      Description: 
         Abstract: 
            As part of the U.S. National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program 
            (NTHMP), the Deep Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis 
            (DART) Project is an ongoing effort to maintain and improve the 
            capability for the early detection and real-time reporting of 
            tsunamis in the open ocean. DART stations have been sited in 
            regions with a history of generating destructive tsunamis to 
            ensure early detection of tsunamis and to acquire data critical to 
            real-time forecasts. DART systems consist of an anchored seafloor 
            bottom pressure recorder (BPR) and a companion moored surface buoy 
            for real-time communications. An acoustic link transmits data from 
            the BPR on the seafloor to the surface buoy. The data are then 
            relayed via a GOES satellite link to ground stations, which 
            demodulate the signals for immediate dissemination to NOAA's 
            Tsunami Warning Centers, NDBC, and PMEL. The National Geophysical 
            Data Center (NGDC) serves as the archive center for this data and 
            provides the historical data to users.
         Purpose: 
            Provide historic pressure and temperature data

            Entity Type Definition: 
               An acoustic modem, acoustic release unit and battery pack bolted 
               to a platform, to which a disposable anchor, flotation, and 
               recovery aids are attached

               Depth
            Attribute Definition: 
               The ship-measured depth (meters) of the ocean at which the buoy 
               was moored. The ship-measured depth is not as accurate as the 
               BPR-measured pressure. To obtain the most precise depth, 
               convert the bottom pressure to depth. If value is 99999, depth 
               is unknown.
