Project Description

Meteorological data from U.S. research vessels are being collected and monitored for quality control and disseminated through the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System Data Assembly Center (SAMOS DAC) https://samos.coaps.fsu.edu/html/, which supports the NOAA Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing mission. Because sea operations have been curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a decline in incoming data; therefore, efforts are being redirected to review and update components of the data processing systems and developing procedures for the automated intake of instrument metadata. To date, observation data has been archived for 1,329 ship days from 16 NOAA and four other research vessels. These observations contribute to several marine products, including the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set and the Surface Underway Marine Database Portal.
