Cape Henlopen Pressure Gauge Data from 1981-1982

8500049 NCEI accession contains hydrostatic pressure and water temperature measurements from the Cape Henlopen station in the North Atlantic Ocean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration processed this data into the NODC standard Pressure Gauge (F017) format. Measurements were collected from April 10, 1981, to November 1, 1982.

Use Cases

• Analyzing tidal and storm flow patterns using time-series pressure measurements.
• Studying ocean circulation changes through variations in seawater pressure at depth.
• Correlating seawater temperature data with pressure readings for environmental modeling.
• Using reported station position, bottom depth, and gauge depth for spatial analysis of pressure signatures.

Strengths

• Data adheres to the standardized NODC F017 format, ensuring consistent structure.
• Time-series measurements are reported at fine intervals, typically every 10-15 minutes.
• Covers a specific 19-month observation period from 1981 to 1982 at a fixed location.

Limitations

• Exact row count, column names, and dataset size are unknown across all sources.
• Sources conflict on the 'last updated' date (2026-03-05 vs. 1982-11-01).
• License information is not provided.
