Apache Pier Coastal Oceanographic and Meteorological Data

NOAA NCEI Accession 0118794 contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from a moored station named Apache Pier in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Long Bay Hypoxia Monitoring Consortium (LBHMC) collected the data, and the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA) assembled and submitted it to NCEI. Observations span from February 13, 2014 to July 9, 2015.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in sea surface temperature and salinity from the Apache Pier station records.
• Correlate wind speed and atmospheric pressure data with observed oceanographic conditions for coastal weather modeling.
• Study hypoxia-related parameters like dissolved oxygen and water temperature over the 17-month observation period.
• Validate regional ocean models using in-situ meteorological and oceanographic measurements from a fixed coastal location.

Strengths

• Data spans a continuous 17-month period from 2014-02-13 to 2015-07-09.
• Follows standardized metadata conventions (CF and ACDD) for climate and forecast data.
• Data is part of NOAA's Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Stewardship Program, ensuring curation.

Limitations

• Dataset size, row count, and specific column names are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single moored station (Apache Pier) in the North Atlantic.
• Data collection ended in July 2015, making it temporally stale for current analysis.
