Oceanographic and Meteorological Data from Florida Coastal Station APK, 2014-2015

From February 13, 2014, to January 29, 2015, this collection contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data from a moored station named APK in the Coastal Waters of Florida and North Atlantic Ocean. The University of South Florida Coastal Ocean Monitoring and Prediction System collected the data, which was assembled by the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association and submitted to the National Oceanographic Data Center.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal ocean dynamics based on in-situ moored station data.
• Analyzing surface meteorological patterns in the North Atlantic Ocean based on time-series observations.
• Studying regional climate variability in Florida's coastal waters based on the described data collection.

Strengths

• Data follows the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD), suggesting standardized metadata.
• Data was submitted as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers Data Stewardship Program, indicating a formal quality pipeline.
• The time range is precisely defined from 2014-02-13 to 2015-01-29.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2015-01-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
