Barometric pressure and other data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico as part of the Louisiana-Texas (LATEX part B) Gulf of Mexico Eddy Circulation Study. LATEX B was carried out by researchers at Louisiana State University (LSU). Originator data from the R/V PELICAN cruise P942 was submitted to NODC by Ms. Marie Newman of LSU.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) project funded by grant No. MMS 14-35-0001-30501. Data were collected from Ship GYRE cruises 94G02, 94G03 and 94G05. The data were collected from May 11, 1994 to July 20, 1994. Data from 11 CTD stations and 29 XBT drops were submitted on three diskettes by Dr. Douglas C. Biggs, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.

The depth, temperature, salinity, and oxygen data in this accession were provided by the Chinese National Oceanographic Data Center during 4th meeting of US/PRC Joint Coordination Panel for Data and Information Cooperation as part of World Ocean Circulation Experiment. Data were collected between January 1988 and February 1993 using ships XIANG YANG HONG 09, SHI YAN 3, and XIANG YANG HONG 05. The CTD data were submitted on two tapes and four diskettes.

The salinity, depth, conductivity and temperature data in this accession were provided by the Chinese National Oceanographic Data Center via File Transfer Protocol. Data were collected between November 1992 and December 1993 using ships HAI JIAN 73, HAI JIAN 47, HAI JIAN 40, and HAI JIAN 71.

Mechanical bathythermograph profile data in this accession were collected between February 22, 1941 and October 18, 1972 in the North Pacific Ocean. 87,878 profiles of data were submitted by J.S. Sarupria of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA on one tape in UBT format. The data were received from Roger Bauer via File Transfer Protocol.

This dataset contains chemical and physical profile data containing measurements of depth, salinity and temperature collected between May 1986 and April 1989. Data were submitted on a diskette containing 12 files by Dr. Richard Feely of Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, Seattle, WA. Files were received by NODC via Ocean Climate Laboratory. Refer to publication "Murphy, et al, NOAA Tech. Memo ERL PMEL-101" for more details.

This dataset includes surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from HUDSON, KNORR, NOAA Ship MALCOLM BALDRIGE, MELVILLE, POLARSTERN, THOMAS G.

The blended Rain Rate (RR) product is derived from multiple sensors/satellites. The blended products were merged from polar-orbiting and geostationary satellite sensors including: AMSU/MHS onboard the NOAA and MetOp satellite series; SSMIS onboard the DMSP satellite series; ATMS onboard S-NPP and NOAA-20; Sounder onboard the GOES satellite series; and GPS Met onboard Orbview-1. Individual biases of the data sources have been mitigated to produce a more meteorologically significant product.

Huricane Satellite (HURSAT)-Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is used to extend the HURSAT data set such that appling the Objective Dvorak technique (ODT) would be possible. AVHRR Global Area Coverage (GAC) data have a spatial resolution of 4km, which corresponds to the intended spatial resolution of the objective Dvorak technique. GAC digital image data is available in mapped mosaics, orbital swaths and brightness composties. The AVHRR is a 4/5 channel radiometer with spectral bands in the visible, near infrared, and thermal infrared.

This Level-3 (L3) Environmental Data Record (EDR) provides Global (4 km) and Regional (1 km) Green Vegetation Fraction (GVF) detected with the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21. This weekly product is used as an input to land surface models and numerical weather predicton (NWP) models. The data are produced by the NOAA Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and distributed by the Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) in the NetCDF-4 file format with metadata attributes included.
