Dataset: Data from mooring deployed on Northeast Peak in the Georges Bank, Northeast Peak in 1999

GLOBEC Georges Bank Long-term Moored Array Component

N.E. Peak Mooring Site
41 44' N, 66 32' W

One deployment was made in 1999 at this site, Mar 12. 1999 to Aug 14 1999. (Dates reflect dates of data not deployment time)

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.
