This cruise will be composed of two separate legs. The first leg will be a transit from San Diego, CA to the Galapagos Spreading Center, where multibeam mapping, CTD casts, and CTD tow-yo operations will be performed. The ship will have a port call and science party change in Puntarenas, Costa Rica between July 2 and July 7, 2011. Following this port call, from July 7 - July 28, 2011, the ROV Little Hercules and camera sled Seirios, will investigate targets identified in Leg 1. Further multibeam mapping and CTD casts will also be performed. Leg 2 will end at Balboa, Panama.

This dataset contains ortho-rectified mosaic tiles, created as a product from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative of Lake Charles, Louisiana. The source imagery was acquired on November 23, 2009 and March 12, 2010. The true color images were acquired with an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). The ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 0.35 m. The original images were acquired at a higher resolution than the final ortho-rectified mosaic.

AERO-METRIC, INC. (AME) provided aerial photographic imagery collected by NOAA along the shoreline of Louisiana. The purpose of the imagery was to provide digital shoreline and orthophotos for NOAA nautical charts. The area covers the Barrier Islands of Terrebonne and Timbalier Bays on the coast of the State of Louisiana. The ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 1.0 m. Ortho-rectified mosaic tiles are not intended for mapping, charting or navigation.

Additional ortho-mosaic imagery is filed under separate NODC accession numbers.

This data set contains ortho-rectified mosaic tiles, created as a product from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative of Mississippi River - LaPlace to Venice. The source imagery was acquired on March 13, 2010, March 14, 2010 and March 15, 2010. The true color images were acquired with an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). The original images were acquired at a higher resolution than the final ortho-rectified mosaic. The ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 0.35 m. Ortho-rectified mosaic tiles are not intended for mapping, charting or navigation.

This data set contains ortho-rectified mosaic tiles, created as a product from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative of the Mississippi - La Place to Venice, specifically Empire, LA. The source imagery was acquired on March 13, 2010, March 14, 2010 and March 15, 2010. The true color images were acquired with an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS).

This data set contains ortho-rectified mosaic tiles, created as a product from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative. The source imagery was acquired on 20110315. The images were acquired with an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). The original images were acquired at a higher resolution than the final ortho-rectified mosaic. The ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 0.50 m.

This dataset is a large collection of temperature casts recorded by fast-response archival time-depth recorder tags on northern elephant seals during their natural migrations. Only ascents (upcasts) were retained to ensure a similar format to traditional ship-based casts.

Each file represents data from a single instrument on one adult female elephant seal. Temperature and depth data were obtained from data logging tags manufactured by Wildlife Computers (MK9 or MK10). Temperature and depth values are uncorrected, raw instrument readings.

This data set contains a set of monthly and yearly global day-night sea surface temperature averages, derived from the AVHRR Pathfinder Version 5 sea surface temperature cloudscreened data set in GeoTIFF format. The AVHRR Pathfinder SST data sets provide the longest, most accurate, and highest resolution consistently-reprocessed SST climate data record from the AVHRR sensor series. These data files were produced to facilitate the utilization of high resolution Pathfinder v5.0 sea surface temperature data within geographic information system (GIS) software.

Sea-Bird SBE37SM MicroCat Conductivity/Temperature (CT) recorders were deployed between March 2010 and April 2011 on shallow water moorings located in Vieques Sound, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Passage USVI. The recovered temperature, conductivity, and salinity (derived from temperature and conductivity) time-series data are presented here in an ACII format.
