Summary

Abstract: Time-series oceanographic data for the U.S. Southeast Atlantic continental
shelf (Georgia and South Carolina coast) collected by the USGS or used in
conjunction with USGS projects. These data are stored as NetCDF files using
conventions developed by NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL)
lab to be compatible with their EPIC system. The hourly data is available
online through the USGS Coastal Marine Time Series Browser
http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/. Variables include current, temperature,
pressure, conductivity, light transmission (beam attenuation) and others.

Available data sets for the South Atlantic Bight:

* South Atlantic Bight (Aug 1977 - Nov 1978)
* Wrightsville Beach (Mar-May 1996)
Cape Hatteras- Diamond Shoals (Jan - May 2009)
