C-HARRIER Coastal Atmospheric and Aquatic Radiometer Measurements

Data from the C-HARRIER project studying coastal atmospheric and aquatic environments in Monterey Bay, Pinto Lake, and Lake Tahoe. The dataset is managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and includes measurements related to ocean chemistry, optics, temperature, and salinity. File formats include BIN and ISO.

Use Cases

• Analyzing coastal water temperature variations using ocean temperature measurements.
• Studying salinity gradients and their impact on density in coastal zones.
• Investigating water clarity and composition through ocean optics data.
• Correlating atmospheric conditions with aquatic environmental parameters in Monterey Bay, Pinto Lake, and Lake Tahoe.

Strengths

• Project focuses on three distinct, environmentally significant sites: Monterey Bay, Pinto Lake, and Lake Tahoe.
• Managed by a authoritative source, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers multiple earth science domains including ocean chemistry, optics, temperature, and salinity.

Limitations

• No column names, row counts, or dataset size information is available from any source.
• License is listed as 'other-license-specified' on Data.gov but is 'None' on NASA Earthdata, creating a conflict.
• Author and specific temporal coverage for the measurements are unknown.
