Meteorological, oceanographic, wave spectra, and other data from FIXED PLATFORMS from the North Atlantic Ocean and other location from 01 November 1991 to 30 November 1991 (NODC Accession 9200005)

Meteorological, oceanographic, wave spectra, and other data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS in the North Atlantic Ocean and other locations. Data were collected by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) from 01 November 1991 to 30 November 1991. Data were processed by NODC to the standard NODC F291-Meteorology, Oceanography, and Wave Spectra from Buoys format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f291.html. Links to digital data are not available at this time. An analog file is available from NODC user services.

The F291 format is used to report meteorological, oceanographic, and wave spectra data from NDBC moored buoys and fixed land stations. The format contains thirteen data record types to: 1) Identify the buoy position and other descriptive information; 2) report the meteorological measurements; 3) report wave energy spectra and wave direction; 4) report subsurface physical, biological and chemical oceanographic measurements; and 5) report detailed information on continuously measured wind speed and direction. Each record is 120 characters in length, sorted by station and record type. Record type is omitted where data defined in that type and not measured. The first nine columns for all records are to be used for file type (columns 1-3) and file identifier (columns 4-9). The file identifier, assigned by the originator, is a unique originator id for each data submission. After submission, the NODC reassigns to this field a unique and NODC identifier for internal use.

本数据集涵盖气象、海洋学、波谱及其他类型数据，采集自北大西洋及其他区域的固定平台。数据由国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NDBC）于1991年11月1日至1991年11月30日采集完成，后由国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）处理为标准的NODC F291浮标气象、海洋学及波谱数据格式。完整的格式说明可从NODC官网获取，网址为www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f291.html。目前暂未提供数字数据的下载链接，用户可通过NODC用户服务部门获取模拟数据文件。

F291格式用于上报来自NDBC系泊浮标与固定陆地测站的气象、海洋学及波谱数据。该格式包含13种数据记录类型，分别用于：1）标识浮标位置及其他描述性信息；2）上报气象观测数据；3）上报波浪能谱与浪向信息；4）上报水下物理、生物及化学海洋学观测数据；5）上报连续观测的风速与风向详细信息。每条记录长度为120个字符，按测站及记录类型排序。若某记录类型对应的观测数据未实际采集，则省略该记录类型字段。所有记录的前九列预留为文件类型（第1-3列）与文件标识符（第4-9列）。文件标识符由数据提交方指定，为每次数据提交的唯一提交方标识。数据提交至NODC后，该字段会被重新赋值为供内部使用的唯一NODC标识符。
