Subject: USGS Woods Hole Science Center Oceanographic Data Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:15:37 -0400 From: Scott.Mowery To: NODC.DataOfficer@noaa.gov CC: Scott Mowery , Ellyn Montgomery Aloha Silver Spring! USGS Woods Hole Science Center legacy data attached for adding to the NODC Accessions. --------------------------------------------- Working with Ellyn Montgomery, USGS Woods Hole Data Manager, this is one element of the USGS inventory of archived time series data. Data is provided in the basic sample interval and hourly averaged. Variables include, among others, currents, temperature, pressure, conductivity, light transmission (beam attenuation), etc. Time range of the complete series is 1975 - present. I have placed the files Hudson_Shelf_Valley.zip on the anonymous FTP site Liaison directory for your retrieval (ftp://ftp.nodc.noaa.gov/pub/incoming/liaison/). The zip files include the complete datasets and supporting metadata / associated files for field activities from the CIRCULATION AND SEDIMENT TRANSPORT IN THE HUDSON SHELF VALLEY Field Program, carried out to understand the transport of sediments and associated contaminants in the Hudson Shelf Valley, offshore of New York. The valley is a sink and potential conduit for the movement of sediments and associated contaminants across the shelf. A winter experiment (2000-2001) investigated the role of winter storms in transporting sediments in the valley. A spring experiment (2006) explored transport during the period of spring runoff from the Hudson River. The spring experiment was carried out in cooperation with LaTTE (Lagrangian Transport and Tracer Experiment). Data includes basic sampling interval and hourly averaged data, Field Activity Reports, trip maps (.kml), metadata files, ship photos, cruise reports, and Google Earth KML files. Data submission POC is Scott Mowery, NCDDC Northeast Regional Science Officer. Original data from each cruise is stored in _Net_work _C_ommon _D_ata Format (netCDF) files using the EPIC (_E_quatorial _P_acific _I_nformation _C_ollection) conventions defined by the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.
