  • NOAA Ship Nancy Foster Underway Meteorological Data, Near Real Time

    Metadata Updated: May 15, 2021

    NOAA Ship Nancy Foster Underway Meteorological Data (Near Real Time, updated daily) are from the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) program.

    IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE THE QUALITY FLAG DATA! Each data variable's metadata includes a qcindex attribute which indicates a character number in the flag data. ALWAYS check the flag data for each row of data to see which data is good (flag='Z') and which data isn't. For example, to extract just data where time (qcindex=1), latitude (qcindex=2), longitude (qcindex=3), and airTemperature (qcindex=12) are 'good' data, include this constraint in your ERDDAP query: flag=~"ZZZ........Z." in your query.
    "=~" indicates this is a regular expression constraint. The 'Z's are literal characters. In this dataset, 'Z' indicates 'good' data. The '.'s say to match any character.
    The '    ' says to match the previous character 0 or more times.
    See the tutorial for regular expressions at https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/JavaRegularExpressions/article.html
