Major components include the TAO/TRITON (Tropical Atmosphere Ocean) array in the Pacific, PIRATA (Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Atlantic) in the Atlantic, and RAMA (Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction) in the Indian Ocean. The Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array Program is a contribution to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), and the Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS). This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed 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 quarterly https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:PMEL-Global_Tropical_Moored_Buoy_Array Preview graphic PNG 0000617 0000699 0000727 0000945 0001364 0001368 0001376 0002071 0002205 0002644 0002732 0010013 0012630 0012641 0014392 0026409 0034376 0037898 0040203 0043260 0046031 0046088 0050187 0052936 0055586 0058700 0060951 0063530 0066894 0067649 0069619 0071976 0074921 0078569 0078936 9900059 9900060 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 1999-05-14 publication AIR TEMPERATURE AIR TEMPERATURE - DRY BULB AIR TEMPERATURE - WET BULB BAROMETRIC PRESSURE cloud amount/frequency cloud type CURRENT DIRECTION CURRENT METER - EAST-WEST COMPONENT (U) CURRENT METER - NORTH-SOUTH COMPONENT (V) CURRENT SPEED DEPTH - BOTTOM DEPTH - OBSERVATION HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE OXYGEN PRECIPITATION RELATIVE HUMIDITY SALINITY SEA STATE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE SHORTWAVE RADIATION - REFLECTED SIGMA-T surface irradiance per day surface irradiance per incubation period VISIBILITY water depth WATER TEMPERATURE WEATHER WIND DIRECTION WIND SPEED theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS ADCP buoy buoy - moored buoy conductivity sensor CTD current meter humidity sensor meteorological sensor thermistor instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS continuous current measurements meteorological physical profile surface measurements time series theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS FIXED PLATFORM OF UNITED STATES moored buoys NOAA Ship Ka'imimoana NOAA Ship Ronald H.

Environmental Information NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental 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. buoy buoy generic type of floating instrumentation package buoy - moored buoy buoy - moored buoy a moored buoy does not measure anything. it is a platform for instruments, which do measure things. conductivity sensor conductivity sensor OMEGA non-contact conductivity sensor CDCN-108 or Honeywell DirectLine DL423 Sensor Module, for example Water conductivity sensors are used to measure how well a solution conducts an electrical current. CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe current meter current meter current meter humidity sensor humidity sensor HUMIDITY SENSORS are devices that receive a signal or stimulus (as heat or pressure or light or motion etc.) and responds to it, in this case humidity or some measure of the water vapor content of air. meteorological sensor meteorological sensor Any meteorological sensor, but also see specific instruments such as aerovane, anemometer, etc. thermistor thermistor electronic temperature sensor thermally sensitive resistor FIXED PLATFORM OF UNITED STATES FIXED PLATFORM OF UNITED STATES moored buoys created for MOORED BUOYS OF ITALY, but became used as a generic MOORED BUOY keyword. see platforms_id 13759.
