Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature and derived water turbulence quantities measured by chipod thermistor chain on the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean, TAO, array at 0N, 110W in the equatorial Pacific Ocean from 2005-09-23 to 2017-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0191357)

This dataset contains water temperature and derived turbulence quantities inferred from spectral scaling of fast thermistor chain data. These variables were measured in situ with chipod instruments mounted onto a mooring line from the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) Array in the equatorial Pacific Ocean at 0N,110W. The data spans 2005-09-23 to 2017-12-31, with gaps, at 9, 19, 29, 40, and 49 m depth. Data are in NetCDF.
