Wave motion data from the Wave Glider AUV Honey Badger from June to November of 2015 collected during a Eastern North Pacific Ocean deployment (MAGI project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

These data from the Datawell BV's wave motion sensor (MOSE) include wave height, period, and direction. The MOSE sensor was included on the AUV Honey Badger deployment in the North Pacific Ocean from June to November of 2015 which passed the ocean time-series station ALOHA.

For more information on project MAGI and a description of Honey Badger, see: http://oceanview.pfeg.noaa.gov/MAGI/

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 Hawaii in May of 2015 as part of Mesoscale Features Aggregate Interactions (MAGI) project.

Data Processing Description

These data are raw telemetry data obtained through the Wave Glider management system at Liquid Robotics, International.

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
* This data version 2017-06-05 is an update of the 2016-08-16 as it includes a longer date range in the data. Extended from start date 2015-10-17 to start date 2015-05-28. This data version also fills in gaps in the data as well
