Summary
Description
Wind direction and other data were collected from fixed platforms in the Beaufort Sea from 15 July 1979 to 31 August 1979. Data were collected by the University of Washington (UW) as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F101 Ocean Wind Time Series from Buoys format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f101.html. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services. The F101 format is used for time-series measurements of wind and other surface meteorological parameters taken at fixed locations. The instrument arrays may be deployed on automated buoys, ships, or towers. Position, platform type and height, and instrument elevation are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) wind components at specified date and time. Wind values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at time intervals of 10-15 minutes. Air temperature, atmospheric pressure, and dewpoint temperature may also be reported.

Research Ship Southern Surveyor Underway Meteorological Data (delayed ~10 days for quality control) are from the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) program. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE THE QUALITY FLAG DATA! Each data variable's metadata includes a qcindex attribute which indicates a character number in the flag data. ALWAYS check the flag data for each row of data to see which data is good (flag='Z') and which data isn't. For example, to extract just data where time (qcindex=1), latitude (qcindex=2), longitude (qcindex=3), and airTemperature (qcindex=12) are 'good' data, include this constraint in your ERDDAP query: flag=~"ZZZ........Z.*" in your query. '=~' indicates this is a regular expression constraint. The 'Z's are literal characters. In this dataset, 'Z' indicates 'good' data. The '.'s say to match any character. The '*' says to match the previous character 0 or more times. (Don't include backslashes in your query.) See the tutorial for regular expressions at http://www.vogella.de/articles/JavaRegularExpressions/article.html

NODC Accession 0107116 includes pump cast and biological data collected aboard the EDWIN LINK, OCEANUS and SEWARD JOHNSON during cruises EL9904, EL9905, OC303 and SJ9508 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-06-10 to 1999-05-28. These data include SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - LIFE STAGE, TAXONOMIC CODE, SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - SEX and species abundance. The instruments used to collect these data include pump sampler. These data were collected by Lewis Incze of University of Southern Maine as part of GB. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-04-26. The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO: Zooplankton Densities/Abundance Principal Investigator: Lewis S. Incze (lincze@usm.maine.edu) (mailto:lincze@usm.maine.edu) Research Technicians: Ford Dye, Beth Novak, Nicholas Wolff Methods: Using a pumping system appended to the CTD unit, measured water volumes (typically 40 liters) were sampled at descrete depths and filtered through 40 micron mesh prior to sorting. A subsample of the filtered sample was used for the zooplankton counts and identification. The size of the subsample varied and depended on the amount of zooplankton present - subsamples were larger when there were fewer animals. From the subsamples, all zooplankton were counted and identifed. Counts were then converted into number per cubic meter as follows: Number counted / (Subsample size X Amount filtered). It is worth noting that the frequency of repeated densities is an artifact of the small subsample volumes screened in order to process a large number of samples. The small sample volumes did not give us the ability to resolve small differences in abundance at individual species and stages (e.g., Cal fin Nauplius I). At this level of sorting many counts were reported as zeros, ones, twos or threes. These counts are at the threshold for detection, and the results give the false impression of many identical densities (concentrations). This also shows up in gaps in the life histories as well. For example, a single depth/station might have NI and NIII and NIV stages, but not II or V. As a result, samples were often recombined to give the population characteristics of an integrated water column, or a group of samples. The approach worked well for our research objectives and we are well aware of its limitations. A single station and depth in our data can be deceiving and does not tell the whole story. Note: Sampling for cruise EL9904, events EL10999.24 and EL111299.6 are intentional replication sites. All sampling was made at same depth level. These stations were used to test the repeatability of methods.

Description
Bathythermograph data were collected from the WINNEBAGO within a 1-mile radius of Ocean Weather Station V (3400N 16400E) and in transit. Data were collected by the United States Coast Guard from 02 January 1968 to 01 February 1968. 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.

The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO: Zooplankton Meter3 Data from GSO/URI - Bongo Nets only The Zooplankton Meter3 Database for the Georges Bank GLOBEC project was originally located in the laboratory of Ted Durbin at the Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island. It was accessed via the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank data management system using SQLPlus network access to the data base management system at URI. Data were cached and are served from the local computer. A description of the original URI database is available online and includes the design and variable definitions. A version of this document is shown here (http://globec.whoi.edu/globec-dir/data_doc/zoo_cubic_meter_URI.html). Note: Our program's Data Acknowledgement Policy (http://globec.whoi.edu/globec-dir/data-acknowledgement-policy.html) requires that any person making substantial use of a data set must communicate with the investigators who acquired the data prior to publication and anticipate that the data collectors will be co-authors of published results. The following documentation applies to the data found locally on the WHOI GLOBEC Data Server: The data is served as a hierarchy. The least changing variables are in higher order levels (e.g., cruise id, year, month, etc.), while variables that change the most are in the lower order levels (e.g., time of collection, net number, taxon collected, etc.). There are six levels within the data; variable names and descriptions are given in the metadata. Most column variable names and instrument names were taken from the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank data thesaurus; those that were not follow the GLOBEC data protocols. The taxonomic code variable (taxon_code) is from the National Oceanographic Data Center's Taxonomic List, version 8. Taxonomic information is built into these ten-digit codes as they reflect the systematic nomenclature. You may contact BCO-DMO for additional help.

Coral health and disease assessments were conducted along 2 consecutively placed 25-m transects, as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments conducted at 9 sites at Maug Island in the Marianas Archipelago during 25 May - 09 June 2007, aboard the NOAA Hi'ialakai Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) Cruise HI0703. Within an area of 1-3m on each side of both transect lines, each colony was inspected and every diseased/afflicted coral enumerated and identified to the lowest taxonomic level. For each affected coral the following information was recorded: colony size, type of affliction, area affected, percent live/dead, and severity of the affliction (mild = 1-10%, moderate = 11-25%, marked = 26-50%, severe = 51-75%, acute = 76-100%). Coral afflictions were classified into one of six general categories (following Willis et al., 2004) including: bleaching, tissue loss, black band disease, skeletal growth anomaly, predation, and other lesions. This latter category included algal overgrowth, as well as unidentified syndromes causing deterioration of scleractinian corals. Tissue samples of selected cases were procured for histopathological analyses. These data provide the basis for computing quantitative estimates of disease incidence and prevalence. Samples and photographs provide aid in further disease characterization and description. Histological tissue samples are traditionally fixed in a formaldehyde solution prior to preparation for processing and analysis.
