Ship Sensor Observations for Estuary to the Abyss 2004: Exploring Along the Latitude 31-30 Transect - Office of Ocean Exploration

Hourly measurements made by selected ship sensors on the R/V Seward Johnson during the "Estuary to the Abyss 2004" expedition sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Ocean Exploration, August 20 through September 1, 2004. Measurements include ship's position and heading, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, depth, total solar irradiance, chlorophyll-a (fluorometer), sea surface temperature, and salinity. This data set was compiled from Virtual Instrument Data System (VIDS) ASCII files provided by the University of Miami Marine Technology Group at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution.

Supplemental Information
The original VIDS data files contain measurements made every one to twelve seconds (depending on the individual sensor sampling rate), data from additional sensors (flowmeters, de-bubbler, ultraviolet and infrared radiometers, and an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler), and other intermediate measurements (raw voltages, instrument health).
Purpose This data set was compiled in support a demonstration of the prototype NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration Digital Atlas. It was formatted for incorporation into a Geographic Information System database.
