Bathythermograph (XBT) data from CHICAGO in the South China Sea from 1972-03-02 to 1972-03-22 (NCEI Accession 7200432)

This dataset includes bathythermograph (XBT) data from CHICAGO in the South China Sea from 1972-03-02 to 1972-03-22.

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.

CTD data collected as part of the resolution of the throughflow transport and velocity field across the central passages of the Indonesian Seas from 1998-02-19 to 1998-03-05 (NCEI Accession 0000074)

Arlindo is an acronym for Arus Lintas Indonesia, meaning 'Indonesian throughflow' in Bahasa Indonesia. The Arlindo program is a joint oceanographic research endeavor of Indonesia and the United States, designed to study the circulation and mixing of waters within the Indonesian seas. The field phase of Arlindo began in 1993 with Arlindo Mixing after many years of developing the necessary relationships and procedures with Indonesian scientists and government agencies.

Inter-ocean transport within the Indonesian Seas is the primary means of exporting excess freshwater from the North Pacific Ocean. The efficiency of this transfer dictates to a large measure the meridional overturning of the Pacific and Indian Oceans and perhaps of the global thermohaline "conveyor belt" circulation. The Indonesian throughflow is relevant to ENSO as it allows "seepage" of the western Pacific's warm pool water into the Indian Ocean, adjusting the volume of the warm pool. Furthermore the regionally intense tidal induced mixing may govern to some extent the SST and sea-air coupling, with feedback on ENSO. These mixing processes enhance buoyancy fluxes, inducing locally strong upwelling and influencing the circulation pattern.

Arlindo Goal: to resolve the circulation and water mass stratification within the Indonesian Seas in order to formulate a thorough description of the source, spreading patterns, inter-ocean transport and dominant mixing processes within the Indonesian Seas. Such products are used for the development of regional and global ocean circulation models; large scale coupled ocean/atmosphere models sufficient for prediction of climate and global change; understanding of the environmental conditions within the Indonesian Seas and improved understanding of the factors that affect primary productivity within Indonesian waters.

Arlindo Objectives: The specific objectives of Arlindo are incorporated in each of its three phases:

    Arlindo Mixing (Aug 1993 and Feb 1994): to identify the source and pathways of the throughflow and to define the mixing enroute, for both monsoons.

    Arlindo Circulation (20 Nov-15 Dec 1996 and 17 Feb-7 Mar 1998): to resolve the throughflow transport and velocity field across the central passages of the Indonesian Seas; extend the Arlindo 1993/94 CTD/CFC coverage both temporally, to 1996/97 and regionally, to the eastern Banda Sea.

    Arlindo Monitoring (1998 to 2007): provide a long term data set of the throughflow to enable study at time scales of ENSO events.

National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Orthorectified mosaic images of a coral reef in Brewers Bay, St. Thomas USVI collected on 2023-07-26 (NCEI Accession 0300357)

This data set contains landscape mosaic images, created as a product for the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Programâs (CRCP) National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). Orthorectified mosaic images of six reef plots were captured of a coral reef in  East Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Each reef plot is made up of a 10m x 10m transect area (100 m2). Landscape mosaics are a composite of many underwater images stitched together. These mosaics have the clarity and pixel size of the individual pictures but collectively produce a âlandscape viewâ of the coral reef community within each transect. A scuba diver holds the mosaic rig, containing two separate cameras, above the transect while swimming in a lawnmower pattern creating a crosshatching design. The diver takes these underwater images about one to two meters above the seabed at a rate of one image per second per camera. This swimming technique allows the mosaic rig to gather 1500-3000 images which are then merged into a single âlandscape mosaic imageâ file via Agisoft PhotoscanÂ® software. A total of six TIFF (.tif) files are included in this dataset, one TIFF file corresponds to one reef transect plot area.

Eastward and northward components of ocean current and water temperature collected from moorings in the North East Pacific Coast from 1982-06-13 to 1982-06-23 (NCEI Accession 0164195)

The University of Washington maintained 6 current meter moorings, UPII-1, UPII-1 surface (UPII-1S), UPII-2, UPII-3, UPII-3 surface (UPII-3S), and UPII-5, from June 12, 1982 through June 23, 1982 off the Washington coast. Current meters were a mix of Aanderaa (AA) and Vector Measuring Current Meter (VMCM) instruments. The AA meters measured speed, direction and temperature with a sample interval of 10 minutes. Speed and direction were independently filtered with a 9 point binomial filter spanning approximately 1.5 hours then resolved into u and v components. The VMCM data was sampled in 4 minute intervals. The u, v, and temperature time series data were edited for spurious values. Both the AA and VMCM edited data (u, v components and temperature) were filtered with a half power point of approximately 2.5 hours and interpolated to even hours to produce the hourly data. Results from this project can be found in: Hickey, B.M. (1989) Patterns and Processes of Circulation Over the Washington Continental Shelf and Slope. In: Landry, M.R. and B.M.
