FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY; CENTER FOR OCEAN-ATMOSPHERIC PREDICTION STUDIES 20110806 tabular digital data Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) NANCY FOSTER; June 2011 Silver Spring, Maryland, USA US National Oceanographic Data Center http://accession.nodc.noaa.gov/0074779 The data logging system on the NANCY FOSTER recorded underway oceanographic and meteorological data from various instruments while cruising in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2011-06-16 to 2011-06-16. During this period, as part of the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) project, the data logging system sent the data daily via e-mail to Florida State University (FSU), where the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) quality-controlled (QCed) the meteorological data. COAPS submitted three versions of the data to the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC): the original data e-mailed by the data logging system, first-level (automatically) QCed data, and second-level (visually) QCed data. NODC Accession 0074779 contains all these data. Provide quality underway meteorological and physical oceanographic data to the user community.

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. Please contact the NODC directly for additional details about this particular data set. Processing documentation is not yet available. The data sets received by COAPS from various ships have undergone a rigorous scientific quality control process. Gaps in the data only occur when ships do not report the data to COAPS. Technicians regularly calibrate the instruments aboard the vessels to ensure the accuracy of the measurements. Values provided to FSU through the SAMOS project are one-minute averages derived from higher frequency instrument-level observations. The SCS does not provide these instrument-level observations to SAMOS. The averaged data then go through two levels of processing for the SAMOS project: the first level is an automated process that checks geospatial positioning, vessel speed, climatology, and parameter range checking, and physical consistency. Visual inspection of the data is the second level of processing to review the flagging of the automated process and to look for any anomalies it may have missed.
