Temperature profile and other data collected using moored buoy in the Pacific Ocean (30-N to 30-S) as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project from 1977-11-06 to 1978-03-24 (NCEI Accession 8200053)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:28 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 08, 2023 at 12:00 AM
Air pressure, current, wind and temperature time series data were collected from moored buoys from TOGA Area in Pacific (30 N to 30 S). Buoy data from the equatorial pacific was submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and collected as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project. Four buoys were deployed from November 6, 1977 to March 24, 1978 (buoys H1 thru H4). The data were collected by the Deep Sea Physics Group and submitted by Dr. P. Freitag.
