Global Near Real-Time Temperature and Salinity Profile Data from the GTSPP project from 20 January 2003 to 21 February 2003 (NODC Accession 0000933)

Physical, current, meteorological, and other data were collected from XBT casts, buoys, and other instruments from a World-Wide distribution. Data were collected from 20 January 2003 to 21 February 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.

本数据集采集了全球范围内投弃式温盐深剖面仪（Expendable Bathythermograph, XBT）剖面观测、浮标及其他观测设备获取的物理、海流、气象及其他相关数据。数据采集时段为2003年1月20日至2003年2月21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（Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography, Argo）、墨西哥湾美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）/美国国家海洋渔业局（National Marine Fisheries Service, NMFS）自愿观测船（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。其中，物理参数涵盖温度与盐度剖面数据；海流参数包含流向与流速信息；气象数据则包括干球温度、风速、风向、相对湿度及气压数据。
