Moorings within the array measure surface meteorological and upper-ocean parameters. This collection contains full-resolution, delayed-mode data, which the National Buoy Data Center processed and submitted to NODC in netCDF-formatted files. To respond to the need for meteorological and ocean observations in the equatorial Pacific Ocean in support of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictions and climate research. 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 irregular https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:NDBC-TAO-Buoys-Delayed-Mode Preview graphic PNG 0088104 0124309 0124311 0124315 0125921 0125922 0125923 0125924 0125925 0125927 0125934 0125936 0125951 0125952 0125953 0125954 0125955 0139411 0139412 0139414 0166928 0184260 0186280 0227956 0231185 0289981 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2024-03-07 publication AIR TEMPERATURE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CURRENT DIRECTION CURRENT SPEED CURRENT SPEED - EAST/WEST COMPONENT (U) CURRENT SPEED - NORTH/SOUTH COMPONENT (V) DEPTH - OBSERVATION HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE INCOMING SOLAR RADIATION PRECIPITATION RATE RELATIVE HUMIDITY SALINITY SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE SIGMA-THETA WATER TEMPERATURE WIND DIRECTION WIND SPEED theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS ADCP CTD - moored CTD meteorological sensor pyranometer instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS current measurements meteorological physical theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS FIXED PLATFORM OF UNITED STATES TOGA-TAO BUOYS platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS NOAA National Data Buoy Center dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA National Data Buoy Center dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Equatorial Pacific Ocean North Pacific Ocean South Pacific Ocean TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NWS/NDBC > National Data Buoy Center, National Weather Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 23 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015. 2015-04-22T00:00:00 asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI. Updates are performed as needed to maintain currentness. 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.
