Description

These data from an AirMar Weather Station include temperature, pressure, average wind speed, and average wind direction collected by the AUV Honey Badger (Wave Glider model V2) during a deployment in May of 2015 in the North Pacific Ocean.

Additional support was provided by the PacX Challenge from Liquid Robotics, Inc.

Methods & Sampling

The AUV Honey Badger is a Wave Glider(R) (model SV2) from Liquid Robotics. It was deployed from the Island of Hawai'i in May of 2015 as part of Mesoscale Features Aggregate Interactions (MAGI) project. The trackline is in the North Pacific Ocean and passes the ocean time-series station ALOHA.

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* blank values replaced with no data value 'nd'
* values of "NaN" and "nan" changed to "nd"
* latitude and longitude were rounded to 5 decimal places from 12
