Summary
Abstract: The Summary Climatological Data (SCD) (DSI-3101) is a digital data set at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Data is taken in real-time from the US National Weather Service (NWS) NOAAPort service. (NOAAPort is the satellite broadcast service for NOAA real-time data.) Information contained in DSI-3101 includes: 24hr Maximum Temperature, 24hr Minimum Temperature, 24hr Precipitation, Cloud Cover and Type, Duration of Sunshine, Depth of New Snow, Depth of Snow on Ground, Water Equivalent of Snow on Ground, Tide data and Present Weather.

Purpose: To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public.

Quality All data are usable. However, sampling was not ideal owing to a considerable delay between collection of water samples in the Niskin bottles and subsampling for optical measurements: sedimentation of the sample in the Niskin bottle and photoadaptation by the algae almost certainly occurred to varying extents at each station.

Water samples were taken from each CTD cast at between 1 and 3 depths per station.
