Water temperature, salinity, and other physical, biological, chemical and remote sensing data collected aboard the research vessel Falkor, waveglider, and aircraft during cruise FK180528 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2018-05-01 to 2018-06-26 (NCEI Accession 0188678)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: June 28, 2026 at 08:27 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 30, 2019 at 12:00 AM

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, pressure, average wind speed and direction, maximum wind speed, air pressure, air temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration, oil concentration, water turbidity, water conductivity, oxygen solubility, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), thermal and multispectral images. The instruments used to collect these data include WaveGlider (Airmar 200WX sensor, Turner C3 with Chlorophyll, Oil and Turbidity sensors and Seabird Glider Payload CTD (GPCTD)), FlightWave Edge (NASA-AMES prototype DMS sensor), FlightWave Edge (FLIR Duo R Thermal Camera and Multispectral Camera Parrot Sequoia) and SINTEF's SILCAM. These data were collected by Joao Borges de Sousa of University of Porto, and by Schmidt Ocean Institute as part of Exploring Fronts with Multiple Robots. Data are in text (CNV, CSV) formats. Images are in JPG format.
