title: 10 Years of Quality Controlled Surface Weather Measurements from the NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Coastal Endurance Array

description: 10-minute and hourly measurements of surface weather observations collected by the OOI Coastal Endurance Array using the ASIMET meteorological sensor suite measuring (among other variables) the sea surface temperature, salinity and wind speed. This data has been re-processed from source data available on the OOI Gold Copy THREDDS catalog.

10-minute and hourly averaged datasets are created from the 1-minute data produced by the ASIMET system to create data records with automated and human-in-the-loop (HITL) quality control flags applied. In this version of the dataset (v1.0.0), only the sea surface temperature, salinity and wind speed data has been fully QC'd.

The wind records in these datasets are corrected for known underspeeding noted in the OOI Data Explorer annotations.  Based on comparisons to the OOI direct covariance flux wind measurements, the wind records presented in these datasets are adjusted upwards by a gain factor of 1.1236.

Note, the data record is gappy in time; if no data was available for any of the sensors, then that timestamp was not included.

Data is organized in both NetCDF and Zarr files (in Zarr ZipStores) per mooring location differentiated by the file contents:

In the 'per_deployment' files, data from overlapping deployments is made available for researchers wishing to assess the data on a per deployment basis. The deployment number is included in the data record and the data has been sorted by deployment number and then time. A potential downside to these files is the time record is not monotonic, which may cause some issues depending on how the data is analyzed. These files are only available in NetCDF format. For those wishing to work with monotonic time records, the overlapping deployment data has been averaged and the deployment variable has been dropped. These 'continuous' files are available in both NetCDF and Zarr format (as Zarr ZipStores).

The hourly, 'per_deployment' data files are used as part of the processing of the PCO2A data available in 10.5281/zenodo.17883448.
