Summary

Abstract: The Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response
Experiment (TOGA COARE) was a large international field experiment conducted in
1992-1993 to study the atmospheric and oceanic processes over the region of the
western Pacific known as the "warm pool". This is the region of warm ocean and
atmospheric clouds and precipitation that is linked to the El Nino ...

Where data for a particular sensor do not exist for a particular time, the last known value is used unless the sensor has been disabled or has encountered an error. For example, some sensors only record data every minute, but the resolution for the underway dataset is 10 seconds, so the same value will be used 6 times a minute. No averages are taken for sensors that capture data at a rate other than every 10 seconds. Instead, each record will be a snapshot of each sensor at that time.
