Content Information

Content type
Physical measurement

Identifier

Code
Temperature of the water body
Description
The degree of hotness of the water column expressed against a standard scale. Includes both IPTS-68 and ITS-90 scales.

Identifier

Code
Wind speed in the atmosphere
Description
Sustained speed of the wind (distance moved per unit time by a parcel of air) parallel to the ground at a given place and time

Identifier

Code
Practical salinity of the water body
Description
The quantity of dissolved ions (predominantly salt in seawater) expressed on a scale (PSS-78) based on the conductivity ratio of a seawater sample to a standard KCl solution.

Identifier

Code
Wind from direction in the atmosphere
Description
Direction relative to true north from which the wind is blowing

Identifier

Code
Temperature of the atmosphere
Description
The degree of hotness of the atmosphere expressed against a standard scale. Includes both IPTS-68 and ITS-90 scales.

Identifier

Code
Relative humidity of the atmosphere
Description
The ratio of the amount of water vapour in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapour that can theoretically be held at the air's temperature

Identifier

Code
Pressure (measured variable) exerted by the atmosphere
Description
Measurement as a phenomenon (as opposed to a co-ordinate) of the force per unit area exerted by the atmosphere determined in-situ at a known altitude.
