Dataset: Data from mooring deployed 1997 on Northeast Peak collected from the GB NEP Mooring NE_Peak, NEP_buoy_dep2 from the Georges Bank, Northeast Peak (GB project)

GLOBEC Georges Bank Long-term Moored Array Component N.E. Peak Mooring Site
41 44' N, 66 32' W

One deployment was made in 1997 at this site, Feb 18 to Jun 29 1997. (dates reflect dates of data not deployment time)

Note:
Sampling rates vary from instrument to instrument.

1. The nominal position of the mooring is the designed deployment site
   and actual deployments varied by about 0.5 nm around this position.
2. Sensor depths are nominal designed depths.  In water sensors vary
   around this designed depth by about 1 m, variation larger at greater
   distance below buoy.
3. Temperatures are listed in the IPTS68 standard, rather than IPT90.
4. Salinity conversion from conductivity was done with PSS78
5. Sensor normalization was done with pre-cruise calibrations, and checked
   with post-cruise calibrations.
6. Only minor editing has been done to remove spikes from records.
7. No corrections have been made to fluorometer and transmissometer data
   to remove biological fouling induced drift.
8. No corrections have been made to salinity for drifts due to biological
   fouling.
