Methods & Sampling

   PI:              No specific PI -  Data assembled by U.S. JGOFS DMO
   dataset:         Atlantis II shipboard meteorology
   project/cruise:  North Atlantic Bloom Experiment/Atlantis II 119, leg 4

   ship:            Atlantis II
 

 This data set should be used with caution.  

 The U.S JGOFS Data Management Office assembled this data set from an
 undocumented source.  Due to the lack of supporting documentation, we have
 concerns about instrument calibrations and other routine data
 processing steps.  Units for all variables are assumed.

Instruments

Meteorological Station

Supplied Description:

shipboard MET station

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Meteorological Station

Acronym: MET Station

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/102/

Generic Description:

MET station systems are designed to record meteorological information on board ships or mounted on moorings. These are commonly referred to as EMET (Electronic Meteorological Packages) or IMET (Improved Meteorological Packages) systems. These sensor packages record measurements of sea surface temperature and salinity, air temperature, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, solar and long-wave radiation, humidity and precipitation.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
