Global Near Real-Time Temperature and Salinity Profile Data from the GTSPP project from 21 April 2003 to 14 May 2003 (NODC Accession 0001027)

Physical, current, meteorological, and other data were collected from XBT casts, buoys, and other instruments from a World-Wide distribution. Data were collected from 21 April 2003 to 14 May 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.

本数据集涵盖物理、海流、气象及其他类型观测数据，采集自全球分布的抛投式温盐深剖面仪（XBT）投放作业、浮标及其他观测仪器。数据采集时段为2003年4月21日至2003年5月14日。本数据集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计划（Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography, Argo）、墨西哥湾美国国家海洋和大气管理局/国家海洋渔业局志愿观测船计划（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。物理参数包含温度与盐度剖面。海流参数涵盖流向与流速。气象数据包含干球温度、风速、风向、相对湿度及大气压强。
