"10-minute and hourly measurements of surface weather observations collected by the OOI Coastal Endurance Array using the ASIMET meteorological sensor suite measuring (among other variables) the sea surface temperature, salinity and wind speed. This data has been re-processed from source data available on the OOI Gold Copy THREDDS catalog.\n\n10-minute and hourly averaged datasets are created from the 1-minute data produced by the ASIMET system to create data records with automated and human-in-the-loop (HITL) quality control flags applied. In this version of the dataset (v1.0.1), only the sea surface temperature, salinity and wind speed data has been fully QC'd.\n\nThe wind records in these datasets are corrected for known underspeeding noted in the OOI Data Explorer annotations.  Based on comparisons to the OOI direct covariance flux wind measurements, the wind records presented in these datasets are adjusted upwards by a gain factor of 1.1236.\n\nNote, the data record is gappy in time; if no data was available for any of the sensors, then that timestamp was not included.\n\nData is organized in both NetCDF and Zarr files (in Zarr ZipStores) per mooring location differentiated by the file contents:\n\n\n\n\nMooring Location\nPer Deployment (NetCDF only)\nContinuous (NetCDF and Zarr)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOregon Shelf Surface Mooring (80 m site depth)\n\n\n\nCE02SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.per_deployment.nc\n\nCE02SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.per_deployment.nc\n\n\n\nCE02SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.continuous.nc\n\nCE02SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.continuous.zarr.zip\n\nCE02SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.continuous.nc\n\nCE02SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.continuous.zarr.zip\n\n\n\nOregon Offshore Surface Mooring (572 m site depth)\n\n\nCE04OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.per_deployment.nc\n\nCE04OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.per_deployment.nc\n\n\n\nCE04OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.continuous.nc\n\nCE04OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.continuous.zarr.zip\n\nCE04OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.continuous.nc\n\nCE04OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.continuous.zarr.zip\n\n\n\n\n\nWashington Shelf Surface Mooring (87 m site depth)\n\n\n\nCE07SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.per_deployment.nc\n\nCE07SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.per_deployment.nc\n\n\n\nCE07SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.continuous.nc\n\nCE07SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.continuous.zarr.zip\n\nCE07SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.continuous.nc\n\nCE07SHSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.continuous.zarr.zip\n\n\n\nWashington Offshore Surface Mooring (542 m site depth)\n\n\nCE09OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.per_deployment.nc\n\nCE09OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.per_deployment.nc\n\n\n\nCE09OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.continuous.nc\n\nCE09OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.10minute.continuous.zarr.zip\n\nCE09OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.continuous.nc\n\nCE09OSSM-SBD11-06-METBKA000.hourly.continuous.zarr.zip\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the 'per_deployment' files, data from overlapping deployments is made available for researchers wishing to assess the data on a per deployment basis.

A potential downside to these files is the time record is not monotonic, which may cause some issues depending on how the data is analyzed. These files are only available in NetCDF format. For those wishing to work with monotonic time records, the overlapping deployment data has been averaged and the deployment variable has been dropped. These 'continuous' files are available in both NetCDF and Zarr format (as Zarr ZipStores).\n\nThe hourly, 'per_deployment' data files are used as part of the processing of the PCO2A data available in 10.5281/zenodo.17883448.\n\n\n\n\nVersion\nPublication Date\nComments\n\n\nv1.0.0\n2025-12-16\nOriginal dataset.\n\n\nv1.0.1\n2025-12-17\n\n\nCorrected error in the creation of the 10-minute continuous records and updated both the NetCDF and Zarr files 10-minute continuous files for all moorings." 

The Pioneer Central Surface Mooring is located on the Continental Shelf, approximately 130 meters deep. The Continental Shelf-Slope area off the New England coast is a highly productive area and one that is located at a dynamic intersection where ocean currents meet in weather-like “fronts,” and where nutrients, pollutants, and other properties are exchanged between the coast and the deep ocean. Data from the shelf area help to examine exchanges between the shelf and slope and the shelf ecosystem, as well as provide broader insight into the issues of air-sea gas exchange, including Carbon Dioxide.\nLike other Coastal Profiler Moorings, the Pioneer Central Inshore Profiler Mooring contains a Wire-Following Profiler that houses instruments. The Wire-Following Profiler moves through the water column along the mooring riser, continuously sampling ocean characteristics over a specified depth interval. 

The Pioneer Inshore Profiler Mooring is located on the inner Continental Shelf, approximately 90 meters deep. The Continental Shelf-Slope area off the New England coast is a highly productive area and one that is located at a dynamic intersection where ocean currents meet in weather-like “fronts,” and where nutrients, pollutants, and other properties are exchanged between the coast and the deep ocean.

The Coastal Endurance Oregon Shelf Surface Mooring is located on the Continental Shelf, approximately 80 meters deep. The Continental Shelf-Slope area off the Oregon coast is a highly productive, dynamic upwelling environment. Upwelling brings nutrients to the surface sparking primary production and fueling the food web. In recent years, upwelling has also brought onto the shelf hypoxic, low oxygen, waters that can be harmful to organisms in the area. By sampling in this area, the OOI seeks to gain better insight into upwelling dynamics of this system.\nLike other coastal moorings, the Coastal Endurance Oregon Shelf Surface Mooring is specifically designed to examine coastal-scale phenomena and withstand the challenging conditions of shallow coastal environments, including large tidal fluctuations. The Surface Mooring contains instruments attached to a Surface Buoy floating on the sea surface, Near Surface Instrument Frame 7 meters below the surface, and a Seafloor Multi-Function Node (MFN) located on the seafloor. The Surface Buoy provides a platform on which to secure surface instruments above the sea surface, below the sea surface, and across the interface between. Additionally the Surface Buoy contains an antenna to transmit data to shore via satellite.

By sampling in this area, the OOI seeks to gain better insight into upwelling dynamics of this system. Like other Surface Piercing Profiler Moorings, this mooring contains a Surface Piercing Profiler that allows for the sampling of near surface phenomena as the Profiler travels through the water then breaches the surface. Fine resolution sampling of the water column, particularly at the very surface of the water, provides key insights into the exchange of gases, heat, etc. between the atmosphere and the ocean. While on the surface, the profiler transmits data to shore. 

The Coastal Endurance Washington Inshore Surface Piercing Profiler Mooring is located on the inner Continental Shelf, approximately 29 meters deep.
