NASA Saildrone ATOMIC Field Campaign Dataset Release

2020-07-30

The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the availability of the NASA-funded Saildrone data as part of the Atlantic Tradewind Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign (ATOMIC). The ATOMIC campaign involved the deployment of a fleet of Saildrones in the Atlantic waters offshore of Barbados over a 45 day period from 17 January to 2 March 2020. The goal was to understand the ocean-atmosphere interaction particularly over mesoscale ocean eddies in that region. The Saildrone ATOMIC dataset hosted at the PO.DAAC is comprised of two data files for each of three NASA-funded saildrones deployed.

Animation: Saildrone ATOMIC field campaign along-track measurement data - SST and SSS observations (SD1061)

Animation showing the survey track and measurement data for the NASA-contracted saildrone SD1061 deployed during the ATOMIC field campaign over a 45 day period from 17 January 2020 to 2 March 2020 in the Caribbean region. Here we see time series of surface salinity and temperature measurements in relation to satellite SSS and SST respectively.  The animation also maps the movement of the saildrone, with colors representing collocated satellite SSS and SST along-track.

Webinar: Making Waves: PO.DAAC’s Journey from Servers to a Cloud Environment

Why is the NASA Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) and the NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) moving to the cloud?

This webinar, addresses your burning questions about the move to the cloud, what it means for the data, services, and resources PO.DAAC provides, and what it means for the data user community. You will learn about this paradigm shift, in the context of a NASA EOSDIS DAAC, what tools and services, as well as data, are anticipated to be cloud-based shortly, and learn about other PO.DAAC efforts to expand data accessibility and usability, including consideration for interoperability and making data more GIS-ready.
