Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has the statutory mandate to collect hydrographic data in support of nautical chart compilation for safe navigation and to provide background data for engineers, scientific, and other commercial and industrial activities. Hydrographic survey data primarily consist of water depths, but may also include features (e.g. rocks, wrecks), navigation aids, shoreline identification, and bottom type information. NOAA is responsible for archiving and distributing the source data as described in this metadata record.

Description
This data set presents more than 400 sub-canopy digital thermograms collected at the Fraser Experimental Forest (Fraser, Colorado, USA) using an Infrared Solutions IR SnapShot™ thermoelectric thermal infrared (IR) imaging radiometer that was cold-weather modified. To view the data it is necessary to have the Infrared Solutions SnapView software, which is available from Infrared Solutions. The NASA Cold Land Processes Field Experiment (CLPX) is a multi-sensor, multi-scale experiment that focuses on extending a local-scale understanding of water fluxes, storage, and transformations to regional and global scales. Within a framework of nested study areas in the central Rocky Mountains of the western United States, ranging from 1 ha to 160,000 km2, intensive ground, airborne, and spaceborne observations are collected. Data collection focuses on two seasons: mid-winter, when conditions are generally frozen and dry, and early spring, a transitional period when both frozen and thawed, dry and wet conditions are widespread.

Description
The Version 003 of Aura-OMI Spectral Surface UVB Irradiance and Erythemal Dose Level-2G data product (Daily level-2 data binned into global 0.25 deg Lat/Lon grids) is now available ( http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/Aura/OMI/omuvbg_v003.shtml )from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) for the public access. (The shortname for this Level-2G OMI Surface UVB product is OMUVBG) The algorithm team consists of FMI scientists Drs. J. Hovila, A. Arola and J. Tamminen. The OMUVBG is a special Level-2 Global Gridded type data Product (referred as Level 2G or L2G) where Level-2 or swath pixel data are binned (but not averaged)into 0.25x0.25 degree global grids. It contains the data for all L2 scenes that have observation time between UTC times of 00:00:00 and 23:59:59.9999. All ancillary parameters such as Lat, Long, time, solar and viewing angles are also saved for each pixel. First two dimensions of each parameter correspond to spatial (Lat/Lon based) Grid ID and third dimension idenifies the pixel or observed scene (referred as 'candidates' ID). Scientist can apply data filtering scheme of their choice, average good quality pixels data in each grid and create their Level-3 products. The GES DISC developed interactive tool Giovanni(http://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov/) provides web based capabilities to browse and explore these data. OMUVBG files are available in EOS Hierarchical Data Format(HDF5-EOS). Each file contains daily data from the day lit portion of the globe. The maximum file size for the OMUVBG data product is about 128 MBytes. Parameter and spatial subsetting is available during the data download from the GES DISC data access system (http://mirador.gsfc.nasa.gov).

Temperature profiles from XBT casts from the MARINE EVANGELINE and other platforms as part of the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction (MARMAP) project from 25 March 1982 to 20 May 1982 (NODC Accession 8200105)

Summary
Description
Temperature profiles were collected from XBT casts from the MARINE EVANGELINE and other platforms from 25 March 1982 to 20 May 1982. Data were collected by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) as part of the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction (MARMAP) project. 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 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 records are comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. The XBT data files contain 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. Special instruments permitted measurements to be obtained to 1830 m.

Description
The SeaWiFS instrument was launched by Orbital Sciences Corporation on the OrbView-2 (a.k.a. SeaStar) satellite in August 1997, and collected data from September 1997 until the end of mission in December 2010. SeaWiFS had 8 spectral bands from 412 to 865 nm. It collected global data at 4 km resolution, and local data (limited onboard storage and direct broadcast) at 1 km. The mission and sensor were optimized for ocean color measurements, with a local noon (descending) equator crossing time orbit, fore-and-aft tilt capability, full dynamic range, and low polarization sensitivity.

Oceanographic station data from bottle casts from the INGHAM from Ocean Weather Station B (OWS-B) in the North Atlantic Ocean 14 June 1971 to 04 July 1971 (NODC Accession 7101390)

Summary
Description
Oceanographic station data were collected from the INGHAM within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station B (5630N 05100W) and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) from 14 June 1971 to 04 July 1971. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Station Data II Output Format (SD2). Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/sd2.html. The SD2 format contains physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Most of the observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. A small amount (about 5 percent) were obtained using electronic CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) or STD (salinity-temperature-depth) recorders. The CTD/STD data were reported to NODC at depth levels equivalent to Nansen cast data, however, and have been processed and stored the same as the Nansen data. Cruise information (e.g., ship, country, institution), position, date, and time, and reported for each station. The principal measured parameters and temperature and salinity , but dissolved oxygen, phosphate, total phosphorus, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, and pH may be reported. Meteorological conditions at the time of the cast (e.g., air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) may also be reported, as well as auxiliary data such as water color (Forel-Ule scale), water transparency (Secchi disk depth), and depth to bottom. Values of density (sigma-t) sound velocity, and dynamic depth anomaly are computed from measured parameters. Each station contains the measurements taken at the observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels.

The purpose of the Integrated Pest Management Plan is to provide a comprehensive, environmentally sensitive approach to managing pests on the Rainwater Basin WMD. The goals and objectives of the Integrated Pest Management Plan are 1 to develop and implement strategies to prevent invasion and establishment of aggressive nonnative plants and nonnative animal pests on the Refuge, and 2 to control and manage existing invasive, nonnative populations. This plan targets several invasive plant and animal species that have established populations on the Refuge.

Description
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is studying the feasibility of constructing a water control structure on the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. The structure would hold about six inches of water on the refuge for wildlife from October to March each year. This effort will help to determine any effects this water might have on existing utilities such as water supply wells, septic tanks and tile fields, and any underground utilities that may exist at present or be planned for the future.
