Count Component Title Abstract
1 Ship Sensor Observations for Islands in the Stream 2002 - Pharmaceutical Discovery, Vision, and Bioluminescence - Office of Ocean Exploration Hourly measurements made by selected ship sensors on the R/V Seward Johnson during the 2002 "Islands in the Stream - Pharmaceutical Discovery, Vision, and Bioluminescence" expedition sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Ocean Exploration, August 15 - 31, 2002. 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. Quality assurance included a check of distances between hourly positions, checks for missing hourly data, review of minimum and maximum values, verification of continuous pump operation, and deletion of negative values.

Checked for missing and duplicate hourly data records ***** FATHOMETER: 1. Retrieved hourly depth from Bridge Depth files (on the hour +2/-0 seconds) 2. Checked for missing and duplicate hourly data records ***** EPPLEY: 1. Retrieved hourly data from the Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer (PSP) (on the hour +10/-0 seconds) 2. Consulted with Eppley Lab to determine units of measure and verify data quality 3. Deleted values less than 1 W/m2 (3 values were anomalous) [Eppley PSP S/N: 32988F3, Last Cal Date: 05 Feb 2002, Sensitivity: 8.620000E-6] ***** FLUOROMETER: 1.

Checked Fluorometer Flow files to verify constant voltage output and flow measurement (within 2%) throughout time period of fluorometer data [Seapoint Chlorophyll Fluorometer S/N: SCF2293, Last Cal Date: 1 Jan 2000; Proteus Flowmeter S/N: 51058, Last Cal Date: 13 Mar 2001] ***** T-S: 1. Retrieved hourly temperature and salinity measurements from T-Sal files (on the hour +11/-0 seconds) 2. Checked for missing and duplicate hourly data records 3. Thermosalinograph is in the same flow path as Fluorometer--constant voltage and flow mesurement (within 2%) throughout time period of T-S data [Seabird Model 21 Thermosalinograph with debubbler chamber; Seabird SBE3 Temperature Sensor in through-hull fitting; Proteus Flowmeter S/N: 51058, Last Cal Date: 13 Mar 2001] ***** HEADING: 1. Retrieved hourly heading from Gyro Compass files (on the hour +3/-0 seconds) 2. Checked for missing and duplicate hourly data records ***** INTEGRATING DATA INTO SINGLE WORKSHEET: 1. Inserted data from individual instrument and sensor worksheets into main VIDS worksheet (including date and time) 2. Calculated difference between GMT and instrument measurement times to verify that hours matched 3. Created blank cells where there were missing measurements.****** CONVERT EXCEL WORKSHEET: Microsoft Excel spreadsheet of ship observations was imported into ArcGIS as a table and converted into an ESRI shapefile. Resulting ESRI shapefile was loaded into ArcSDE as an SDE layer.
