Online_Linkage: https://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/ 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) Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 1975 Ending_Date: 2000 Currentness_Reference: ground condition Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: As needed Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -71.31 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -66.74 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 47.67 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 42.85 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: USGS Metadata Identifier Theme_Keyword: USGS:0fc0b366-a677-467f-92f5-dfb83dc54e15 Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) SCIENCE PARAMETERS Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > SEA LEVEL PRESSURE Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > SURFACE PRESSURE Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > AIR TEMPERATURE Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > SURFACE AIR TEMPERATURE Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN CHEMISTRY > OXYGEN Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN CIRCULATION > OCEAN CURRENTS Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN OPTICS > ATTENUATION/TRANSMISSION Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN PRESSURE > SEA LEVEL PRESSURE Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN PRESSURE > WATER PRESSURE Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE > WATER TEMPERATURE Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > WAVE HEIGHT Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > WAVE SPEED DIRECTION Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WINDS > SURFACE WINDS Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SALINITY/DENSITY > CONDUCTIVITY Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SALINITY/DENSITY > DENSITY Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SALINITY/DENSITY > SALINITY Theme_Keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SALINITY/DENSITY > POTENTIAL DENSITY Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) INSTRUMENT Theme_Keyword: ANEMOMETERS Theme_Keyword: BAROMETERS Theme_Keyword: CONDUCTIVITY METERS Theme_Keyword: CTD > CONDUCTIVITY, TEMPERATURE, DEPTH Theme_Keyword: CURRENT METERS Theme_Keyword: INCLINOMETERS Theme_Keyword: PRESSURE GAUGES Theme_Keyword: PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS Theme_Keyword: STD > SALINITY, TEMPERATURE, DEPTH Theme_Keyword: THERMISTORS Theme_Keyword: THERMOMETERS Theme_Keyword: TRANSMISSOMETERS Theme_Keyword: WIND VANES Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: PROJECT Theme_Keyword: DODS > DISTRIBUTED OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA SYSTEM Theme_Keyword: ESIP > EARTH SCIENCE INFORMATION PARTNERS PROGRAM Theme_Keyword: OPENDAP > OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT FOR A NETWORK DATA ACCESS PROTOCOL Theme_Keyword: GOMODP > GULF OF MAINE OCEAN DATA PARTNERSHIP Theme_Keyword: GLOBEC > GLOBAL OCEAN ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS, IGBP Theme_Keyword: IGBP > INTERNATIONAL GEOSPHERE-BIOSPHERE PROGRAMME Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: U.S. Geological Survey Theme_Keyword: USGS Theme_Keyword: Coastal and Marine Geology Program Theme_Keyword: CMGP Theme_Keyword: Woods Hole Science Center Theme_Keyword: WHSC Theme_Keyword: Air Temperature Theme_Keyword: Average Burst Pressure Theme_Keyword: Beam Attenuation Theme_Keyword: Current Direction (t) Theme_Keyword: Current Speed Theme_Keyword: Oxygen Theme_Keyword: Salinity Theme_Keyword: Sea Surface Temperature Theme_Keyword: Sigma T Theme_Keyword: Sigma Theta Theme_Keyword: Stand.
