Description | |
Summary | The data set resulted from an oceanographic survey designed to support the NEAT GIN 89 (September 1989) survey, but also covering the Iceland-Faroes frontal zone. Data collected include thermistor chain, navigation, meteorology, sea surface temperature (from thermistor probe and radiometer), XBT, CTD and shipborne ADCP. Data were collected by the Applied Oceanography Section of the Sonar Performance Division at DRA, Portland. Thermistor chain, sea surface temperature (from thermistor probe and radiometer), XBT, navigation and meteorology data are stored in the DRA archive system and have been processed to the DRA standard MIDAS user data file format. These data have been screened for format and data errors and corrected to produce a 'clean' data set. The CTD and ADCP data are also stored in the division archive; the latter have been converted to MIDAS format, but, as yet, none have been screened. |
