Description:

Abstract:

Time-series oceanographic data for the Northeast Atlantic outer continental shelf, Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) or used in conjunction with USGS projects. These data are stored as NetCDF files using conventions developed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) lab to be compatible with their EPIC system.
Variables present in the files include: ocean current, temperature, pressure, conductivity, light transmission (beam attenuation) and others.

Purpose:

To describe and quantify oceanographic processes and how they effect sediment transport and biologic productivity

Supplemental_Information:

Available data sets for the Gulf of Maine region: * Argo Merchant Experiment (Mar-Apr 1977) * Ecology of Harmful Algal Blooms I (ECOHAB) (Mar-Sep 1993 and 1994) * Ecology of Harmful Algal Blooms II (ECOHAB) (Mar-Sep 1998 and 2000) * Georges Bank (May 1975- Sep 1984) * GLOBEC Georges Bank (Mar-Aug 1999) * GLOBEC Great South Channel (Jan-Aug 1997) * Gulf of Maine (Jul 1975 - Feb 1987) * Lydonia Canyon (Oct 1980 - Nov 1982) * Oceanographer Canyon (Jan 1982 - Jul 1982)
