SEAKEYS
Program
Historical C-MAN Data
1,2,3 There are
two kinds of SEAKEYS/C-MAN data presented here - Basic National Data Buoy
Center C-MAN Data and Enhanced C-MAN Data.
Basic National
Data Buoy Center C-MAN Data
The basic National Data
Buoy Center (NDBC) C-MAN instrument package generally monitors
meteorological data, such as wind speed and direction, air temperature and
barometric pressure; but sea temperature is also measured when possible,
at 1 meter deep.

Enhanced C-MAN
Data
The Florida Institute of Oceanography has enhanced the NDBC stations with
more oceanographic instrumentation under funding for their SEAKEYS
project. We call these "enhanced" SEAKEYS/C-MAN stations. Parameters
measured vary with the station, but a full suite of instrumentation
includes measurements for sea temperature at 1 meter and 3 meters,
salinity, and Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) at 1 meter and 3
meters. When viewing the header description file for the data files, "ZRAD"
pertains to the PAR measurements.
Notes:
1
Important note regarding C-MAN data
2
Not all stations are present in the
data files.
