Underway meteorological observations collected during the SPLASH experiment aboard R/V F.G. Walton Smith cruise WS17107 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2017-04-17 to 2017-04-29

This dataset contains along-track meteorological and water surface elevation measurements made on board the R/V F.G. Walton Smith cruise WS17107 from 2017-04-17 to 2017-04-29 as part of the SPLASH experiment during April-May 2017 in the Louisiana Bight. The meteorological flux measurements were made from twin masts mounted on the bow of the R/V Walton Smith and water surface elevation measurements made from an array of Ultrasonic Distance Meters. Some of the parameters reported in this dataset include speed over ground, vessel heading, air temperature and pressure, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, wind stress, significative wave height, and friction velocity. Additional information for R/V F.G. Walton Smith cruise WS17107 can be found in the R2R repository: https://www.rvdata.us/search/cruise/WS17107. This cruise was led by chief scientist Dr. Brian Haus.

本数据集包含2017年4月17日至29日期间，在2017年4-5月于路易斯安那湾开展的SPLASH实验框架下，由F.G. Walton Smith号科考船（R/V F.G. Walton Smith）WS17107航次采集的沿轨气象与水面高程实测数据。其中气象通量数据采集自安装于该船船首的双桅杆，水面高程数据则由一组超声波测距仪（Ultrasonic Distance Meters）阵列获取。本数据集报告的部分参数包括对地航速、船舶航向、空气温度与气压、相对湿度、风速与风向、风应力、有效波高以及摩擦速度。有关R/V F.G. Walton Smith号WS17107航次的更多详细信息，可查阅R2R资料库：https://www.rvdata.us/search/cruise/WS17107。本次航次由首席科学家Brian Haus博士主持。
