GoMOOS Buoy Data: Real-Time Ocean and Weather Observations, August-September 2003

Real-time current, wave, temperature, salinity, optical, and meteorological data from Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System (GoMOOS) buoys. The dataset was published by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and covers a specific period from August 31 to September 6, 2003. It likely contains time-series measurements from oceanographic buoys.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean currents and wave dynamics in the Gulf of Maine (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Analyzing correlations between meteorological and oceanographic variables (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Validating regional climate or coastal ecosystem models (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Published on the authoritative NASA Earthdata platform.
• Data originates from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
• Covers multiple oceanographic and meteorological parameters from a known observing system.

Limitations

• Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
• Last updated 2003-09-06 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
