These data were collected by NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), and were submitted by AOML as part of the Atlantic Ocean Western Boundary Time Series (WBTS) / Florida Current Transport project. To monitor important climate signals, including variations in the Florida Current, water mass and transport signatures related to changes in the strengths and regions of high latitude water mass formation in the North Atlantic, interior dynamic height difference across the entire Atlantic basin and its associated baroclinic heat transport, and the intensity of the Antilles Current as an index (together with the Florida Current) of interannual variability in the strength of the subtropical gyre. onGoing historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:AOML-WBTS Preview graphic PNG 0087879 0087939 0088016 0108045 0115895 0125429 0140278 0157747 0159429 0161127 0161539 0161542 0162481 0164344 0167907 0167908 0167909 0167910 0167911 0167912 0167913 0167914 0167915 0167916 0167917 0167918 0167919 0167920 0167921 0167922 0167923 0167924 0167925 0167926 0167927 0167928 0167929 0167930 0167931 0167932 0167933 0167934 0167935 0167936 0167937 0184924 0186254 0186271 0209243 0214547 0221336 0235235 0235236 0246339 0276840 0276841 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2023-02-22 publication CONDUCTIVITY CURRENT DIRECTION CURRENT SPEED CURRENT SPEED - EAST/WEST COMPONENT (U) CURRENT SPEED - NORTH/SOUTH COMPONENT (V) DEPTH - BOTTOM DISSOLVED OXYGEN DYNAMIC HEIGHT FLUORESCENCE HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE OXYGEN Potential temperature (theta) SALINITY turbidity Volume Transport WATER DENSITY WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS ADCP bathythermograph - XBT CTD current meter oceanic dropsonde oxygen sensor profiling float satellite sensor - altimeter submarine cable thermistor tide gauge instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS chemical current measurements derived products in situ moored buoy physical profile satellite data time series theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS ANTEA CAPE HATTERAS ENDEAVOR Hildebrand Island Clan JUSTO SIERRA moorings NOAA Ship Ronald H.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian ADCP ADCP Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile. As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements. bathythermograph - XBT bathythermograph - XBT eXpendable BathyThermograph CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe current meter current meter current meter oceanic dropsonde oceanic dropsonde The oceanic dropsonde, or dropsonde float, is a free falling instrument that records the temperature, conductivity, pressure and average current velocity in a vertical column of water. The instrument is dropped into the ocean at a known position. It descends at a constant rate to the bottom; weights are released on bottom contact, and then the instrument ascends to the surface. The distance between the drop point and the point were the instruments first surfaces, represents the total vertically accumulated drift during the period of descent and ascent. oxygen sensor oxygen sensor Any instrument that measures oxygen content in a compound. profiling float profiling float PALACE and other types of profiling drifters any one of several types of free-drifting (floating) instrument packages that measure one or more water column parameters, such as temperature, salinity, etc., along with reporting the date, time, and location of the measurements taken over time.
