Band

descriptor 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.

Band

descriptor The pre-programmed threshold in the bottom pressure recorder. If the water level exceeds this threshold, the tsunami detection algorithm sends the bpr into event recording mode.

Band

descriptor This is the time interval between reported measurements of pressure. For the high-resolution data it is 15 seconds (0.25 min), but for the older bottom pressure recorders (BPRs) it is 56.25 seconds. When the BPR is not retrieved, the reporting interval is either 15 minutes or variable interval "event-mode" data.

Deployment Name The deployment name identifies the WMO Code [NNNNN] and dates of deployment and recovery and has the form [NNNNN]_[YYYYMMDD]to[YYYYMMDD]. Values do not exist in a predefined set DART(R) System Type The generation of the DART(R) system (usually I or II) 2 Pressure Sensor Pressure sensor is a 0-10,000 psia model 410K Digiquartz(R) unit manufactured by Paroscientific, Inc. 112770: Serial Number of the Paroscientific transducer Bottom Pressure Recorder Electronics Board Number assigned to the bottom pressure recorder (BPR) electronic boards by engineers. 9007482 Recovered Indicates if the bottom pressure recorder (BPR) was recovered from the seafloor. Yes Data Quality Quality of the data collected. None Comments Comments on the recovery of the bottom pressure_recorder (BPR) or the data collected. None Deployment Platform Abbreviation of ship name or research cruise that was used to deploy the BPR package. M/V Blue Fin: Ship name and/or cruise id. Recovery Platform Abbreviation of ship name or research cruise that was used to recover the BPR package. M/V Blue Fin: Ship name and/or cruise id. Bottom Pressure Recorder Software Version Internal software 2.78 Previous Site Name(s) Any other names that the site would have had. None Surface Buoy: A moored surface buoy equipped with duplicate and independent communications systems to transmit data to the Iridium satellite and then on to the Iridium Gateway in Tempe, AZ where an Iridium Router-based Unrestricted Digital Internetworking Connectivity Solution (RUDICS) routes the data to the NDBC RUDICS Server. The surface mooring uses a 2.5 m diameter fiberglass over foam disk buoy with a gross displacement of 4000 kg. referenceInformation Buoy Hull Number Number assigned to the surface buoy by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC). 2.6D16
