This object contains the original one minute meteorological data from several Endeavor cruises.
<p>

<h3>Processing Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>Concatenate daily 1 minute files into one file for whole cruise
<li>Edit file for obvious bad data, i.e., missing data, garbage
characters, etc.
<li>Run program which reformats data. Output parameters:<br>
   Year day, lat, long, Speed made good, course made good, gyro 1 & 2,
Edo speed, Edo indicator, port wind speed, starboard ws, port wind
azimuth, starboard waz, air temp, relative humidity, baarometric
pressure, sea surface temp @5m & 1m depth, Edo depth, Chirp sonar depth.
<li>Put plots of all parameters on screen and look for obvious single bad
points. Edit in basic concatenated file. Except I have not edited
depths.
<li>Iterate steps 2-4 until no more obvious bad points.
<li>Run second program which computes true wind speed and direction from
speed and course made good, gyros, larger of port or starboard ws and
accompanying wind azimuth. Outputs are year day, lat lon, speed and
course made good, gyro, relative ws and direction, true ws and
direction, air temp, relative humidity, barometric pressure, short- and
long-wave radiation,5m and 1m sea surface temps, Edo depth, Chirp sonar
depth, Edo speed, Edo indicator. This file is good basic version,
transmitted to Warren. Fortran Format:<br>
(F10.5,1X,F7.4,1X.F8.4,1X,F5.2,1X.F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.2,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.2,1X,
  F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F6.1,1X,F6.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F6.1,1X,
  F6.1,1X,F5.2,1X,A1).
  <ul>
	<li>This is not quite true.  Edo speed sometimes requires a field	]
	 width of 6.  Most files (eg, EN282W.dat) were written as	
	  F6.2 instead of 1X, F5.2.  Some files (EN278W, EN276WA & B)	
	   have a field width of 7, so fixed width input could not be	
	    used.  "Bad" files had spaces inserted.	WJS 14 Apr 96</li>
   </ul>	
Form of file name is ENxxxW.DAT where xxx is cruise number.
<li>Check plots of true wind speed and direction to make sure they look
ok.
<li>Run vector averaging program which produces 60 minute series. The
program uses 60 consecutive records and does not check for missing
records. I have not carried depths since hourly averages do not seem
useful nor Edo speeds since they seem pretty generally useless. Output
parameters are: Year day, lat, long, true wind speed and direction, air
temp, relative humidity, barometric pressure, short- and long-wave
radiation, sea surface temp @ 5m & 1m. Output format is:<br>
(F10.5,1X,F7.4,1X,F8.4,1X,F5.2,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F6.1,1X,F6.1,1X,
  F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.1,1X).<br>
Form of output name is: ENxxxW60.DAT where xxx is cruise number.

Specific notes:
<ol>

<li>Data truncated at start of concatenated file until beginning of hour
ship leaves dock.
<li><br>
Year day 1 = January 1.<br>
1996 - Year day computed from Trimble time.<br>
EN276 - GLOBEC - Gap in data. File processed in two parts. A and B added
to end of file name (EN276WA.DAT)<br>
EN278 - GLOBEC - AT bad from YD 43.12667 to 43.73373. Values set to
-99.0<br>
EN282 - GLOBEC - OK<br>
EN283 - PRIMER - OK<br>
EN286 - PRIMET - OK<br>
EN288 - GLOBEC - OK<br>
EN290 - Georges Bank - No short- or long-wave radiation. Fields set to
0.0 in files.<br>
1977 - Year day is ship recording system value from data records. New
with EN292.<br>
EN292 - GLOBEC - OK<br>
EN293 - Georges Slope - No Edo depth. Field set to 0.0 in files.<br>
EN295 - PRIMER - Gap in data. File processed in two parts. A and B added<br>
to file names (EN295WA.DAT)<br>
EN296 - GLOBEC - OK<br>
