gov.noaa.ncdc:C00002 National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Unknown tabular digital data http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov This digital data set is archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Buoys that collect the data make up the US Coastal Marine station group and are monitored by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC). NCDC archives only data of meteorological interest from the buoys. Oceanographic data is archived by the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The geographic coverage of the buoys is the Great Lakes, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, and Hawaiian Islands areas. Data from 1970 to the present are available. Parameters are: Air and dew point temperature (Deg. C to 10ths), sea level pressure (mb to 10ths), wind direction (deg to 10ths), wind speed (m/s to 100ths), current weather (coded), visibility (nm to 10ths), precipitation (accumulation in mm), solar radiation (if available, in langleys/min), sea surface temperature (deg C to 100ths), significant wave height (m to 10ths) and average wave period (sec to 10ths). To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. data set C00002 ANEMOMETERS BAROMETERS PRESSURE SENSORS PYRHELIOMETERS TEMPERATURE PROBES TEMPERATURE SENSORS THERMOMETERS WAVE HEIGHT GAUGES C-MAN > Coastal Marine Network National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce 19700101 Present Ground Condition In work As Needed -180.0 -60.0 65.0 15.0 ISO 19115 Topic Category climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 004 oceans 014 DIF Discipline Keyword Thesaurus Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Meteorology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Climatology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Weather Earth Sciences > Ocean > Oceanography GCMD Sciences Keyword Valids EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > AIR QUALITY > VISIBILITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > SEA LEVEL PRESSURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > SURFACE AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > DEW POINT EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION > PRECIPITATION AMOUNT EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE > SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > WAVE PERIOD EARTH SCIENCE > SPECTRAL/ENGINEERING > VISIBLE WAVELENGTHS > VISIBLE FLUX GCMD Location Valids MID-LATITUDE GREAT LAKES GULF OF ALASKA GULF OF MEXICO NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN GCMD Location Valids TROPOSPHERE SEA SURFACE Coastal Marine Network C-MAN ANEMOMETERS Coastal Marine Network C-MAN BAROMETERS Coastal Marine Network C-MAN PRESSURE SENSORS Coastal Marine Network C-MAN TEMPERATURE PROBES Coastal Marine Network C-MAN TEMPERATURE SENSORS Coastal Marine Network C-MAN THERMOMETERS Coastal Marine Network C-MAN WAVE HEIGHT GAUGES Coastal Marine Network C-MAN WIND VANES Coastal Marine Network C-MAN PYRHELIOMETERS 1 None None Not provided Unknown Completeness information not available.
