Indian River Lagoon - Fort Pierce: Oceanographic and Meteorological Time Series, 2015-2020

Coastal waters of Florida contain oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from an in-situ moored station named Indian River Lagoon - Fort Pierce (IRL-FP). Florida Atlantic University collected the data, which was assembled by the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA) and submitted to NCEI. The data covers the period from October 7, 2015, to June 9, 2020.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in coastal water quality based on oceanographic data mentioned in the description
• Model relationships between surface meteorological conditions and lagoon parameters based on the station data
• Validate regional oceanographic models using the in-situ observational time series data

Strengths

• Data spans nearly five years, from 2015-10-07 to 2020-06-09
• Data follows the Climate and Forecast (CF) metadata convention and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD)
• Data is part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Last updated 2020-06-09 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
