Nearshore Sediment and Water data for the Deepwater Horizon Response and Assessment in the Gulf of Mexico, dating from 2010-06-21 to 2011-03-24

These Nearshore Sediment and Water data were gathered and utilized during the Response and Assessment phases of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. These data are for the soil near the shore and the invertebrates that live in the waters from the low-tide line to the edge of the continental shelf at a depth of 656 feet. It includes discrete samples, field observations, field photographs and related files originating from the Nearshore Sediment and Associated Resources Technical Working Group (TWG). The data were compiled by the NOAA Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) and Trustees in the Data Integration, Visualization, Exploration, and Reporting (DIVER) data warehouse prior to being archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). The collection of files include environmental data used to determine the extent and magnitude of injury to the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. These data were used as part of the Programmatic Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan (PDARP) developed through the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) conducted as a result of the April 20, 2010 explosion and subsequent sinking of the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, about 40 miles (60 km) southeast off the Louisiana coast, that led to a major oil spill in the region.

Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) Filtered Spectral Radiance Files

This dataset contains the Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) filtered spectral radiance files. These are TXT ASCII files. The dataset contains hyper spectral Lw, Lwn, and Es data and modeled Kl Lw and Lwn data. If there is a special Lw product, due to some issue with the specific deployment, then there is an additional file for that day with the Lw and Es for that product.

For example, for deployment M276 there is an Lw10 file.  In general, there will be a Lw1 (using Lu(1m) measurement, and Lu(1m) and Lu(5m) to derive KL to propagate Lu(1m) to the surface.  Similarly, there will be an Lw2 which uses the pair of Lu(1m) and Lu(9m) to derive Lw, and an Lw7 which uses the pair of Lu(5m) and LU(9m) to derive Lw.

The time period covered by the MOBY filtered spectral radiance dataset begins at 1997-07-29. The project is ongoing and continuous. More data is added as updates to the data record become available.  

MOBY is an autonomous radiometric buoy stationed in the waters off Lanai, Hawaii. MOBY has been the primary in-water oceanic observatory for the vicarious calibration of U. S. satellite ocean color sensors since 1997. The MOBY project data set has been evaluated by NOAA, NASA, and NIST for its accuracy and precision numerous times since 1997. The MOBY measurements are calibrated with SI standards every per and post deployments to ensure the data sets continue to provide accurate and precise data. The satellite ocean color vicarious calibration community uses the data to validate the satellite measured radiance. 

MOBY was designed to measure sunlight incidents both on and scattered out of the ocean. These measurements are provided in near real-time for the vicarious calibration procedures conducted by ocean color scientists. It is a NOAA-funded project that provides for the vicarious calibration of ocean color satellites such as SeaWiFS and MODIS. Currently, MOBY provides data to JPSS VIIRS and to non-NOAA agency partners, including Copernicus Sentinel 3A and 3B.

Regional Hydrodynamic Model Outputs of the NOAA Northeast Gulf of America Operational Forecast System (NEGOFS)

NCEI manages the long-term archive of model output files for the hydrodynamic model-based Operation Forecast Systems (OFS) developed and implemented by the National Ocean Service (NOS) to support navigation in U.S. waters. This system is a national network of hydrodynamic models that provides operational nowcast and forecast guidance (out to 48 hours) on parameters such as water levels, water temperature, salinity, and currents. OFS runs on NOAA's High Performance Computing Systems (HPCS) in a standard Coastal Ocean Modeling Framework (COMF) developed by The Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS).

The Northern Gulf of America Operational Forecast System (NGOFS) was implemented by NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) to provide the maritime user community with short-term predictions of water levels, water currents, water temperatures and salinity of the northern Gulf of America. NGOFS used a numerical hydrodynamic model to generate the nowcast and forecast information; therefore, they should be considered as model-generated nowcast and forecast guidance.

NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) upgraded the previous Northern Gulf of America Operational Forecast System (NGOFS, NEGOFS, and NWGOFS) to the new Northern Gulf of America Operational Forecast System (NGOFS2) which extended the model domain to cover Lower Mississippi River, Barataria Bay, Lake Pontchartrain, Corpus Christi Bay, and Mexican coastal water without sacrificing model resolutions.

NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 0 Data

This data collection consists of archived Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 0 data from the GOES-East and GOES-West satellites in the operational (OPS) and the post-launch test (PLT) phases. The GOES-R Series provides continuity of the GOES mission through 2035 and improvements in geostationary satellite observational data. GOES-16, the first GOES-R satellite, began operating as GOES-East on December 18, 2017. GOES-17 began operating as GOES-West on February 12, 2019. GOES-T launched on March 1, 2022, and was renamed to GOES-18 on March 14, 2022. GOES-U, the final satellite in the series, is scheduled to launch in 2024. ABI is a multi-channel passive imaging radiometer observing the Western Hemisphere. The ABI Level 0 data are composed of Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) packets containing the science, housekeeping, engineering, and diagnostic telemetry data downlinked from the instrument. The Level 0 data files also contain orbit and attitude/angular rate packets generated by the GOES spacecraft. Each CCSDS packet contains a unique Application Process Identifier (APID) in the primary header that identifies the specific type of packet, and is used to support interpretation of its contents. Users may refer to the GOES-R Series Product Definition and Usersâ Guide (PUG) Volume 1 (Main) and Volume 2 (Level 0 Products) for Level 0 data documentation. Related instrument calibration data and Level 1b processing information are archived and available for order at the NOAA CLASS website. The ABI Level 0 data files are delivered in a netCDF-4 file format, however, the constituent CCSDS packets are stored in a byte array making the data opaque for standard netCDF reader applications. The ABI Level 0 data files are packaged in hourly tar files (data bundles) by satellite for the archive. Recently ingested archive tar files are available for 14 days on an anonymous FTP server for users to download. Data archived on offline tape may be requested from NCEI.

Western Pacific Typhoon Aircraft Fixes

Western Pacific typhoon aircraft reconnaissance data from the years 1946 - 1965 and 1978, excluding 1952, were transcribed from original documents, or copy of original documents, into a spreadsheet. Microfilm and paper documents were inspected for reconnaissance aircraft fixes and other data collected during flight. Data was collected from reports such as, tropical cyclone consolidated reports, annual typhoon reports, storm summary and life history of the typhoon reports, and aircraft weather code charts. Unfortunately, data for the year of 1952 could not be found, data for the year of 1955 is very limited, and data for the year of 1978 was incomplete in its digitized format. This dataset is a compilation of datasets that are present in paper and microfilm format located at Asheville's National Climatic Data Center archive, but is not easily accessible to the public. Part of the dataset also exists, and is available to the public at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center website in a pdf format. However, those data are not available in a digitized format.
