Dataset: Shipboard Standard Underway
Deployment: NBP1005

Underway Hydrographic, Weather and Ship-state Data (JGOFS) from Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1005 (2010)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Navigation system, Echosounder Sonar, Meteorological Sensor, Thermosalinograph, and Fluorometer during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP1005 conducted in 2010 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Patricia Yager).
These data files are of JGOFS format and include Bathymetry, Meteorological, Temperature, Conductivity, Salinity, Fluorescence, Infrared Radiation, Visible Radiation, and Navigation data.
This data set was created from calibrated data decimated at 1-minute intervals. Several fields are derived measurements from more than a single raw input.
Data were acquired as part of the project(s): ASPIRE (Amundsen Sea Polynya International Research Expedition), and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT08-39069.

Quality 0 - Data have not been processed or modified since acquisition (e.g. Realtime navigation or sonar data, raw images etc.).

BCO-DMO Processing Notes
 - Generated from MGDS:jgofs files dowloaded from MGDS data for NBP1005
 - Awk routine generated to reformat original files into BCO-DMO servable file format
 - Awk routine: "MGDS_Underway_jgofs_2_BCO-DMO.awk"
 - Parameter names generated from: JGOFSDataFormat.pdf
 - Parameter names edited to conform to BCO-DMO naming convention found at Choosing Parameter Name
 - Date reformatted from DD-MM-YY to YYYYMMDD
 - Time reformatted from HH:MM:SS to HHMMSS
 - Records with Lat/Lon values of "NAN" deleted
 - Tab separated data converted to comma separated data
