As part of the U.S. National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP), the Deep Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) Project is an ongoing effort to maintain and improve the capability for the early detection and real-time reporting of tsunamis in the open ocean. DART stations have been sited in regions with a history of generating destructive tsunamis to ensure early detection of tsunamis and to acquire data critical to real-time forecasts. DART systems consist of an anchored seafloor bottom pressure recorder (BPR) and a companion moored surface buoy for real-time communications. An acoustic link transmits data from the BPR on the seafloor to the surface buoy. The data are then relayed via a GOES satellite link to ground stations, which demodulate the signals for immediate dissemination to NOAA's Tsunami Warning Centers, NDBC, and PMEL. The National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) serves as the archive center for this data and provides the historical data to users.

Bottom Pressure Recorder: An acoustic modem, acoustic release unit and battery pack bolted to a platform, to which a disposable anchor, flotation, and recovery aids are attached
Depth
The ship-measured depth (meters) of the ocean at which the buoy was moored. The ship-measured depth is not as accurate as the BPR-measured pressure. To obtain the most precise depth, convert the bottom pressure to depth. If value is 99999, depth is unknown.

Paros_ducer
Paros transducer - measure change in water pressure above it.
63467: Serial Number of the Paros transducer
Board
Number that the engineers came up with for the electronic boards.
16: Board Number. If = 999, then board number not applicable, never existed or not recorded for this time.
Osc
Time measurement. NA = no time bases on the early models.
N/A: N/A or NULL indicates early models. There was time bases on the early models.
Deployment_UTC
Time (Coordinated Universal Time) that the gauge was deployed overboard
2207: Coordinated Universal Time - if value = 9999, UTC is unknown.
Deployment_JD
Calendar date that the instrument was deployed.
80: Julian day - if value = 999, exact deploy date is unknown.
Deployment Date
YYYYMMDD of deployment of BPR Package. The attribute may be left with only YYYY, if the month and day are unknown, or YYYYMM if the day is unknown. The value may be null.
20000320: YYYYMMDD
Recovered
Indicates if the BPR Package was recovered from the seafloor.
YES: None
Recovery_UTC
Time (Coordinated Universal Time) that the gauge was recovered.
Unknown: Coordinated Universal Time - if value = 9999, UTC is unknown.
Recovery_jd
Calendar date that the instrument was recovered.
180: Julian Day - if value = 999, exact recovery date is unknown.
Recovery_date
YYYYMMDD of recovery of BPR Package. The attribute may be left with only YYYY, if the month and day are unknown, or YYYYMM if the day is unknown. The value may be null.
20020629: YYYYMMDD - if value = 99999, exact recovery date is unknown.
Base
None
5000: If base = 99999, then it is not applicable.
Temp_corr
Temperature correction. In the later years, the engineers designed an MTR (mini temperature recorder) independant of the Paros Transducer measurement, which has a little lag.
999: If value = 999, MTR was not used.
Clock_drift
A check of the clock before the unit goes down and after it comes back up.
999: if value = 999, technician did not record value.
TR Pre
Measurement of drift
NULL: None
TR Post
Measurement of drift
NULL: None
Location
The location where the buoy was located.
N/A: N/A - if location information is not known.
Data_Qual
Quality of the data collected.
No quality information available: None
Comments
Comments on the recovery of the BPR package or the data collected.
"Fake Tsu: 20000417 17:00:00; GOES P=4039360, S=1403A6FA"
Deployment Platform
Abbreviation of ship name that was used to deploy the BPR package.
RB 00 06: Ship name and cruise number.
Recovery Platform
Abbreviation of ship name that was used to recover the BPR package.
Unknown: Ship name and cruise number, if NULL - unit not recovered.
