Metadata: 2011- Ongoing Met Office Autonomous Marine Observing System (AMOS) Meteorological Observations
Abstract:
Meteorological observations originating from Met Office built ship-borne autonomous marine observing systems, produced hourly from any given position on the ship's track/route for weather forecasting as part of the long term climatological record. Coverage is global but predominantly in UK waters. Measurements include mean sea level pressure, air temperature and humidity (with capabilities for sea surface temperature (SST) and wind speed, wind direction and max gust speed from a limited number of systems). On occasion there may be gaps in the dataset.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4072 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2011- Ongoing Met Office Autonomous Marine Observing System (AMOS) Meteorological Observations |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 8739e3a00352289ad4f72f24e1f46872 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MEDIN-343 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-05-18 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2017-05-16 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Meteorological observations originating from Met Office built ship-borne autonomous marine observing systems, produced hourly from any given position on the ship's track/route for weather forecasting as part of the long term climatological record. Coverage is global but predominantly in UK waters. Measurements include mean sea level pressure, air temperature and humidity (with capabilities for sea surface temperature (SST) and wind speed, wind direction and max gust speed from a limited number of systems). On occasion there may be gaps in the dataset. |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Data is collected automatically on an hourly basis using calibrated meteorological instruments which are baseline checked and maintained on a routine basis. Data quality is considered, monitored, compared against background fields and addressed in near real-time throughout its entire life cycle, with suspect data being flagged both automatically and by manual input. Regular, scheduled inspections take place, checking the accuracy of instruments as well as logger software and data formats. |
Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/marine/observations/gathering_data/ships.html |
