Underway - surface and physical data collected in the North Atlantic Ocean on the OCEANUS cruises OC296, OC301 and OC303 as part of the GB project from 1997-01-12 to 1997-05-23 (NODC Accession 0098912)

Oceanus Cruises: 296, 301 and 303
Shipboard meteorology and sea surface measurements
along the ship's track
Note:
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.

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.
