Title: SAMOS project underway oceanographic and quality-controlled meteorological data collected aboard R/V Melville from 2012-10-01 to 2012-10-31 (NCEI Accession 0100455)
Abstract: The data logging system on R/V Melville recorded underway oceanographic and meteorological data from various instruments while cruising in the North Pacific Ocean from 2012-10-01 to 2012-10-31. During this period, as part of the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) project, the data logging system sent the data daily via e-mail to Florida State University (FSU), where the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) quality-controlled (QCed) the meteorological data. COAPS submitted three versions of the data to the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC): the original data e-mailed by the data logging system and first-level (automatically and merged) QCed data. This dataset contains all these data.
