents profiles. The GOCD spans 1962 to 2013.

Through key regional collaborations with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Alaska Fisheries Science Center, and the fishing industry, the Marine Habitat Ecology Team at the NWFSC has been able to pursue a wide-ranging array of conservation engineering projects relevant to reducing bycatch in the west coast groundfish and ocean shrimp trawl...

To provide an improved oceanographic foundation and reference for multi-disciplinary studies of the Arctic Ocean, NODC developed a new set of high-resolution quality-controlled long-term annual, seasonal and monthly mean temperature and salinity fields on different depth levels. This new regional climatology is based on the World Ocean Database archive of temperature and salinity from observations spanning over more than a hundred years and incorporates a great deal of new data not previously available.

The Arctic Ocean Regional Climatology Atlas is available for viewing and data downloading at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/regional_climate/arctic/

Oceanographic data are derived from fixed CTD profiles, taken 2 times a month, from shallow water to depth of 1000 metres. Data are taken along fixed transects by Patrol vessels (weather permitting) which carry a simple CTD and a CTD plus dissolved oxigen, clorophyll through a fluometre. The fisheries department owns also CTD data from research cruises. Data can be provided according to the purpose of reuse.

This dataset contains oceanographic data collected from NOAA Ship OKEANOS EXPLORER in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2018-11-28 to 2018-12-16. Data acquisition from shipboard sensors includes navigational data, meteorological data (conductivity, depth, echo sounder, temperature, wind, wind speed), and oceanographic data (bathythermograph, salinity, sound velocity probe, thermosalinograph). Additional data include Profile Data (ASVP, CTD, and XBT) and Submersible Sensor Data (Vehicles).

This accession contains salinity/temperature/depth (STD) profiles and other hydrographic data, mostly in the Sea of Japan. More than a century of profile data from July 1870 to May 1989 were obtained by NODC from Igor Smolyar. Data was collected using 31 different Russian and/or Soviet ships along with few unidentified vessels by Russia, USSR. 71 data files were received by the NODC/Ocean Climate Laboratory as part of the Global Ocean Data Archeaology and Rescue project.

No digital format description is included with the originator data files. Undocumented FORTRAN code used by NODC/Ocean Climate Laboratory is included in the 0-data/software/ directory.

All records in "F12.2 format" containing 2,388 profiles were received by NODC from Daphne Johnson via File transfer Protocol.

Repeated oceanographic measurements in two Svalbard fjords: Hornsund (76°50’ - 77°10’N, 15-17°E) and Kongsfjorden (78°50’-79°05’N, 11-13°E) and adjacent shelf areas. Data collected from RV Oceania every summer along the standard sections under the IOPAN long-term monitoring program AREX and in Hornsund also from the small boat in spring and autumn (in some years). Duration: 1995 - ongoing.

These data have been mainly collected on ships of opportunity (VOS). IRD has conducted this VOS network. Some other data have been retriewed from the NODC atlas (1998 onward).

This data set is a backup of the 1986 tropical pacific subsurface (XBT/MBT) thermal data. The current direction, salinity and temperature for Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) were measured in this study. This data set format is a modified form of the NODC Universal Bathy Therm (UBT) format.

The survey consists of a series of transects that are oriented generally ea...

The Coral Reef Temperature Anomaly Database (CoRTAD) is a collection of sea surface temperature (SST) and related thermal stress metrics, developed specifically for coral reef ecosystem applications but relevant to other ecosystems as well. The CoRTAD Version 2 contains global, approximately 4 km resolution SST data on a weekly time scale from 1982 through 2009. It is related to the CoRTAD Version 2 (NODC Accession Number 0054501), but contains one additional year of data (2009). Version 2was created in 2009 with a few important updates to the CoRTAD Version 1 (NODC Accession Number 0044419). Whereas Version 1 covers the time period from 1985-2005, Version 2 contains 6 additional years of data, extending that period to 1982-2008. Also, whereas Version 1 is in HDF4 Scientific Data Set format, Version 2 is in HDF5 format

In addition to SST, the CoRTAD contains SST anomaly (SSTA, weekly SST minus weekly climatological SST), thermal stress anomaly (TSA, weekly SST minus the maximum weekly climatological SST), SSTA Degree Heating Week (SSTA_DHW, sum of previous 12 weeks when SSTA >= 1 degree C), SSTA Frequency (number of times over the previous 52 weeks that SSTA >= 1 degree C), TSA DHW (TSA_DHW, also known as Degree Heating Week, sum of previous 12 weeks when TSA >= 1 degree C), and TSA Frequency (number of times over previous 52 weeks that TSA >=1 degree C). The CoRTAD was created at the NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center in partnership with the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, with support from the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program.

The purpose of the CoRTAD is to provide sea surface temperature data and related thermal stress parameters with good temporal consistency, high accuracy, and fine spatial resolution. The CoRTAD is intended primarily for climate and ecosystem related applications and studies and was designed specifically to address questions concerning the relationship between coral disease and bleaching and temperature stress.

This dataset contains temperature and salinity profile, nutrients, primary productivity, meteorological, currents, and other data collected in coastal waters along the west coasts of North America, South America, and Africa, as part of International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Coastal Upwelling Ecosystems Analysis (IDOE/CUEA) from 05 March 1972 to 25 April 1978. Some data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Oceanographic Station Data (SD2), F015 Current Meter Components, and F022 High-Resolution CTD/STD Output formats. Analog data is available for some parts of this dataset.

This dataset contains oceanographic data collected from NOAA Ship OKEANOS EXPLORER in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2019-07-18 to 2019-08-01. Data acquisition from shipboard sensors includes navigational data, meteorological data (wind), and oceanographic data (bathythermograph, sound velocity probe, thermosalinograph). Additional data include Profile Data (ASVP, CTD, and XBT), raw and processed CTD data, event logs, images, and ROV ancillary data.

MBT data were collected from the USS ALACRITY and Other Platforms in support of the Fleet Observations of Oceanographic Data (FLOOD) project. Data were collected by US Navy; Ships of Opportunity and other institutions from 16 March 1961 to 05 February 1968. Platforms were equipped and staffed to observe weather and sea conditions. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html.

The UBT file format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using the mechanical bathythermograph (MBT) instrument. The maximum depth of MBT observations is approximately 285 m. Therefore, MBT data are useful only in studying the thermal structure of the upper layers of the ocean. Cruise information, date, position, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Temperature data in this file are recorded at uniform 5 m depth intervals.

Multibeam, single beam, and subbottom sonar data will be collected 24 hours a day. XBT casts will be conducted regularly for multibeam calibration. The ship's Scientific Computing System (SCS) will monitor and collect oceanographic, navigation, and meteorological data throughout the cruise.

These quality monitoring data for Pathfinder Version 5.2 (PFV5.2) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) are based on the concept of a Rich Inventory developed by the Enterprise Data Systems Group at the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). The principle concept of a Rich Inventory is to calculate statistics for selected parameters in each data file, store them in a database, and make them available to users and managers of the archive. In PFV5.2, one data file is generated every 12 hours, i.e., daily and nightly. The following statistics are calculated in this quality monitoring accession: valid observation number, number of the observations with value over 3 times the standard deviation, the observed minimum, maximum, mean and median of each image. The above statistics are calculated for several different domains, e. g., global, tropics, middle and latitudes, and also for 22.5x22.5 (lon/lat) degree "chunks". Visualizations of the quality monitoring data are accessible in NODC's Live Access Sever (LAS) at: http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/las. Select Datasets: Pathfinder 5.2 RI statistics.
