Title: SAMOS project underway oceanographic and quality-controlled meteorological data collected aboard NOAA Ship Fairweather from 2015-10-01 to 2015-10-31 (NCEI Accession 0138900)
Abstract: The data logging system on NOAA Ship Fairweather recorded underway oceanographic and meteorological data from various instruments while cruising in the Coastal Waters of SE Alaska and North Pacific Ocean from 2015-10-01 to 2015-10-31. 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 four versions of the data to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI): the original data e-mailed by the data logging system, first-level (automatically and merged) QCed data, and second-level (visually) QCed data. This dataset contains all these data.
