Meteorological data from 1995-1996 from a mooring deployed on the Northeast Peak in Georges Bank as part of the U.S. GLOBEC program (GB project) (NCEI Accession 0278371)
This dataset contains meteorological, optical, and physical data collected on GB NEP Mooring during deployments NEP_buoy_dep1 and NE_Peak in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-11-01 to 1996-03-30. These data include air temperature, conductivity, depth, light transmission (volts), par_scalar, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, sigma-theta, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, CTD Sea-Bird MicroCAT 37, CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT, LI-COR LI-192 PAR Sensor, Rotronics, Sea Tech Fluorometer, Sea Tech Transmissometer, Sea-Bird SBE-3 Temperature Sensor, and Sea-Bird SBE-4 Conductivity Sensor. These data were collected by Dr Jim Irish and Robert C Beardsley of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank (GB)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-12-13.
The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:
Data from mooring deployed 1995 on Northeast Peak
Dataset Description:
GLOBEC Georges Bank Long-term Moored Array Component
N.E. Peak Mooring Site
41 44' N, 66 32' W
The data reported here are for those data obtained by the N.E.Peak mooring deployment of Nov 1 1995 to Mar 30 1996.
Note: Sampling rates vary from instrument to instrument and depth to depth.

1. The nominal position of the mooring is the designed deployment site and actual deployments varied by about 0.5 nm around this position. 2. Sensor depths are nominal designed depths. In water sensors vary around this designed depth by about 1 m, variation larger at greater distance below buoy. 3. Temperatures are listed in the IPTS68 standard, rather than IPT90. 4. Salinity conversion from conductivity was done with PSS78 5. Sensor normalization was done with pre-cruise calibrations, and checked with post-cruise calibrations. 6. Only minor editing has been done to remove spikes from records. 7. No corrections have been made to fluorometer and transmissometer data to remove biological fouling induced drift. 8. No corrections have been made to salinity for drifts due to biological fouling.
