Translation Specification for actinometric Russian R/V data. Steven Worley, 07/14/2004: Last review Based on the "Archive Format for Presentation of Ship Marine Actinometrical Data, Version 2. 05 April 2002 format (attached below LMR transpec) and available in the final report as Appendix 1 (NCAR-eng.doc, dss.ucar.edu/datasets/ds533.1/docs/) The full original record (119 characters) is added as a supplemental attachment. Many elements have received QC assessment. Only elements with QC = 0, or 1 have been placed in the COADS regular fields. c 0 = no QC has been performed c 1 = QC has been performed; element appears to be correct c 2 = QC has been performed; element appears to be inconsistent with other c elements c 3 = QC has been performed; element appears to be doubtful c 4 = QC has been performed; element appears to be erroneous c 9 = The value of the element missing Asterisk (*) next to LMR variable name (e.g. N*) means the variable has an associated QC flag in the original Russian format. Braces {...} indicate the variable name in the Russian format document. Indicators (e.g. VI, SI, etc) are set to non-missing if the associated data element is extant. Note: If the associated data element has QC = 2 or greater, it is NOT placed in the regular LMR fields and the indicator is set to missing. THERE ARE A FULL SUITE OF RADIATION DATA (ACTINOMETRICAL) AVAILABLE FOR THESE RECORDS, E.G. SUN ALTITUDE, SUN DISC STATE, SKY COLOR, DIRECT RAD- IATION PERPENDICULAR TO THE SURFACE, ALBEDO, SCATTERED RADIATION, LONG- WAVE BALANCE. See the supplemental attachment for these data.

Number Indicators to define sea surface state (number of wave degree). 0 Sea surface is absolutely calm 1 Ripple; small wave crests appear. 2 Small wave crests begin to tip over, however froth, which is generated, is not white but glassy. 3 Small waves are clearly visible, crests of some of them tip over forming here and there white froth flocks of sheep. 4 Waves take a well-defined form, flocks of sheep are formed everywhere. 5 Crests of considerable height appear, wind begins to tear froth away from wave crests. 6 Crests outline long bars of wind waves. 7 Long stripes of froth torn off by wind cover wave slopes and in places reach wave hollows. 8 Wide stripes of froth cover wave slopes making sea surface white. Only here and there in wave troughs there are areas free of froth. 9 Sea surface is covered with a thick layer of froth, air is full of water spray, and visibility is reduced considerably. Code.
