In situ, navigational, physical and profile data collected by University of California - San Diego; Scripps Institution of Oceanography at OceanSITES site MOVE4 from 2000-02-04 to 2014-12-18 (NCEI Accession 0130044)

In situ, navigational, physical and profile oceanographic data were collected, including CURRENT DIRECTION, CURRENT SPEED, DEPTH - OBSERVATION, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE and WATER TEMPERATURE from Moored Buoy at the Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment (MOVE4) using current meter from 2000-02-04 to 2014-12-18. These data were provided to one of the OceanSITES Data Assembly Centers (DAC). The DAC formatted this information into the OceanSITES file format and passed it on to the Global Data Assembly Centers (GDAC).

OceanSITES is a worldwide system of long-term, open-ocean reference stations measuring dozens of variables and monitoring the full depth of the ocean from air-sea interactions down to the seafloor. It is a network of stations or observatories measuring many aspects of the ocean's surface and water column using, where possible, automated systems with advanced sensors and telecommunications systems, yielding high time resolution, often in real-time, while building a long record.

本数据集采集了原位、导航、物理及剖面海洋学数据，涵盖流向（CURRENT DIRECTION）、流速（CURRENT SPEED）、观测深度（DEPTH - OBSERVATION）、静水压（HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE）、纬度（LATITUDE）、经度（LONGITUDE）及水温（WATER TEMPERATURE）。数据采集时段为2000年2月4日至2014年12月18日，数据源为安装于经向翻转环流变异性试验（Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment, MOVE4）锚定浮标的海流计。相关数据已提交至其中一家海洋观测站数据汇集中心（OceanSITES Data Assembly Centers, DAC），该中心将数据整理为OceanSITES文件格式后，转交至全球数据汇集中心（Global Data Assembly Centers, GDAC）。

海洋观测站网络（OceanSITES）是一个全球性的长期开放海洋参考站系统，可测量数十项海洋变量，监测从海气相互作用至海底的全海洋水柱剖面。该网络通过配备先进传感器与通信系统的自动化观测系统（可行条件下优先采用），对海洋表层及水柱的多项参数进行监测，可获取高时间分辨率的观测数据（通常为实时数据），同时积累长期观测序列。
