Description
Benthic habitats of the moderate-depth marine environment in and around the Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument were mapped using a combination of semi-automated classification and visual interpretation of acoustic imagery. The objective of this effort, conducted by NOAA's Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment - Biogeography Branch in partnership with the U.S. National Park Service (NPS), was to provide spatially-explicit information on the moderate-depth habitat types, biological cover and live coral cover south of St. John. The data contained in this shapefile denote the position of the drop camera as it drifted over 117 ground validation (GV) sites explored by NOAA field scientists to further refine habitat map classification. Considering vessel drift during habitat characterization, the entire evaluation period was most accurately represented by a series of GPS points logged at five-second intervals.

Description
MODIS (or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument aboard the Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) satellites. Terra's orbit around the Earth is timed so that it passes from north to south across the equator in the morning, while Aqua passes south to north over the equator in the afternoon. Terra MODIS and Aqua MODIS are viewing the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths (see MODIS Technical Specifications). These data will improve our understanding of global dynamics and processes occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere. MODIS is playing a vital role in the development of validated, global, interactive Earth system models able to predict global change accurately enough to assist policy makers in making sound decisions concerning the protection of our environment.

Summary
Description
BPI Structures are derived from two scales of a focal mean analysis on bathymetry and slope. The grid is based on gridded (10 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry collected aboard NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai and R/V AHI, and it was created using the Benthic Terrain Modeler (http://www.csc.noaa.gov/products/btm/). Cell values represent one of 14 classes in an index of seafloor terrains. This data set is for the shelf and slope environments of Asuncion Island. As part of the northern islands of the Mariana Islands archipelago, Asuncion's offshore terrain has a shelf (above -60m) and a deep shelf (below -60m) that are both present off the southwest side of the island. Conversely, the southern islands each have a shelf (above -100m) with escarpments that lead to broad flat areas without forming a deeper shelf.

Output fields from the NOAA WAVEWATCH III® wave model monthly hindcasts for 2011-07 (NODC Accession 0089885)
Published By National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce
Issued almost 10 years ago
Summary
Description
The NOAA WAVEWATCH III® hindcast dataset comprises output fields from the monthly WAVEWATCH III® hindcast model runs conducted at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction. Each model run produces a collection of files containing gridded fields comprised of input and mean wave parameters such as the significant wave height, directions, frequencies etc. Once per month, a wave simulation is carried out using restart files from the previous month and forced by hindcast wind products for the entire month. The resulting output data are transferred to NODC on a monthly basis. NODC assembles the series of files into monthly accessions to facilitate archival retention and public access. The fields are encoded in the standard GRIdded Binary version 2 (GRIB2) file format. Wave spectral data summaries are included, as well as detailed spectra at selected locations, in tabular text format. Nine different sets of output fields, corresponding to nine different grids used in the numerical simulations, are included. These include a global grid, as well as regional and coastal grids covering much of the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans.

FUNCTION: Supports the measurement of phase and amplitude pattern characteristics of devices under test (DUT) over a frequency range of 2.0 to 110.0 GHz in a controlled environment. The facility also provides the capability for radar cross section (RCS) measurements over the same frequency range. DESCRIPTION: The facility is an anechoic chamber that is designed to operate in conjunction with a Scientific Atlanta Compact Range Model 5751 with millimeterwave (MMW) reflector. The Compact Antenna Range Facility consists of a shielded anechoic chamber (18 ft high × 22 ft wide × 40 ft long) and a geometry that enables farfield radiation patterns to be taken in a small space. Illumination of the MMW reflector at one end of the chamber provides a cylindrical quiet zone (4 ft diameter × 6 ft long) in which all the radiation patterns are measured. The quiet zone is specified to provide at least 45 dB of background noise isolation from 2.0 to 8.0 GHz and at least 50 dB from 8.0 to 94.0 GHz. The amplitude taper is specified to be no more than 0.5 dB over the quiet zone, with a corresponding specification of no more than 10° phase taper. Test antennas or subsystems are positioned by attaching them to an azimuthover-elevation mount. Further degrees of freedom (DOF) are allowed with the mounting point being on a roll axis and the entire positioner on a slide axis. A second roll axis is provided for source illumination and enables the source polarization to be quickly rotated. INSTRUMENTATION: The Compact Antenna Range Facility uses a complete complement of microwave laboratory instrumentation, including network analyzers, microwave receivers, spectrum analyzers, frequency counters, power meters, function generators, and microwave synthesizers. Antenna and RCS measurements are made using a Hewlett-Packard 8530 microwave receiver coupled with Orbit/Flam & Russell 959 Plus Antenna and RCS Measurement software. RCS measurements are visualized and analyzed using KNOWBELL software from Aeroflex Inc. Four simultaneous channel measurements can be made to characterize an antenna or the RCS of a target from 2.0 to 110 GHz. Broadband, dual-polarized source antennas are available from 2.0 to 26.0 GHz. A high-speed source switch coupled with a 16-channel switch matrix supports 32-channel dual-polarized measurements from 2.0 to 26.0 GHz or 16-channel single-polarized measurements from 2.0 to 50.0 GHz.

Description
This data set contains a series of land surface parameters simulated from the Noah 2.7.1 model in the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS). The data are in 1.0 degree resolution and range from 1979 to the present. The temporal resolution is monthly. This simulation was forced by combination of NOAA/GDAS atmospheric analysis fields, spatially and temporally disaggregated NOAA Climate Prediction Center Merged Analysis of Precipitation (CMAP) fields, and observation based downward shortwave and longwave radiation fields derived using the method of the Air Force Weather Agency's AGRicultural METeorological modeling system (AGRMET). The simulation was initialized on 1 January 1979 using soil moisture and other state fields from a GLDAS/Noah model climatology for that day of the year. WGRIB or other GRIB reader is required to read the files. The data set applies a user-defined parameter table to indicate the contents and parameter number. The GRIBTAB file (http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/hydrology/grib_tabs/gribtab_GLDAS_MOS.txt) shows a list of parameters for this data set, along with their Product Definition Section (PDS) IDs and units.
