Description

Unfiltered ship underway measurements from 3m depth

Methods & Sampling

Air temp; Port WXT520 (WXTP_Ta) Format: XXX.XX degrees C, Data obtained from
Vaisala WXT520 sensor mounted on the forward mast, port side, 20m above the waterline.

Barometric pressure (BPR), Primary barometric sensor reading (IMET_BPR),
BPR data has been corrected for 20.1 meter mast height ( .1185 millibars/m)

Decimal Latitude (Dec_Lat), Format: +/-xx.xxxx (S = "-"),
Latitude value in degrees obtained from the GPS NMEA $GPRMC data sentence.
The RMC sentence is obtained from the switched GPS receiver (C-Nav, GP1850, GP-90D).

Decimal Longitude (Dec_Lon), Format: +/-xxx.xxxx (W = "-"),
Longitude value in degrees obtained from the GPS NMEA $GPRMC data sentence.
The RMC sentence is obtained from the switched GPS receiver (C-Nav, GP1850, GP-90D).

Depth (12 kHz) ( Depth12), 12 kHz depth (meters) from sea surface obtained
by Knudsen bathymetry system. See Knudsen Bathymetry information for sound
speed and transducer depth corrections; normally based on 1500 m/s sound speed
& corrected for 5.95 meter (19.5 ft) transducer depth.

Fluorometer (FLR)

GPS course over ground (GPS_COG), Format: XXX.X degrees This is the primary COG data.
Course-over-ground (true) in degrees obtained from the GPS GPRMC data sentence.
The RMC sentence is obtained from the switched GPS receiver (C-Nav, GP1850, GP-90D).

GPS speed over ground (GPS_SOG) Format: XX.X knots. This is the primary SOG data.
Speed-over-ground (knots) obtained from GPS NMEA $GPRMC data sentence.
The RMC sentence is obtained from the switched GPS receiver (C-Nav, GP1850, GP-90D).

IMET Humidity (IMET_HRH) Format: XX.XX (%RH), XXX.XXX (C), IMET temperature and
humidity sensor. Humidity (HRH) and air temperature (Air_Temp) are obtained from
this instrument. Sensor is mounted on the forward mast, 20m above the waterline.

Salinity (Salinity) Format: ss.ssss (psu) Salinity calculated from SBE45 TMP
and SBE45 CND data values in accordance with UNESCO 44. (also see SBE45s)

Sea Surface Temperature (SSTMP) Format xx.xxxx (C) Sea surface temperature (degrees C)
from primary sensor (SBE48). This sensor is located in the bow chamber approximately 5m BWL
This value is used for related "conversion" calculations (i.e. Sound velocity).

True wind direction; Port WXT520 (WXTP_TD) - degrees Values are calculated from the
Vaisala WXT520 Weather Transmitter raw data corrected for sensor alignment error and
combined with the ship's gyro heading and GPS SOG and COG values. Sensor is mounted
on the bow mast, port side, at a height of 20m above the waterline.

True wind speed; Stbd WXT520 (WXTS_TD) - m/sec Values are calculated from the
Vaisala WXT520 Weather Transmitter raw data corrected for sensor alignment error and
combined with the ship's gyro heading and GPS SOG and COG values. Sensor is mounted
on the bow mast, stbd side, at a height of 20m above the waterline.

Data Processing Description

As reported:
Missing data are indicated with NaN for the filtered dataset and -999 for the unfiltered dataset.
Note: Changed to BCO-DMO standard of "nd" in both datasets

Filtering is boxcar with a filterwidth of .041666 days = 1 hour

Instruments

Global Positioning System Receiver

Supplied Description:

C-Nav; GP1850; GP-90D

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Global Positioning System Receiver

Acronym: GPS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/POS03/

Generic Description:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based radionavigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments of the NAVSTAR GPS transmitter system. Ships use a variety of receivers (e.g. Trimble and Ashtech) to interpret the GPS signal and determine accurate latitude and longitude.

Improved Meteorological Recorder

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Improved Meteorological Recorder

Acronym: IMET

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

Generic Description:

An IMET Recorder is an instrument package that can be mounted on a ship or buoy to record mean weather data including air and sea-surface temperature, incoming short and long-wave radiation, precipitation, humidity, wind velocity and barometric pressure. Each sensor in the system communicates digitally and returns calibrated values to a central data recorder.
