Oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from station Norrie Point weather/hydro by Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System (HRECOS) and assembled by Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System (MARACOOS) in the Hudson River from 2008-07-09 to 2019-03-31 (NCEI Accession 0163604)

The data are made available in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Each month, NCEI adds to the Accession the data collected during the previous month. Norrie Point is a bedrock outcropping into the main stem of the Hudson River adjacent to a cove.

During the growing season (June – September), the cove is dominated by the invasive floating macrophyte Trapanatans. Norrie Point has a tidal range of 1.19 meters and has a soft silty bottom. The depth at the sampling location ranges from approximately 1.0 to 3.0 meters.

YSI sondes are deployed at Norrie Point approximately 3.0 meters off the bottom in a perforated four-inch aluminum tube that is vertically mounted to a piling at the end of a dock. The datalogger contains sensors for temperature, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll a, and depth**. GOES telemetry equipment includes a larger solar panel and battery, a larger enclosure to house the battery, a Sutron Satlink 2 transmitter, associated GPS for time synchronization and a Yagi antenna.
