FLEET DATA

Shipboard Sensor Database (NODC site) - A standard suite of shipboard sensor data (also known as underway data) from each NOAA ship with the Scientific Computer System (SCS) is sent periodically to NOAA's U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). These data include measurements of salinity and temperature from thermosalinographs, bottom depth, wind speed and direction, atmospheric temperature, pressure and humidity, position and date/time. The NODC archives, quality-controls, and loads these data into the Shipboard Sensor Database (SSD), which may be queried by date, position, and data type, and from which data may be downloaded.
