Title: Meteorological and hydrographic data collected from Middlebay Light House Station in Mobile Bay, Alabama, from 2018-01-01 to 2018-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0209135)
Abstract: Dauphin Island Sea Lab has partnered with multiple organizations and agencies to provide real-time meteorological and hydrographic data from the Middle Bay Light House in Mobile Bay, AL. This accession contains meteorological and hydrographic data from Middle Bay Lighthouse station. Meteorological data was collected every minute and hydrographic data every hour at different depths in the water column with the YSI 6600 EDS. Data includes water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, water height, air temperature, relative humidity, solar and quantum radiation, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation amounts. Near real-time data are available in a user-friendly format at https://arcos.disl.org. Informative pop-ups describe each parameter and graphs of each may be displayed for the visitor to the website. Researchers may download the data in a spreadsheet format for further analysis.
