HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, WATER TEMPERATURE and INSTRUMENT - DEPTH, and other data from FIXED PLATFORM from 1983-04-09 to 1983-07-01 (NCEI Accession 8400013)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-02-09T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset contains water temperature and pressure recorded by Aanderaa water level meter from R/V SWAN and moorings as part of the Santa Barbara Channel Circulation Model and Field Study from 4/9/83 to 7/13/83 by Science Applications, Inc. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Pressure Gauge (F017) format. The F017 format contains time series measurements of seawater pressure from anchored or bottom-mounted sensors. Measurements of variations at depth of seawater pressure provide information on tidal and storm flows, ocean circulation, and other phenomena that cause changes in sea surface elevation or slope and that can be detected from their pressure signature. Position, bottom depth, and gauge depth are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of total pressure at specified date and time. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at time intervals of 10-15 minutes. Seawater temperature may also be reported. Comments may be reported in a text record.
