Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 20110331 tabular digital data Silver Spring, Maryland, USA US National Oceanographic Data Center http://accession.nodc.noaa.gov/0071833 Post-cruise download of raw data from shipboard computer(s) as furnished by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Shipboard Scientific Support Group and archived by the Marine Biological Laboratory Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Library for the R/V Oceanus - Cruise 444 Leg 01. These data are part of a collection of ocean observation data from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ships OCEANUS (call sign WXAQ; built 1975.00; IMO 7603617), KNORR (call sign KCEJ; built 1970.00; IMO 7738618), and the ATLANTIS (call sign KAQP; built 1997.03; IMO 9105798). The data sets are the downloads of the shipboard computers after an individual cruise. As such, they contain basic raw and processed physical and meteorological data from the cruise. A data set may include XBT, CTD, and XCTD profiles, underway thermosalinograph and atmospheric measurements, gravity and magnetic field measurements, current measurements from ADCP, and still photographs from the Alvin submersible (Atlantis cruises only). Other data types (ROV, nutrients measured from bottle samples, etc.) and photographs documenting the cruise may be included. These data are the result of an effort to obtain all available Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) cruise data sets since 1998 and make them publicly available through NODC.

Woods Hole MA 02543 United States 508-289-2538 adorsk@whoi.edu Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute None Unclassified None For CTD: data may be in Seasoft binary format or Seasoft ASCII converted format. For XBT: data may be in Sippican binary format or EDF output format (ASCII). For meteorology/thermosalinograph: data will be in calliope (Athena) format and/or athena90 format. The above formats are all self described (described in each data file). Calliope data include a descriptive file MetaData.txt. This describes format and instrumentation. The Knudsen and Centerbeam bathymetry data have undescribed ASCII formats. Gravity and magnetic data are in an undescribed ASCII format (default output from the associated software). Photographic and/or graphics image files are in JPEG and/or GIF format. In the absence of an electronic means of supplying specific details of each file format for each NODC dataset, NODC provides extended information to assist customers in finding specific information about potentially diverse data sets. This extended information is provided below. Recent data archived by the NODC are available in the format provided by the data originator. Data may also be available in NODC-processed formats.

NOAA and NODC cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data. Originator's Data Format(s) Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) cruise data These data are part of an effort to obtain all available Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) cruise data sets 1998-present and make them publicly available through NODC. A cruise data set is a post-cruise download of shipboard computer as deposited at the WHOI library. For more information see "http://dlaweb.whoi.edu/DIG_RES/cruisedata.html". The cruise data sets consist of directories, each of which may contain scientifically valuable data from the cruise. The main identified directories and the data they contain are listed below. Each cruise data set may contain one or more of the following (note that the directory names are all capitalized here; in the cruise data set they may be all capitalized, all lower case, or a combination): Meteorological and thermosalinograph: ATHENA90 - contains meteorological data from the IMET (Improved Meteorological Package), which includes the following: SST, air temperature, wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, solar radiation, long wave radiation, humidity, precipitation, aerosol levels, sea surface conductivity (salinity). Comment: This is the same information found in ATHENA and/or CALLIOPE in a special format. ATHENA - see ATHENA90. This is the same information, in another format. CALLIOPE - see ATHENA90. This is the same information, in another format. ATHENA99 - same as ATHENA90. Currents: ADCP - Acoustic Doppler current profiler, measures current speed and current direction. ADCP75 - same as ADCP, different format (including binary). ADCP_DATA - same as ADCP Hydrographic profiles: CTD - Conductivity-Temperature-Depth.
