Indian River Lagoon Coastal Water and Meteorological Data, 2015-2020

From 2015-10-07 to 2020-06-18, Florida Atlantic University collected oceanographic and surface meteorological data from a moored station in the Indian River Lagoon near Jensen Beach, Florida. The Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA) assembled and submitted the data to NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information. Data are stored in netCDF files following Climate and Forecast (CF) metadata conventions.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal water quality changes based on the described oceanographic and meteorological parameters.
• Analyzing long-term environmental trends in the Indian River Lagoon based on the multi-year time series.
• Calibrating satellite-derived oceanographic data using the described in-situ moored station measurements.

Strengths

• Data collection spans nearly five years, from 2015-10-07 to 2020-06-18.
• Data follows established Climate and Forecast (CF) and ACDD metadata conventions for interoperability.
• Data originates from a specific, fixed in-situ moored station (IRL-JB), ensuring consistent geographic context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2020-06-18 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
