GATE was the first major international experiment of the GARP. It was conducted over the tropical Atlantic Ocean and adjacent land areas under the joint auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). The field operations extended from June through September 1974, with headquarters located in Dakar, Senegal. To better understand the tropics and their role in the circulation of the global atmosphere. 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 asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:GARP-GATE Preview graphic PNG 7400659 7400753 7400772 7400824 7500069 7500269 7600633 7600887 7601653 7601656 7601660 7601661 7601662 7601663 7601664 7601665 7601667 7601669 7601671 7601672 7601673 7601674 7601675 7601676 7601677 7601678 7601679 7601688 7601715 7617991 7617992 7617993 7617994 7617995 7617996 7700437 7700549 7700648 7700649 7700650 7700676 7700677 7700678 7700831 7800314 7900258 8000152 8200223 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 1980-12-20 publication AIR TEMPERATURE AIR TEMPERATURE - DRY BULB AIR TEMPERATURE - WET BULB BAROMETRIC PRESSURE cloud amount/frequency cloud type CONDUCTIVITY CURRENT DIRECTION CURRENT METER - EAST-WEST COMPONENT (U) CURRENT METER - NORTH-SOUTH COMPONENT (V) CURRENT SPEED DEPTH - BOTTOM DEPTH - OBSERVATION DEPTH - SENSOR DISSOLVED OXYGEN DYNAMIC DEPTH ANOMALY FLUORESCENCE HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE irradiance NITRATE OXYGEN Partial pressure (or fugacity) of carbon dioxide - atmosphere pH phosphate SALINITY SEA STATE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE Secchi depth SIGMA-T silicate SOUND VELOCITY SWELL DIRECTION SWELL HEIGHT SWELL PERIOD total alkalinity TOTAL PHOSPHORUS TRANSMISSIVITY VISIBILITY WATER COLOR WATER DENSITY water depth WATER TEMPERATURE WATER TRANSPARENCY WAVE HEIGHT WAVE PERIOD WEATHER WIND DIRECTION WIND FORCE WIND GUST WIND SPEED ZOOPLANKTON BIOMASS theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS anemometer bathythermograph - BT bathythermograph - MBT bathythermograph - XBT bottle buoy buoy - moored buoy CTD current meter - PCM echo sounder fluorometer meteorological sensor salinometer Secchi disk thermistor thermometer transmissometer instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS chemical continuous current measurements meteorological physical profile surface measurements time series theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS A.

The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all datasets on an ongoing basis.

The disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity.

(Anna Osypchuk 11/02/2015 00:00:00) Transliteration rules in USSR and Ukraine changed with time. To keep consistency in names, and to underline that the name was not changed together with the flag, we suggest to use the current spelling Viktor Bugayev for both vessel codes. The US NODC had it as 90VC VICTOR BUGAEV until 2009-04-17 when it was changed to 90VC VIKTOR BUGAYEV. At present, the US NODC platform table includes 90VC - VIKTOR BUGAYEV and URVC - VICTOR BUGAEV. (2010) Book: Russian Marine Expeditionary investigations of The world Ocean. Found call sign ERES for Viktor Bugaev. (2010) Information supplied by Alexey Khaliulin.
