AU_AADC provides a GIS dataset representing Antarctic territorial claims from the South Pole to the coastline. It is based on a 1979 map published by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. The data is intended to reflect national legislation but does not represent official Australian government views on other countries' claims.
From July 1999 to June 2002, the SeaWinds instrument on the QuikSCAT satellite measured near-surface wind speed and direction over approximately 90% of the ice-free ocean at a 25 km resolution. These data were processed by Remote Sensing Systems using the improved Ku-2001 geophysical model function for more accurate high-wind retrievals. The dataset time series ends in 2002, though continuing data are available from the provider.
The 2009 LMG0905 research leg collected underway data from the NSF-supported icebreaker R/V Laurence M. Gould during a round-trip voyage from Punta Arenas, Chile. The dataset supports global change studies in biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic disciplines in the Antarctic region. It was aggregated by SCIOPS and last updated on June 10, 2009.
Macquarie Island's unique subaerial exposure of oceanic crust was surveyed using a GEM Systems GSM-19 Overhauser Magnetometer. The dataset contains magnetic intensity readings and rock sample information from the Bauer Bay to Boot Hill area, collected on 200 m line spacings. Data collection was conducted by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AU_AADC) during the 2008-2009 field season.
EISCAT radar data provides plasma parameters including electron density and ion/electron temperatures. Observations cover altitudes from 90 to 1000 km above Northern Scandinavia and Svalbard, collected by the SCIOPS organization. The data was last updated in March 2009.
A cross-slope survey of the western South Scotia Ridge and nearby Scotia Sea collected fifty-seven hydrographic stations. Conductivity/Temperature/Depth (CTD) data were taken at each station, supplemented by sixty Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) probes to improve the upper layer thermal structure resolution. The data was collected by the PUERTO DESEADO vessel from February 17 to March 12, 2009 and is archived by NOAA_NCEI.
MOA2009 provides two cloud-free digital image maps of the Antarctic continent derived from 260 MODIS satellite orbit swaths. The maps depict mean surface morphology and a quantitative measure of optical snow grain size. The dataset was created by the AMD_USAPDC organization using data from NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites, with a last update in February 2009.
The Umitaka-maru UM 08/09 cruise collected atmospheric aerosol data in the Southern Ocean. Measurements include aerosol number size distributions, scattering and absorption coefficients, and size-segregated chemical analysis of particles and gases. The dataset was last updated on February 4, 2009.
The Coral Reef Temperature Anomaly Database (CoRTAD) Version 2 is a global collection of sea surface temperature and thermal stress metrics at approximately 4 km resolution on a weekly time scale. It was created by NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center and the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill with support from the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program. The dataset covers the period from 1982 through 2008.
SCIOS collected turbulence and microstructure data in the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2008/2009. The data were obtained using TurboMap during the cruise of TR/V Umitaka-Maru. The dataset includes measurements of vertical shear of horizontal current, temperature, and salinity.
Spectral radiation, absorption coefficients, and phytoplankton pigment concentrations measured in the Southern Ocean during the TR/V Umitaka-Maru cruise. The data likely contains measurements from several depths obtained using a CTD system and Niskin bottle. The dataset was last updated on January 30, 2009.
Global optical satellite imagery from the CBERS-2 satellite's Wide Field Imager (WFI). The data has a spatial resolution of 260 meters and a ground swath of 890 kilometers, enabling complete Earth surface coverage approximately every 5 days. The dataset is provided by the CEOS_EXTRA organization and was last updated in 2009.
SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) provides quantitative data on global ocean bio-optical properties. The dataset was collected by AMD_KOPRI and last updated on 2008-12-31 23:59:59.999000. It is designed to help understand Earth as a system in both behavior and evolution.
Total primary energy supply (TPES) data for nuclear power, calculated as production plus imports minus exports and international marine bunkers, with stock changes. The nuclear power values represent the primary heat equivalent of electricity produced, assuming an average thermal efficiency of 33 percent, with units in KTOE (41.868 Terajoules or 11.630 Gigawatt-Hours). The dataset is provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA) via the CEOS_EXTRA organization on the nasa_earthdata platform.
Neutral winds and temperature data from the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere region at King Sejong Station, Antarctica. Measurements were obtained from meteor observations around 70 to 110 km altitude. The dataset was produced by AMD_KOPRI and last updated in December 2008.
LVIS imagery provides detailed three-dimensional canopy structure measurements over forested regions. The dataset covers areas in California's Sierra Nevada and New Mexico, collected by the SCIOPS organization. The data was last updated in 2008.
Nuclear energy production data provides the primary heat equivalent of electricity generated by nuclear power plants, assuming an average thermal efficiency of 33 percent. The dataset is published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and was last updated in December 2008.
February 2007 to October 2008 data collected from 8 cruises aboard the R/V Hugh R. Sharp in the upper Chesapeake Bay. The dataset contains in-situ sensor measurements and biological samples from the estuarine turbidity maximum region, gathered by NOAA NCEI. Objectives included axial surveys and time-course sampling at anchor stations.
An east-to-west transect across McMurdo Sound collected oceanographic data at sites approximately 5 km apart. Conductivity-Temperature-Depth profiles, current meter data, water samples, and ice cores were gathered by SCIOPS to investigate water column structure and Ice Shelf Water. The research, last updated in 2008, aims to understand the relationship between sea ice and the underlying ocean.
The central Arctic Ocean was the focus of the interdisciplinary ASCOS expedition aboard the icebreaker Oden from August 1 to September 9, 2008. This dataset provides mean temperatures, salinities, horizontal current velocities, and turbulent fluxes of heat and salt in the upper ocean mixed layer. The data was collected by the SCIOPS organization using a turbulence instrument cluster deployed through the ice.
