The Dataset's Variables and Attributes

Row Type Variable Name Attribute Name Data Type Value
attribute NC_GLOBAL abstract String SUN2 mooring is located 8 nm east of Little River Inlet, and 18 nm west of the mouth of the Cape Fear River, at 33.8431° N 78.4815 ° W in southern Onslow Bay, offshore of Wilmington, NC. The mooring collects wave and current data from an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) with an onboard processing unit and reports hourly via cellular modem communications. Measurements collected consist of three processed current reports at 10' intervals and one processed wave data package. The current reports contain magnitude and direction data for the bottom-most and top-most 1 meter bin of the water column. The wave data generated consists of wave height, wave period and wave direction. The mooring is maintained by UNCW's Coastal Ocean Research and Monitoring Program (www.cormp.org) (external link). Station data is shared with NDBC as mooring SSBN7. Support for this mooring is provided by SECOORA.

attribute NC_GLOBAL history String Data logger: Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO3200 Communications: Sierra Wireless Raven XT Airlink cellular modem Oceanographic Instruments: Teledyne RD Instruments Workhorse ADCP with NEMO Wave Processing Module. Mounted on the bottom of ocean in 10 meters depth, facing upward. Positioning: Garmin GPS19 sensor. The ADCP collects current ensembles every ten minutes and a waves ensemble once an hour. Once data has been collected by the ADCP, the NEMO unit processes the current and waves data, dividing one hour's worth of data in two distinct datasets and storing them on the buffer of an inductive modem. The datalogger polls the inductive modem for the most recent dataset it has processed. This data is stored as a string in the memory of the logger and incorporated into an output message. The cellular modem transmits the output message when prompted by an externally run batch file. Data is extracted from the file created, passes through QARTOD QA/QC tests, and posts to the CORMP website (www.cormp.org) (external link) and is stored in the CORMP database. All data management is conducted by Second Creek Consulting, LLC.

Data available on the CORMP website, but provided by programs other than CORMP, are subject to their own disclaimers and access policies.
Real-time data provided by CORMP should be considered provisional. Quality controlled data for any particular location are available only in the archived data for each mooring. While all due care is taken to provide accurate information, provisional data are subject to change or retraction after quality control. No warranty is made, express or implied, regarding the accuracy or validity of the data, or regarding the suitability of the data for any particular application.

Data Access Policy
All CORMP realtime and archived data available through cormp.org may be freely used. Ethical scientific practice requires that use of CORMP data be discussed with CORMP points of contact prior to publication and that CORMP investigators be properly acknowledged. If data are used in scientific publication, the following acknowledgement must be included:

attribute NC_GLOBAL platform_vocabulary String http://mmisw.org/ont/ioos/platform (external link)
attribute NC_GLOBAL processing_level String As the sensor data arrives, it passes through required and highly recommended QARTOD QA/QC tests to identify outliers and other anomalies. This data posts to the CORMP website (www.cormp.org) (external link) and is stored in the CORMP database. Analysts receive a daily e-mail with sensor quality reports (i.e QC flags are identified). Individual sensor data quality flags can be overridden based on analyst review. The updated quality flags are stored in the CORMP database. Attribute Accuracy: System checks prior to deployment - Prior to deployment, during the setup and initialization process for the ADCP/NEMO, numerous system checks are conducted. These include tests of the instrument's transducers, calibration of the unit's compass, systems checks for memory and the setting of sampling scheme. Consistency: CORMP uses tests 2, 3, 10, 11, 12 and 17 from the QARTOD current manual. The link to the QARTOD current manual is: https://www.ioos.noaa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/qartod_currents_manual.pdf (external link)
