NOAA high resolution sea surface winds data from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) on the Sentinel-1 satellites

This dataset consists of high resolution sea surface winds data produced from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) on board Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B satellites. The basic archive file is a netCDF-4 file containing SAR wind, land mask, and time and earth location information. Also included are maps of the SAR winds in GeoTIFF format. The product covers the geographic extent of the SAR image frame from which it was derived.

These SAR-derived high resolution wind products are calculated from high resolution SAR images of normalized radar cross section (NRCS) of the Earth's surface. Backscattered microwave radar returns from the ocean surface are strongly dependent on wind speed and direction. When no wind is present, the surface of the water is smooth, almost glass-like. Radar energy will largely be reflected away and the radar cross section will be low. As the wind begins to blow, the surface roughens and surface waves begin to develop. As the wind continues to blow more strongly, the amplitude of the wave increases, thus, roughening the surface more. As the surface roughness increases, more energy is backscattered and NRCS increases. Moreover, careful examination of the wind-generated waves reveals that these surface wave crests are generally aligned perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction, suggesting a dependence of backscatter on the relative direction between the incident radar energy and the wind direction.

Water temperature, salinity, and other parameters collected by CTD from research vessel Oceanus in the north Pacific Ocean off California from 2015-11-17 to 2015-11-20 (NCEI Accession 0234440)

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and other parameters collected by CTD from research vessel Oceanus in the north Pacific Ocean off California. Cruise OC1511A by research vessel Oceanus in November 2015 had the objective to service moorings for the CCE (California Current Ecosystem) project. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, CTD casts with water samples were done. The CTD data are reported here. The CTD data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. Data quality is acceptable, but affected by bad weather which led to unsteady motion of the instrument package through the water. The raw CTD data files are available through the Rolling Deck to Repository program (R2R, see references), and the water sample data will be published through the Ocean Carbon and Acidification Data Portal at NCEI. Data are in NetCDF.

Gulf of Mexico Coastal and Ocean Zones Strategic Assessment: Data Atlas 1985 (NCEI Accession 0126646)

The Atlas contains metadata and shape files of 18 different species in the Gulf of Mexico as of 1985. The shapefiles display the spatial and temporal distribution of 18 different species in the Gulf of Mexico as of 1985. The species shown include Brown Shrimp, Cobia, Dolphin, Gray Snapper, Greater Amberjack, King Mackerel, Lane Snapper, Pink Shrimp, Red Drum, Red Grouper, Red Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Spiny Lobster, Stone Crab, Tilefish, Vermilion Snapper, White Shrimp, and Yellowtail Snapper. Data fields include categories for adult, spawning, nursery, commercial fishing and recreational fishing. Data was derived from maps produced for the "Gulf of Mexico Coastal and Ocean Zones Strategic Assessment: Data Atlas" published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Strategic Environmental Assessment Division, Rockville, MD 1985. This coverage was developed as a part of the Gulf of Mexico Ecosystem Pilot Project. This pilot project was designed to improve identification and remote access to habitat data for fishery managers and researchers, and to provide habitat mapping capabilities within the Gulf of Mexico region. To reach this goal, a consortium built on shared expertise and resources from within National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), and state participants has focused on several tasks, including developing an inventory and clearinghouse for existing habitat-related data and information, continuing developing a searchable FGDC compliant habitat metadata catalog, developing remote internet gateways to life history, habitat, and ecological data sets, and producing geographic information system (GIS) products for habitat mapping.

Bathythermograph (XBT) data from SANDS in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1970-04-01 to 1970-05-24 (NCEI Accession 7000699)

This dataset includes bathythermograph (XBT) data from SANDS in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1970-04-01 to 1970-05-24.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) format.

The C116/C118 format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, the XBT data files contained temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB.

Biological, physical, and chemical data collected from inshore and shelf surface waters in Alabama from 2009-07 to 2011-12 (NCEI Accession 0117507)

Quantifying the linkages between primary production and higher trophic levels is necessary to understand why particular regions can support high fisheries production.  Modified dilution experiments were employed to characterize microbial communities in surface waters at four sites from within a bay to the shelf in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM).  Inshore surface waters were more variable than shelf surface waters due to the strong influence of river discharge.  Phytoplankton (Chl a) and prokaryote biomass were both significantly higher inshore than on the shelf, with phytoplankton significantly higher than prokaryotes inshore.  Virus and heterotrophic nanoflagellate abundances, however, did not differ between inshore and shelf waters.  Samples were amended with nutrients (N + P) to examine the impact of nutrient limitation.   Prokaryotes were nutrient limited in 14 (28%) of the experiments, while phytoplankton were nutrient limited in 26 (52%) of the experiments.  When phytoplankton were nutrient limited, prokaryote growth rates were significantly altered.  A similar impact on phytoplankton growth rates occurred when prokaryotes were nutrient limited, suggesting that the two groups are in competition for resources.  Grazing was detected in the majority of experiments, while viral lysis was only detected in 24% of phytoplankton and 12% of prokaryote experiments.  Growth and grazing rates for both phytoplankton and prokaryotes were tightly coupled inshore and on the shelf, with significantly more phytoplankton and prokaryotes grazed inshore (average = 106% and 75%, respectively) than on the shelf (average = 55% and 57%).  These findings indicate that surface waters across the estuary are highly productive, with microzooplankton grazing transferring the majority of the microbial production to higher trophic levels.

Physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic data collected for the ECOHAB (ECology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms) project from 1993 to 2006

This dataset includes physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic data including Karenia brevis counts, biochemistry, and behavior, chlorophyll, water temperature, salinity, fluorometry, dissolved oxygen, and other data from various ECOHAB cruises and experiments.

ECOHAB (ECology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms) is a scientific program designed to increase understanding of the fundamental processes underlying the impacts and population dynamics of HABs. This program addresses the many factors at organismal, population, community, and ecosystem levels that determine how HAB species respond to, and potentially alter their environment, the manner in which HAB species affect food-web and community interactions. The program is based on the results of a workshop co-sponsored by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Science Foundation (NSF) and currently receives funding from several federal partners including NOAA, NSF, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
