Drifting Buoy Data from the Canadian Data Center, submitted by Mr. Jean Gagnon, Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in GF-3 format for the calendar year 1990. This entry references the data as converted to NODC F156 Format by Robert Stein (E/OC13). Only those data which did not duplicate existing archived data were added to the NODC archives. This set is the entire Canadian submission, in NODC'S F156 Format.

359 Drifting Surface Buoys were deployed in the Southern Hemisphere oceans from November 22, 1978 to January 13, 1981 as part of the First Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) Global Experiment (FGGE). This data set was submitted by Dr. John Garrett of the Institute Of Sciences (IOS), British Columbia, Canada.

As a Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP) Global Data Assembly Center (GDAC), and previously the Responsible National Oceanographic Data Center (RNODC), for Drifting Buoy Data, Marine Environmental Data Section (MEDS) submits a set of drifting buoy data to the U.S. NCEI each year. Buoy data is available in real time to platform operators via telecommunications providers and distributed on the Global Telecommunications System (GTS) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in real-time. MEDS decodes data transmitted on the GTS in buoy code form. This may include moored buoy data as well. The DBCP is an international program coordinating the use of autonomous data buoys to observe atmospheric and oceanographic conditions, over ocean areas where few other measurements are taken. MEDS is a part of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Ecosystem and Oceans Science, Oceans Science Branch (OSB). MEDS was previously known as Integrated Science Data Management (ISDM), Oceanography and Scientific Data (OSD).

Buoy data is available in real time to platform operators via telecommunications providers and distributed on the Global Telecommunications System (GTS) of the World Meteorological Organization in real-time. As a Global Data Assembly Center for Drifting Buoy Data, DFO OSB MEDS (pka ISDM, OSD, OSB) decodes data transmitted on the GTS in buoy code form. This includes moored buoy data as well. This is OSB MEDS's annual submission of such data to the U.S. NCEI. This dataset should not be considered as complete since several buoys failed to report BUOY (TAC FM-18) messages in 2015. Another dataset will be submitted when the BUFR data from 2015 is recovered, selected and formatted.

The accession contains drifting buoy data archived by Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS), Canada. The data were collected between January 1986 and June 1988. The data are in DRIBU code and GF-3 format. Only positions and time are reported.

Physical and meteorological data were collected from drifting buoys from a World-Wide distribution from 2 January 1985 to 31 December 1989. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F156 Drifting Buoy Data format. The F156 format is used for time series data on ocean circulation determined by the tracking of drifting buoys, drogues, or other instrumented devices as they are carried with the flow. Movement is reported as point-to-point geographic locations determined by shore-based, surface ship, aircraft, or satellite observations. Data from both ocean currents and ice movement can be reported in this format over time periods ranging from minutes to months. Directions and speeds between individual observations may be computed from these data and presented in graphic or summary listing form to provide information on circulation patterns and mass transport in offshore and near- shore regions. Platform name (for platform acquiring data or deploying device), drogue characteristics, start and end positions and times, and observation frequency (if constant time interval) are reported for each series of observation. Other surface meteorological or oceanographic parameters (e.g., water temperature and salinity, air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) and subsurface data (depth, pressure, temperature) may also be reported. Text records may be used to report general comments or to describe individual drogue observations.

The drifting buoy data in this accession was collected over a one year period from buoys deployed by National Data Buoy Center, Stennis Space Center, MS. The data was collected in Bering Sea from December 28, 1988 to December 31, 1989. The water depth and other Lagrangian drifting buoy data submitted by Mr. Eric A. Meindl in a tape has been processed by NODC and is currently available in F156 Drifting Buoy file format.
