browse graphicPreview graphic
This dataset contains the edited ship's underway weather data collected in the Chukchi Sea during the 9 August - 3 September 2015 Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise. The dataset is a .dat file consisting of wind direction, wind speed, air temperature, humidity, pressure, and travel speed measured at 15-second intervals along the ship' course.

Purpose The goal of the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) project is to demonstrate and build an operational marine biodiversity observing network from microbes to whales, integrating diversity levels from genetic to organismal. AMBON is funded through the National Ocean Partnership Program, with contributions from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (BOEM), Shell Exploration and Production Company, and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The AMBON field region is located on the Chukchi Sea continental shelf in the US Arctic as a region exposed to climatic changes and anthropogenic influences. AMBON is composed of a team of multi-institutional and multi-sector partners active in a variety of Arctic biodiversity observing programs and covering disciplines ranging from genetic to organismal to ecosystem. This project aims to characterize the hydrographic conditions of water entering the Chukchi Sea from the Pacific through Bering Strait.

Output Datasets
Lineage information for: dataset
Processing Steps
  • Parameter or Variable: WIND DIRECTION (measured); Units: degrees; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: meteorological sensors; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Relative wind is the direction of movement of the atmosphere relative to the vessel measured in degrees; Data Quality Method: Accuracy was ensured by reviewing and editing the data in the field on a daily basis. Due to poor weather, the ship anchored on 17, 26 and 28 August and 4 September,so no observation effort occurred on those days (2015).
  • Parameter or Variable: WIND SPEED (measured); Units: knot; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: meteorological sensors; Sampling and Analyzing Method: The wind speed experienced by an observer; Data Quality Method: Accuracy was ensured by reviewing and editing the data in the field on a daily basis. Due to poor weather, the ship anchored on 17, 26 and 28 August and 4 September,so no observation effort occurred on those days (2015).
  • Parameter or Variable: BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (measured); Units: millibar; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: meteorological sensors; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Atmospheric pressure; Data Quality Method: Accuracy was ensured by reviewing and editing the data in the field on a daily basis. Due to poor weather, the ship anchored on 17, 26 and 28 August and 4 September,so no observation effort occurred on those days (2015).
  • Parameter or Variable: AIR TEMPERATURE (measured); Units: degrees C; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: meteorological sensors; Sampling and Analyzing Method: The ambient air temperature; Data Quality Method: Accuracy was ensured by reviewing and editing the data in the field on a daily basis. Due to poor weather, the ship anchored on 17, 26 and 28 August and 4 September,so no observation effort occurred on those days (2015).
