GENERAL COMMENTS ENDEAVOR CRUISES: File: ENMET.TXT 20 July 1998 Edo depth error correction: replace bad value with previous value.EN259 - Standard processing. 17625 data records EN260 - Standard processing. 7641 data records. EN261 - Standard processing except added SSTHULL. SSTHULL is only SST in 15 & 60 minute averages. 14168 data records. EN262 - Standard Processing with SSTHULL. 22,489 records. EN263 - Standard Processing with SSTHULL. EN264 - Standard Processing with SSTHULL. 116,543 records. EN265 - Standard processing with all variables up to now plus long-wave radiation. 15,742 records. 5/12/98 - Reprocessed with later software which corrects the time base. One day gap from 109.6 to 110.6. EN266 - Standard processing with all variables up to now plus short-wave radiation except that the SW values should be divided by about 5. 18,198 records. EN267 - Very dirty. Had 3 gaps, one 11 hours with a few smatterings of data. Processed with interpolating form of ENMET. 39,198 records, 783 interpolated records. EN268 - Data gap 20:47:17 to 24:00:00 on last day. Filled it with linearly interpolated data. There was a problem with short wave formatting in raw data. Values > 999.9 read ****. Replaced garbage with 999.9 except for a few not near the middle of the day which were replaced with previous value. A number of gaps in Edo depth. 8465 records, 284 interpolated. EN269 - 12 hour gap in AT, RH, BP, LW on day 194. A few SW values of **** near mid day. Replaced them with 999.9. A number of gaps in Edo depth. 4946 records, 3 interpolated. EN276 - Data gap from 20:11:57 Jan 19 (19.84163) through 18:21:52 Jan 20 (20.76519). Linearly interpolated through it except for SW. Linear interpolation of SW from 19.84163 to zero at sunset, -4.0 until sunrise, linear interpolation to value at 20.76588. Edo depth had a lot of error values which were mostly correctible. 18,110 records, 1330 interpolated. EN278 - Air temp went below -9.9 for a few hours after the first midnight but the Endeavor format only had room for 4 characters so all those values were ****. Subsituted -9.9 for ****. The rest of the file was fairly clean. 18,053 records, 104 interpolated. EN280 - Very clean except that there is a gap from 0347-2155Z on 12 March (day 071) which I linearly interpolated all variables through. 15,266 records, 1089 interpolated. EN282 - Clean except there were about 20 overrange points in short wave radiation and the EDO depth was pretty noisy. 17,946 records, 0 interpolated. EN286 - Processed with ENMET286. RH very noisy. Edo depth had few values so I filled in with Chirp Sonar. Poor quality in combination. 30335 data records, 690 interpolated. EN287 - Clean except for noisy Edo depth. 26,990 data records, 22 interpolated EN288 - Pretty clean. 10,713 records, 15 interpolated. EN290 - Quite clean and short but SW,LW,EDOZ are all 0.0 throughout the file. 5181 records, 0 interpolated. EN292 - Very clean file. Almost no editing required. Only a few hours of Edo depth, however. 15017 records, 2 interpolated. EN293 - Very clean. No Edo depth. 8052 records, no interpolated. EN294 - Clean and short - 5 days. No interpolated records EN295 - Very clean. Little useful Edo depth. Blocks of both GPS data missing, but not simultaneously. 37,455 records, 4 interpolated. 6/9/98 - Wrote MET1MIN.FOR to interpolate EN295W.DAT to a 1 minute series on the minute for Beardsley. Output is EN295W1.DAT. EN296 - Second GPS missing through most of file. Not significant since I usually use the Trimble. About 2 hours of SW & LW data missing on day 69 in early afternoon. Heavy clouds so SW low and LW steady. Interpolated values. Only a very few Edo depth values. 18067 records, 8 interpolated. EN298 - 2:18 gap on day 97. Linearly interpolated through it. Almost no Edo depth data. 17822 records, 141 interpolated. EN301 - Clean, no interpolated values. Almost no Edo Z values and much Magellan GPS data missing. EN302 - Lots of Magellan GPS data missing in first few days. No useful EDO depth data. Otherwise pretty clean. EN303 - Good data. No Edo depths. EN307 - Good data. No Edo depths. Many big chunks of Magellan data missing. EN308 - Good data. Edo depth good. Much of Magellan data missing. Gap in data from 1305 to 2359 on day 299, 26 October. Linear interpolation through is OK for most variables but not for short-wave radiation since most of the gap is in the daytime. EN311 - Good data but no Edo depths. Much Magellan data missing. 7/17/98 - Corrected year day. EN319 - Excellent data but no useful Edo depths. EN320 - Excellent data but no useful Edo depths. EN321 - Excellent data but no useful Edo depths. 50 records had $HEHDT in the Edo depth field. Many records had missing gyro 2. Processed with only gyro 1. EN322 - Good data. Air temp noisy. Edo depth has useful data but not edited. EN323 - Good data. Air temp noisy. The noise has been traced to stack gases passing over the RH and AT sensors as the ship turns. This causes the AT to be momentarily anomalously high and the RH low. Edo depth not useful. EN324 - Combined with EN323 by Endeavor personnel. EN325 - Very clean data. RH goes up to 108 %RH. No Edo depths. GPS data from Trimble NAVTRAK, no Trimble TASMON data. OCEANUS CRUISES: OC295,296,297,298 had no SOG,COG from the GPS or GYRO OC301 and all after - SOG, COG computed from Lat/Lon OC315 - No gyro, set gyro = course made good from GPS OC331 - Went into port for 1 day in middle. Anemometer was turned on 1 day after it left port again. OC333 - Raw water depth included for first time but data were useless. OC341 - Anemometer died after 2 days. OC344 - Bad spot in SSCOND & SSAL on day 191 OC346 - Gap from 228.73-229.00 Summary quality notes at parameter level: 1995 Cruise Exp Spds Dirs AT RH BP SST EDOZ LWR SWR Comments EN259 GLOBEC OK OK OK >100 Good Peaks Gap EN260 GLOBEC Noisy OK OK OK Good Good Good EN261 GLOBEC OK Good Good Noisy Good Good Good EN262 GLOBEC Good OK Good Good Good Spikes --- EN263 GLOBEC Not processed yet EN264 GLOBEC Good Good Good Noisy Good Good Good EN265 GLOBEC Spikes ?
