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

University of South Florida collected oceanographic and surface meteorological data from its in-situ moored station named tas in the Coastal Waters of Florida and North Atlantic Ocean. The Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association assembled and submitted the data to the National Oceanographic Data Center as part of the IOOS Data Stewardship Program. Data collection spans from February 13, 2014, to January 22, 2015, with monthly updates added to the accession.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal ocean dynamics based on in-situ station data.
• Analyzing surface meteorological trends in Florida coastal waters.
• Validating satellite-derived oceanographic measurements with ground-truth station data.

Strengths

• Data follows Climate and Forecast (CF) and Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD) metadata standards.
• Data collection covers a specific 11-month period from February 2014 to January 2015.
• Data is part of a formal stewardship program (IOOS DACs) ensuring systematic collection and submission.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2015-01-22 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
