These data were collected as\npart of research experiments investigating circulation and sediment transport in the coastal ocean. The\nexperiments (projects, research programs) are typically one month to several years long and have been\ncarried out since 1975. New experiments will be conducted, and the data from them will be added to the\ncollection. As of 2016, all but one of the experiments were conducted in waters abutting the U.S. coast;\nthe exception was conducted in the Adriatic Sea. Measurements acquired vary by site and experiment;\nthey usually include current velocity, wave statistics, water temperature, salinity, pressure, turbidity,\nand light transmission from one or more depths over a time period. The measurements are concentrated\nnear the sea floor but may also include data from the water column.\nThe user interface provides an interactive map, a tabular summary of the experiments, and a separate\npage for each experiment. Each experiment page has documentation and maps that provide details of what\ndata were collected at each site. Links to related publications with additional information about the\nresearch are also provided. The data are stored in Network Common Data Format (netCDF) files using the\nEquatorial Pacific Information Collection (EPIC) conventions defined by the National Oceanic and\nAtmospheric Administration (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. NetCDF is a general,\nself-documenting, machine-independent, open source data format created and supported by the University\nCorporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). EPIC is an early set of standards designed to allow\nresearchers from different organizations to share oceanographic data. The files may be downloaded or\naccessed online using the Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OPeNDAP). The OPeNDAP\nframework allows users to access data from anywhere on the Internet using a variety of Web services\nincluding Thematic Realtime Environmental Distributed Data Services (THREDDS). A subset of the data\ncompliant with the Climate and Forecast convention (CF, currently version 1.6) is also available.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.cd2c4288-56f3-46ec-ab12-734c435bf349.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/thredds/catalog/TSdata/catalog.html", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_cd2c4288-56f3-46ec-ab12-734c435bf349", "keyword": ["Salinity", "DENSITY", "Gulf of Maine", "IGBP > INTERNATIONAL GEOSPHERE-BIOSPHERE PROGRAMME", "Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center", "OCEAN CURRENTS", "GLOBEC > GLOBAL OCEAN ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS, IGBP", "WATER PRESSURE", "OXYGEN", "Current Speed", "Sea Surface Temperature", "AIR TEMPERATURE", "Coastal and Marine Geology Program", "WAVE SPEED DIRECTION", "Martha's Vineyard, MA", "INCLINOMETERS", "THERMISTORS", "Gulf of Mexico", "SALINITY, TEMPERATURE, DEPTH", "Buzzard's Bay, MA", "WIND VANES", "USGS", "Vertical Velocity", "TRANSMISSOMETERS", "Hudson Shelf Valley, NY", "Rachel Carlson National Wildlife Refuge, ME", "Fire Island, NY", "Air Temperature", "Dauphin Island, LA", "ATTENUATION/TRANSMISSION", "Wave Period", "Dissolved Oxygen", "SURFACE AIR TEMPERATURE", "SALINITY", "WATER TEMPERATURE", "Massachusetts Bay, MA", "Temperature (c)", "DODS > DISTRIBUTED OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA SYSTEM", "ESIP > EARTH SCIENCE INFORMATION PARTNERS PROGRAM", "Chincoteague Bay, MD and VA", "oceans", "ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS", "ANEMOMETERS", "marine geology", "Chandeleur Islands, LA", "USGS:cd2c4288-56f3-46ec-ab12-734c435bf349", "SURFACE WINDS", "PRESSURE GAUGES", "SEA LEVEL PRESSURE", "POTENTIAL DENSITY", "Wind Direction", "pH", "CONDUCTIVITY METERS", "Cape Hatteras, NC", "South Atlantic Bight", "Palos Verdes Shelf, CA", "Sigma Theta", "sedimentology", "North America", "OPENDAP > OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT FOR A NETWORK DATA ACCESS PROTOCOL", "THERMOMETERS", "Adriatic Sea", "Seal Beach, Pt.
