Summary
Abstract:
DATA ACCESS TOGA COARE data is available from the TOGA COARE Data Information System http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/coare/index.html, the NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center http://www.nodc.noaa.gov, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO http://dss.ucar.edu/pub/toga_coare/. BACKGROUND TOGA COARE was a multidisciplinary, international research effort that ... investigated the scientific phenomena associated with the interaction between the atmosphere and the ocean in the warm pool region of the western Pacific. The field experiment phase of the program took place from 1 November 1992 through 28 February 1993 and involved the deployment of oceanographic ships and buoys, several ship and land- based Doppler radars, multiple low and high-level aircraft equipped with Doppler radar and other airborne sensors, as well as a variety of surface based instruments for in situ observations. The R/V Vickers drifted in the Intensive Flux Array near 2S, 156 15'E during the entire COARE IOP. In situ optical and physical data were collected during cruise leg 2 from 21 December 1992 to 19 January 1993. INSTRUMENTATION Data were obtained with the following sensors: - Biospherical Instruments (BSI) Underwater Multichannel Spectroradiometer, model MER-2040. Measures at 340, 380, 412, 443, 465, 490, 520, 540, 565, 589, 625, 665, and 683 nm; - BSI Abovewater Multichannel Spectroradiometer, model MER-2041. Measures same wavelengths as MER-2040; - BSI Scalar irradiance collectors (443 nm, 490 nm, 565 nm, PAR); - SeaBird temperature sensor, model SBE-3, #1242; - SeaBird conductivity sensor, model SBE-4, #942; - SeaTech 25 cm beam transmissometer, #480; - SeaTech chlorophyll fluorometers, #98S, #196, and #197; - SeaBird temperature sensor, SBE-3, #1236; - SeaBird conductivity sensor, SBE-4, #916; - General Oceanic Rosette system; - SeaBird CTD system, SBE-9, #21; - Eppley pyranometer, model PSP; - "All-sky" camera for cloud observations. DATA Profiles were taken at a rate of roughly three profiles per hour. A total of 86 parameters is available including temperature, salinity, conductivity, sigma-theta, beam transmission, in-situ fluorescence, downwelling and upwelling spectral irradiance at 13 different wavelengths, and downwelling and upwelling spectral attenuation coefficient at the same wavelenghts. The data have been binned into 1-meter bins. Records at 5-meter intervals were then extracted. In addition, daily average profiles of the fraction of the solar irradiance incident at the sea surface is available at depth (Enet(z)/Ed(0+)) along with standard deviation.
