Evaluation of NAVOCEANO Pilot Program Data.
Abstract
This report contains the results of a quick-look evaluation of certain data reports, collected under the PILOT program conducted by NAVOCEANO in 1977 and 1978 in the eastern mid-Atlantic, and made available to JAYCOR by NAVOCEANO through NORDA. This evaluation was conducted to ascertain the potential utility of the PILOT data in studying problems of sources, propagation, and sinks of energy in the internal gravity wave band. Based on the reports sent to JAYCOR, it was found that these data are generally not of high enough quality nor are the data records complete enough in a temporal or spatial sense to perform the analyses originally perceived possible. This evaluation must be tempered, however, by the fact that the actual data sets were not available for review, either because they had not been processed or there was not sponsor approval. There still remains the possibility that certain portions of the PILOT data could be used to study internal wave phenomena of interest to NORDA Environmental Measurements Program.
