tao: West Pacific Tropical Atmosphere Ocean Data, 1993 & 1997.

In MissingDataGUI: A GUI for Missing Data Exploration

Description

Real-time data from moored ocean buoys for improved detection, understanding and prediction of El Ni'o and La Ni'a.

Usage

data(tao)

Details

The data is collected by the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean project ( http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/index.shtml).

Format: a data frame with 736 observations on the following 8 variables.

year

A factor with levels 1993 1997.

latitude

A factor with levels -5 -2 0.

longitude

A factor with levels -110 -95.

sea.surface.temp

Sea surface temperature(degree Celsius), measured by the TAO buoys at one meter below the surface.

air.temp

Air temperature(degree Celsius), measured by the TAO buoys three meters above the sea surface.

humidity

Relative humidity( buoys 3 meters above the sea surface.

uwind

The East-West wind vector components(M/s). TAO buoys measure the wind speed and direction four meters above the sea surface. If it is positive, the East-West component of the wind is blowing towards the East. If it is negative, this component is blowing towards the West.

vwind

The North-South wind vector components(M/s). TAO buoys measure the wind speed and direction four meters above the sea surface. If it is positive, the North-South component of the wind is blowing towards the North. If it is negative, this component is blowing towards the South.
