Global Near Real-Time Temperature and Salinity Profile Data from the GTSPP project from 10 March 2003 to 14 April 2003 (NODC Accession 0000987)

Physical, current, meteorological, and other data were collected from XBT casts, buoys, and other instruments from a World-Wide distribution. Data were collected from 10 March 2003 to 14 April 2003. Data were submitted by the Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) in support of the Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography (Argo), the Gulf of Mexico NOAA/NMFS Ship of Opportunity (SOOP), and the Global Temperature-Salinity Pilot Project (GTSPP). Physical parameters include profiles of temperature and salinity. Current parameters include current direction and speed. Meteorological data include dry bulb temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, and air pressure.

本数据集依托全球分布的投弃式温盐深剖面仪（XBT）、浮标及其他观测设备，采集了物理、海流、气象及其他类别的观测数据。数据采集时段为2003年3月10日至2003年4月14日。数据由海洋环境数据服务中心（Marine Environmental Data Service, MEDS）提交，用于支撑实时地转海洋学阵列（Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography, Argo）、墨西哥湾NOAA/NMFS 机会航船计划（Ship of Opportunity, SOOP）以及全球温盐剖面试点项目（Global Temperature-Salinity Pilot Project, GTSPP）的相关工作。其中物理参数涵盖温度与盐度剖面；海流参数包含流向与流速；气象数据则包括干球温度、风速、风向、相对湿度与大气压强。
