Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Current measurements, in situ, physical, and profile data collected by University of California - San Diego; Scripps Institution of Oceanography at OceanSITES site MOVE4 from 2000-02-04 to 2022-10-21 (NCEI Accession 0130044)

Preview graphic

Current measurements, in situ, physical, and profile oceanographic data were collected, including CURRENT DIRECTION, CURRENT SPEED, DEPTH - OBSERVATION, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, and WATER TEMPERATURE from moored buoys at the Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment (MOVE4) using ADCP, CTD - moored CTD, and current meter from 2000-02-04 to 2022-10-21. These data were provided to one of the OceanSITES Data Assembly Centers (DAC). The DAC formatted this information into the OceanSITES file format and passed it on to the Global Data Assembly Centers (GDAC). This dataset includes all of the data that has been provided to NCEI for this site.

OceanSITES is a worldwide system of long-term, open-ocean reference stations measuring dozens of variables and monitoring the full depth of the ocean from air-sea interactions down to the seafloor. It is a network of stations or observatories measuring many aspects of the ocean's surface and water column using, where possible, automated systems with advanced sensors and telecommunications systems, yielding high time resolution, often in real-time, while building a long record.
