Meteorological, oceanographic, wave spectra, and other data from FIXED PLATFORMS from the North Atlantic Ocean and other locations in support of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project from 01 April 1985 to 16 April 1985 (NODC Accession 8500300)

Meteorological, oceanographic, wave spectra, and other data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS in the North Atlantic and other locations. Data were collected by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) in support of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) project from 01 April 1985 to 16 April 1985. Data were processed by NODC to the standard NODC F291-Meteorology, Oceanography, and Wave Spectra from Buoys format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f291.html. Links to digital data are not available at this time. An analog file is available from NODC user services.

The F291 format is used to report meteorological, oceanographic, and wave spectra data from NDBC moored buoys and fixed land stations. The format contains thirteen data record types to: 1) Identify the buoy position and other descriptive information; 2) report the meteorological measurements; 3) report wave energy spectra and wave direction; 4) report subsurface physical, biological and chemical oceanographic measurements; and 5) report detailed information on continuously measured wind speed and direction. Each record is 120 characters in length, sorted by station and record type. Record type is omitted where data defined in that type and not measured. The first nine columns for all records are to be used for file type (columns 1-3) and file identifier (columns 4-9). The file identifier, assigned by the originator, is a unique originator id for each data submission. After submission, the NODC reassigns to this field a unique and NODC identifier for internal use.

本数据集采集自北大西洋及其他区域的固定平台，涵盖气象、海洋学、海浪谱及其他相关数据。此类数据由美国国家数据浮标中心（National Data Buoy Center, NDBC）于1985年4月1日至1985年4月16日期间采集，用于支撑热带海洋全球大气（Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere, TOGA）项目。数据已由美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）处理为标准的NODC F291浮标用气象、海洋学与海浪谱格式。完整的格式说明可通过NODC官方网站www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f291.html获取。当前暂未提供数字数据的下载链接，用户可通过NODC用户服务部门获取模拟文件。

F291格式用于上报来自NDBC系泊浮标与固定陆地站的气象、海洋学及海浪谱数据。该格式共包含13种数据记录类型，分别用于：1）标识浮标位置及其他描述性信息；2）上报气象观测数据；3）上报海浪能谱与海浪方向信息；4）上报水下物理、生物及化学海洋学观测数据；5）上报连续观测的风速与风向详细信息。每条记录长度为120个字符，按测站与记录类型进行排序。若某类记录对应的实测数据缺失，则省略该记录类型。所有记录的前9列分别用于标注文件类型（第1至3列）与文件标识符（第4至9列）。文件标识符由数据提交方指定，为每次数据提交的唯一标识。数据提交至NODC后，该字段将被重新分配为用于内部管理的唯一NODC标识符。
