Description

The alongtrack data from the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown were recorded by the shipboard data acquisition system (SCS).

The alongtrack data are in four objects: position, wind, meteorology, bathymetry. The first several fields in each object are the same: time, location and course and speed. In the future all these objects will be combined into one object and the first 6 or 8 fields will not be repeated.
