Research Vessel Underway Data for Ocean-Atmosphere Model Validation

This collection consists of underway data from NOAA research cruises, primarily in the North Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea. It integrates concurrent meteorological, navigational, and physical oceanographic measurements into continuous time series. These datasets are essential for tasks requiring co-located atmospheric and oceanic observations, such as calculating air-sea fluxes. The multi-year coverage from a single vessel platform provides a consistent data source for analyzing regional and temporal variability in marine environmental conditions.

MNF Underway Data: Marine Navigation and Ocean-Atmosphere Measurements

Processed Underway (UWY) data from Marine National Facility voyages provides continuous, quality-controlled measurements from research vessels. The dataset contains navigation, oceanographic, and atmospheric variables recorded at 5-second intervals, including water salinity, temperature, fluorescence, wind speed, solar radiation, and trace gases. These data are supplied to the IMOS AODN and used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for satellite sea surface temperature validation.

Australian Ocean Air-Sea Flux Observations from Research Vessels

Quality-controlled 1-minute average meteorological and oceanographic observations are collected from research and Antarctic resupply voyages in oceans adjacent to Australia. The data is produced by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) Ships of Opportunity - Air-Sea Flux Sub-Facility, with quality control performed by the Bureau of Meteorology. A daily file of observations is generated shortly after 0000 UTC and provided on a near real-time basis.

VOS Explorer of the Seas: Underway Ocean and Atmospheric Data

NODC Accessions 0081032, 0081033, and 0109924 contain underway surface observations from the R/V Explorer of the Seas, collected by Rik Wanninkhof of NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory. The data include measurements of air and sea surface temperature, barometric pressure, dissolved oxygen, salinity, wind, and partial pressure of carbon dioxide across the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and North Atlantic Ocean. Measurements were taken using thermosalinographs, carbon dioxide gas analyzers, and barometric pressure sensors from 2003-02-08 to 2005-12-18.

Ocean Temperature Profiles from Multiple Research Vessels (1987-1988)

Eight research vessels collected 250 days of ocean temperature-depth profiles across seven major sea regions from September 1987 to May 1988. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration processed this data into the NODC standard C116 format for expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Profiles record temperature at non-uniform inflection points to depths up to 1830 meters, defining the thermal structure of the water column.

VOS Explorer of the Seas: Ocean Carbon and Surface Variables

Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, North Atlantic Ocean, Bay of Fundy, and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary are covered by this time-series dataset of underway surface observations from the cruise ship EXPLORER OF THE SEAS. It includes measurements of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide, salinity, sea surface temperature, barometric pressure, and wind data, collected using CO2 gas analyzers and equilibrators. The data were collected by Rik Wanninkhof of NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory across multiple years, with the widest coverage from 2002 to 2011.
