Massachusetts Bay Time Series Data
These data series are referenced in the Geyer et al. draft
final report: "Physical Oceanographic Investigation of Massachusetts and
Cape Cod Bays."
The following list of filenames conform to the "generic filename",
which consists of:
(1) First two characters - mooring ID;
(2) Next two digits - sensor depth in meters (m);
(3) Next one (or two) digits - measurement type;
(4) Next digit for deployment number (there were several)
(5) The extension indicates the hourly sample interval, except for:
weather buoys, Doppler currents, river discharges, and heat flux.
Mooring Locations:TX: X-component of wind stress (TY is Y-component) (dynes/cm**2)
PR: Atmospheric pressure (decibars)
E: E-component of water current (N is north component) (cm/s)
T: Temperature (deg C)
S: Salinity (psu)
PRS: Bottom pressure (decibars)
TMP: Bottom temperature (deg C)
