WATER TEMPERATURE and Other Data from 19920801 to 19930930 (NODC Accession 9600022)

The drifting buoy data from 28 drifting buoys in this accession was collected as part of Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) over a one year period between August 1, 1992 and September 30, 1993. Six French BODEGA drifters (SERPE-IESM, GUIDEL, 56, FRANCE TRISTAR) were deployed in August 1992 along the 165E meridian and in September 1992 along 156E. Seventeen additional BODEGA surface drifters were deployed in December 1992 and January/February 1993 from R/V Le Noroit along 156E, 4S-5N during the COARE Intensive Observation Period. Deployments were coordinated with a set of surface drifters that were released by Peter Niiler from the University of California, San Diego. Data was submitted by Yves Du Penhoat, Office de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique Outre Mer (ORSTOM), Noumea, New Caledonia via FTP. The data is accompanied by good description regarding format etc.

本次入库的28套漂流浮标数据，是耦合海洋-大气响应实验（Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment, COARE）在1992年8月1日至1993年9月30日为期一年的观测周期内采集所得。其中6套法国BODEGA型漂流浮标（SERPE-IESM、GUIDEL、56、FRANCE TRISTAR）于1992年8月沿165°E经线布放，同年9月沿156°E经线完成布放。另有17套BODEGA型水面漂流浮标，于1992年12月及1993年1月/2月期间，由‘勒诺阿号’（R/V Le Noroit）科考船在COARE强化观测期内，沿156°E经线、4°S至5°N海域布放。本次布放工作与加利福尼亚大学圣迭戈分校的彼得·尼勒（Peter Niiler）所释放的一批水面漂流浮标布放计划相协调。该数据由新喀里多尼亚努美阿的法国海外科学与技术研究办公室（Office de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique Outre Mer, ORSTOM）的伊夫·迪蓬奥（Yves Du Penhoat）通过文件传输协议（FTP）提交。本数据集附带关于数据格式等内容的详细说明文档。
