Summary
Abstract:
Extension, Density, and Calcification data from 35 Porites coral cores covering the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Data set contains 35 individual core data sets plus time series 1746-1982 of average calcification rate for 10 of these sites. The Australian Institute of Marine Science began collecting cores from very large massive colonies of Porites on the Great Barrier ... Reef in the early 1980s. Such cores cannot normally be identified to
species. The cores were mounted and sawn to remove slices that were about 6-7mm
thick. All slices were X-rayed and skeletal density measured along a central
track on each slice using a gamma densitometer. The high density portion of
annual density bands in Porites from the Great Barrier Reef appears to form
usually between October and March, the Southern Hemisphere summer. Peaks in the
density profiles were successively counted backwards from the last (outermost
or youngest) peak. Density was assumed to peak in January and the most recent
peak was dated from the date of collection of the core. Dates were then
assigned to all peaks in the series. Time series of the following skeletal
growth parameters were then obtained: 1) Average annual density (g.cm-3) 2)
Annual linear extension measured between high density peaks (cm.yr-1) 3) Annual
calcification (g.cm-2.yr-1_; the product of annual average density and annual
linear extension. These data were obtained from coral cores taken at 35 sites
on the Great Barrier Reef. The density profiles do not always display regular,
obvious annual peaks and we could not be absolutely sure of the dating for some
profiles. We consider there may be errors of + or - 2-3 years in the starting
data of some of these series. File AIMS10CoreAvg.txt: Time series of average
calcification rate is based on 10 Porites corals for 1746-1982: Jeannie
River, Flinders Reef, Brook Island, Britomart Reef, Lodestone Reef, Wheeler
Reef, Havannah Island, Hook Island, Sanctuary Reef, and Abraham Reef. 3 series
are presented: 1) Annual average values expressed as standardized anomalies;
each of the 10 series was converted to standardized anomalies with respect to
1934-1982 mean and sd; resulting series then averaged for 10 corals. 2) Annual
average standardized anomalies filtered with 5-year gaussian filter. 3) Annual
average series converted to original calcification units (g.cm-2.yr-1) filtered
with 5-year gaussian filter. Because of potential dating errors the last two
series are considered to be most reliable. Lough and Barnes (1997) suggest that
~30% of the variance in the 10-coral calcification series can be explained by
variations of annual sea-surface temperature. On-line data are available free
of charge, other forms are available for the cost of reproduction.

Quality
LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: IPD/NESDIS sends XML files to CLASS containing details of bad/missing scanlines by band.
COMPLETENESS REPORT: When the GOES spacecraft enters and leaves the Earth's shadow the Imager and Sounder are idle prior to and following eclipse. For more information go to URL: http://www.oso.noaa.gov/goes/koz-eclipse/koz-eclipse.htm.
HORIZONTAL ... POSITIONAL ACCURACY REPORT: Sounder sample locations accurate to 10 km at nadir, at all times.
LINEAGE/PROCESS STEP:
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: The GOES Support System includes the Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) Station at Wallops Island, VA, and the Satellite Operations and Control Center (SOCC) at Suitland, MD. At the CDA station, raw instrument data and telemetry are read out from the satellite. Data are processed, calibrated, earth-located and converted to GOES Variable data format (GVAR) and rebroadcast to the satellite along with spacecraft command schedules. The GVAR data are then broadcast to direct readout users.
LINEAGE/PROCESS STEP:
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: GVAR data ingested by NOAA is processed further in that Block 11 is stripped away and created as two separate datasets, GOES Satellite Data - Sounder and GOES Satellite Data - Block 11. The remaining GVAR data contains only Imager data in blocks 0 -10.
LINEAGE/PROCESS STEP:
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: The earlest GVAR data from GOES-8 and GOES-9 had been recorded on Sony U-Matic Cassettes up until October 1997. Beginning in October 1997, SSEC switched to IBM 3590 tapes, capable of storing approximately 20 Gb of data. The data on U-Matic cassettes were pulled and copied onto IBM 3590 tapes under a "data rescue" agreement with NCDC. The data rescue project of the entire GOES archive was completed sometime in early 2003. Per directed ESDIM funding for FY 2001, NCD.
