Marine Meteorological Data from R/V Ramon Margalef, 2023

R/V Ramon Margalef was built in 2012 for oceanographic research purposes. It mainly operates around the Iberian Peninsula and Canary island waters. Since the beginning of its operations, an automatic weather station has been continuously collecting marine meteorological data every minute, both at open sea and in port. The collected data are sent directly to the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) Data Center / National Oceanographic Data Center for delayed mode quality control and long-term archive. Recently, a semi-automatic process has been used to perform quality control and assessment of the data. Controlled data are stored in a standard MEDAR/MEDATLAS format, and the corresponding quality flag has been added to each individual measurement. This facilitate their reusing for different purposes, from climatology or academical studies to industrial sector needs, between others. In 2023, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction and solar radiation were collected.

R/V Ramon Margalef号于2012年建成，旨在开展海洋学研究。该船主要在伊比利亚半岛及加那利群岛海域开展作业。自投入运营起，船上搭载的自动气象站（Automatic Weather Station）便持续以每分钟一次的频率采集海洋气象数据，无论在公海还是港口均不间断。采集数据直接传输至西班牙海洋研究所（IEO）数据中心/国家海洋学数据中心，用于延迟模式质量控制（delayed mode quality control）及长期存档。近期，研究人员采用半自动流程（semi-automatic process）对数据进行质量控制与评估。经过质控的数据以标准MEDAR/MEDATLAS格式存储，且每条独立测量数据均附加相应质量标志（quality flag）。此举便于数据在多场景下复用，涵盖气候学研究、学术探索及工业领域需求等。2023年采集的数据包括大气压力、气温、相对湿度、风速风向及太阳辐射。
