gov.noaa.ncdc:C00356 National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Unknown tabular digital data http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov Marine Surface Observations - IMMT is digital data set DSI-1183 at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). IMMT is International Maritime Meteorological Tape. The IMMT format is the standard for marine meteorological data exchange around the world, and is approved by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). At NCDC, the data may be stored on digital media other than tapes, but the 131 character record format typical of IMMT remains. Data consists of moving and stationary ship observations from the seas and oceans of the world. Data includes: Ship location-course and speed Date and time Wind direction and speed Sea wave height and period Predominant sea swell height-period and direction Secondary sea swell height-period and direction Cloud types, heights, and amounts Visibility Precipitation Air temperature Dew point temperature Wet bulb temperature Sea temperature Sea level pressure Pressure tendency Present weather Past weather primary and secondary Ice accretion thickness and rate Sea ice development, concentration, motion, and bearing. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. data set C00356 ANEMOMETERS BAROMETERS CEILOMETERS HYGROMETERS ICE AUGERS PRESSURE SENSORS PSYCHROMETERS RAIN GAUGES TEMPERATURE SENSORS THERMOMETERS VISUAL OBSERVATIONS WAVE HEIGHT GAUGES WET BULB THERMOMETERS SHIPS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce 19941001 Present Ground Condition In work As Needed -180.0 180.0 90.0 -90.0 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 > PRESSURE TENDENCY 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 > CLOUDS > CLOUD AMOUNT/FREQUENCY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS > CLOUD HEIGHT EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS > CLOUD TYPES EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE > SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE > WATER TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > SWELLS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > WAVE HEIGHT EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > WAVE PERIOD EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SEA ICE > SEA ICE AGE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SEA ICE > SEA ICE CONCENTRATION EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SEA ICE > SEA ICE MOTION EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION AMOUNT GCMD Location Valids GLOBAL OCEAN GCMD Location Valids SEA SURFACE TROPOSPHERE SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS ANEMOMETERS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS BAROMETERS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS VISUAL OBSERVATIONS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS CEILOMETERS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS HYGROMETERS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS RAIN GAUGES SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS THERMOMETERS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS TEMPERATURE SENSORS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS WAVE HEIGHT GAUGES SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS PSYCHROMETERS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS ICE AUGERS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS PRESSURE SENSORS SEAS > Shipboard Environmental Aquisition System SHIPS WET BULB THERMOMETERS 1 None None Not provided Unknown Completeness information not available.
