Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory Oceanographic Data
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has built the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) near South Beach in Edgartown, Massachusetts.
Description
The project was initiated by scientists in the Coastal and Ocean Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (COFDL) at WHOI, who will use the observatory to study coastal atmospheric and oceanic processes. Data from the observatory are downloaded from the shore lab every twenty minutes: 5, 25 & 45 minutes after the hour.
They are processed to provide burst averaged statistics, with the most current data presented on the MVCO home page. Summary files of the oceanographic data are provided in the OcnDat_s files. Historical burst averaged data can be retrieved via a web interface (JGOFS format) or anonymous ftp (mvcodata.whoi.edu).

The time (Yday) is GMT (UTM) at the start of the burst, where 1.5 represents noon on January 1. Anonymous ftp ("ftp://mvcodata.whoi.edu/pub/mvcodata/data/") access provides ascii flat files including year-to-date data in files named YYYY_InstID.CNN (eg., 2002_Campmt.C03) or data from each day as YYYYyday_InstID.CNN (eg., 2002122_Campmt.C03). The Yday 1.5 represents noon on January 1.
Data are available to download. The user must navigate to the desired Instrument_ID (eg., Campmt_s) and the desired year (eg., 2000). Text files and header files define the contents of these data files.
The year-to-date files can be read using one of the example Matlab m-files. The web-interface ("mvcodata.whoi.edu/jg/dir/mvco/") provides methods to subset the data. Retrieved ascii data will contain a header at the top.
The web-interface also provides interactive graphics (Simple X-Y plotting).
