Endicott Development Project Environmental Monitoring Program data from 1985-07-22 to 1987-09-09 (NCEI Accession 9100072)

This dataset contains data from the Endicott Development Project Environmental Monitoring Program 1985-1987 including meteorology, oceanography, snow goose, fish (including habitat and overwintering), river discharge and breach, bathymetry, sedimentation and erosion, hydrography, and drifters data.

Data were collected from drifters, CTD, and other stations in the Beaufort Sea from 22 July 1985 to 09 September 1987. Data were collected by the US Army; Corps of Engineers (USACE). Current meter data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components format. Other data are in the originator file format(s); format documentation is included.

The F015 format contains time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent the Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed point and measure flow past a sensor. Position, bottom depth, sensor depth and meter characteristics are reported for each station. The data record includes values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) current vector components at specified date and time. Current direction is defined as the direction toward which the water is flowing with positive directions east and north. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10 - 15 minute time intervals. Water temperature, pressure and conductivity or salinity may also be reported. A text record is available for optional comments.

本数据集收录了来自恩迪科特开发项目环境监测计划1985至1987年的数据，涵盖气象学、海洋学、雪雁、鱼类（包括栖息地和越冬）、河流排放与溢流、海底地形、沉积与侵蚀、水文和水漂子数据。数据采集自1985年7月22日至1987年9月9日的波弗特海漂流浮标、CTD及其他监测站。数据由美国陆军工程兵团（USACE）收集；流速仪数据经国家海洋数据中心（NODC）处理，并转换为NODC标准的F015流速仪组件格式。其他数据保持原始文件格式；格式说明文档已包含在内。

F015格式包含海洋流的时间序列测量数据。这些数据来自流速仪的固定浮标，代表欧拉法测量电流，即仪器的部署在固定点，并测量通过传感器的水流。每个监测站均报告位置、底部深度、传感器深度和仪器特性。数据记录包括指定日期和时间东西（u）和南北（v）方向电流矢量的数值。水流方向定义为水流方向，其中向东和向北为正值。数据值可能受到平均或过滤的影响，通常以每10至15分钟的时间间隔报告。水温、压力和电导率或盐度也可能被报告。此外，还提供文本记录以供可选注释。
