Woods Hole Science Center
with data available via the OPeNDAP framework
|
This server contains time series oceanographic data collected by USGS investigators at the Woods Hole Science Center, often in collaboration with others, as part of experiments to study circulation and sediment transport in the coastal ocean. The experiments were carried out between 1975 and present. Variables include current, temperature, pressure, conductivity, light transmission (beam atttenuation) and others. Data is available at the fastest instrument sampling interval and as hourly averages. The data format is the EPIC netCDF standard defined by the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. NetCDF is a general, self-documenting, machine-transportable data format created and supported by UCAR ( http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/). EPIC ( http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/epic/) is a set of standards which allow researchers from different organizations to share oceanographic data without having to translate "foreign" data types into the local vernacular. The OPeNDAP (formerly DODS) framework allows users to access data from anywhere on the internet using a variety of different client/server methods. See also http://www.opendap.org/ for a complete description of OPeNDAP. |
