Ship data collected along the track during R/V Oceanus cruises OC296, OC301, and OC303 in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank as part of the U.S. GLOBEC program in 1997 (GB project)

<h2>Oceanus Cruises: 296, 301 and 303<br />
Shipboard meteorology and sea surface measurements<br />
along the ship's track</h2>

<p><strong>Note:</strong><br />
I (Jim Manning) suggest that investigators use Dick Payne's version of OCEANUS alongtrack data. The raw data I post here was processed primarily while underway and has obvious problems. There are unrealistic (sometimes negative) temperature and eratic salinity. Winds are of especially poor quality as noted below.<br />
<br />
I have been delayed in getting this data on-line because I am not happy with my \"corrected\" wind (with ships motion removed) and, I am still not comfortable with posting the corrected wind so I have added a comment on the fact that it is questionable. I have notified the OCEANUS SSSG people about this problem. In the meantime I suggest that any one interested in wind for these periods use the NOAA buoy winds or Dick Paynes OCEANUS alongtrack data instead.</p>
