Description

This data set contains human-use resource data for access, airports, archaeological sites, artificial reefs, boat ramps, camping sites, Coast Guard stations, ferries, historical sites, marinas, NPS ranger stations, recreational beaches, and recreational fishing in Mississippi. Vector points and lines in this data set represent human-use site locations. Location specific type and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer.This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Mississippi. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the MGT data layer, part of the larger Mississippi ESI database, for additional human-use information.

Description

This data set contains ortho-rectified mosaic tiles, created as a product from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative. The source imagery was acquired on 20121113. The images were acquired with an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). The original images were acquired at a higher resolution than the final ortho-rectified mosaic.

NODC Accession 0131763 includes physical and underway data collected aboard the MELVILLE during cruise MV1010 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2010-08-14 to 2010-08-27. These data include CURRENT SPEED - EAST/WEST COMPONENT (U) and CURRENT SPEED - NORTH/SOUTH COMPONENT (V). The instruments used to collect these data include ADCP and GPS. These data were collected by Monica Kohler of University of California - Los Angeles, and by University of California - San Diego; Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of 3D Seismic Study of the Pacific-North American Plate Boundary in Southern California. The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) submitted these data to NODC as part of the NSF sponsored Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program. The ADCP data represent the raw and automated processed data set. Post processed quality assessed data are not available in this accession.

Description

Temperature profile data were collected from surface sensors and CTD casts in the Gulf of Alaska from the NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 16 April 1977 to 03 June 1977. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F022 High-Resolution CTD/STD Output Format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f022.html. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments.

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.

The CSIR-SOCCO Southern Ocean Seasonal Cycle Experiment (SOSCEx) was planned around five cruises to the SAZ between the austral winter of 2012 and the late summer of 2013. Two autonomous Seagliders (SG574 and SG573) were deployed south of Gough Island in the South-East Atlantic Ocean at 42.4°S, 9.9°W and 43.0°S, 11°W, respectively. Their deployment occurred in the central SAZ region of the Southern Ocean. The gliders were deployed on 20 September 2012 and 25 September 2012, respectively and both were retrieved on 15 February 2013 resulting in continuous sampling for 148 and 143 days (or 5.5 months) per glider. ------ data from SG573 -> acc. # 0131501 ------

Description

The AVHRR Pathfinder Version 5.3 Sea Surface Temperature data set (PFV53) is a collection of global, twice-daily (Day and Night) 4km sea surface temperature (SST) data produced by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). PFV53 was computed with data from the AVHRR instruments on board NOAA's polar orbiting satellite series using an entirely modernized system based on SeaDAS (version 6.4). This system incorporates several key changes from its predecessors (mainly version 5.2: PFV52). These changes include the following: 1. SSTs are now available for all quality levels, including quality of 0 which was left out of PFV52 due to a memory issue in the version 5.2 code. 2. Sun glint regions are better included in the data. 3. Cloud tree tests for NOAA-7 and NOAA-19 are consistent now with the rest of the sensors in contrast to PFV52 where they were inconsistent. 4. PFV53 also includes L2P (Level 2 Pre-processed) and L3U (Level 3 Uncollated) product levels for the very first time. All previous versions of Pathfinder only included L3C products. These L2P and L3U are archived in a separate set of accessions. 5. PFV53 L2P and L3U include the sst_dtime variable; However, it is still not included in L3C (it was not included in PFV52 either). 6. The global and variables attributes in netCDF files are revised, have better CF and ACDD compliance, and are consistent with the NCEI netCDF templates. 7. Anomalous hot-spots at land-water boundaries are better identified and flagged in PFV53. 8. The PFV53 land mask has been updated (based on Global Lakes and Wetlands Database: Lakes and Wetlands Grid Level 3, 2015). 9. Sea ice data over the Antarctic ice shelves are marked as ice and flagged as 100% ice cover. 10. The PFV53 output are netCDF version 4 in "classic" mode. In PFV52 the netCDF-4 files were not explicitly identified as "classic". Importantly, PFV53 data are provided in netCDF-4 (classic model, with internal compression and chunking) and are nearly 100% compliant with the GHRSST Data Specification Version 2.0 (GDS2.0 revision 5) for L3C products. Note that, however these data are nearly GDS2.0 compliant, the three variables sses_bias, sses_standard_deviation, and sst_dtime are still empty. PFV53 data were collected through the operational periods of the NOAA-7 through NOAA-19 Polar Operational Environmental Satellites (POES), and are available for 1981 through 2013. Data for all these years are available as multiple NCEI accessions.

Description

Bathythermograph data were collected from the YAKUTAT within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station C (5245N 0350W) and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 05 August 1965 to 30 August 1965. The platform was equipped and staffed to observe weather and sea conditions. 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 file format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using the mechanical bathythermograph (MBT) instrument. The maximum depth of MBT observations is approximately 285 m. Therefore, MBT data are useful only in studying the thermal structure of the upper layers of the ocean. Cruise information, date, position, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Temperature data in this file are recorded at uniform 5 m depth intervals.
