This dataset contains CTD profiles of water temperature, salinity, and other parameters from the research vessel Investigator in the Indian, Pacific, and Southern Oceans collected by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) National Collection and Marine Infrastructure. Data are in CSV format.

Salinity and temperature profile data were collected using XCTD and CTD casts from R/V MIRAI in the North/South Pacific Ocean from 07 January 2002 to 30 March 2003. Data were submitted by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).

Temperature profile data were collected using CTD casts in the Northeast Pacific Ocean from the NAVIGATION RESPONSE TEAM 6 from 07 October 2004 to 19 July 2005. Data were submitted by Ruby L. Becker of National Ocean Service in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Temperature and salinity profiles were collected from CTD casts from the Wilfred Templeman and other platforms from 03 January 1990 to 13 December 1996. Data were submitted by the MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL DATA SERVICE (MEDS).

CTD, bottle, meteorological, and other data were collected from the Southern Oceans (>60 degrees South) from the Nathaniel B. Palmer from 14 February 1994 to 31 March 1994. CTD data include profiles of temperature, salinity, and oxygen concentrations. Bottle data include concentration profiles of oxygen, silicate, phosphate, nitrate, and total CO2. Meteorological data include barometric pressure, wind speed, and wind direction. Data were submitted by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.

Physical data were collected from CTD casts from the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean. Data were collected from October 1983 to August 1996. Data were collected and submitted by the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), India and provided to the Global Temperature-Salinity Pilot Project (GTSPP). Physical parameters include temperature and salinity profiles.

Nutrients, water density, salinity, and temperature profile data were collected using XBT, AXBT, bottle, and CTD casts in a World-wide distribution from 01 January 1994 to 31 December 2002. Data were submitted by the Japan Hydrographic Office.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, oxygen, and fluorescence taken by CTD and XCTD from research vessel Kaiyo-Maru in the North Pacific Ocean. Data are in text format. These data belong in part to MSR RATS cruise U2013-027, archived in NCEI Accession 0224402.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and other parameters collected by CTD from research vessel Oceanus in the north Pacific Ocean off California. Cruise OC1511A by research vessel Oceanus in November 2015 had the objective to service moorings for the CCE (California Current Ecosystem) project. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, CTD casts with water samples were done. The CTD data are reported here. The CTD data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. Data quality is acceptable, but affected by bad weather which led to unsteady motion of the instrument package through the water. The raw CTD data files are available through the Rolling Deck to Repository program (R2R, see references), and the water sample data will be published through the Ocean Carbon and Acidification Data Portal at NCEI. Data are in NetCDF.

Ocean pressure, temperature, and salinity data are reported from 85 CTD profiles acquired in the Bellingshausen Sea. These austral spring observations, taken along the continental shelf slope to a nominal depth of 500m (interspersed with a few full depth profiles), comprise a portion of several related data sets obtained during NBP07-09, from Punta Arenas to Punta Arenas, Chile. Additional sampling was undertaken for physical, geochemical and biological parameters of sea ice and upper ocean, as well as ocean currents and continuous underway mapping of sea surface properties, meteorological variables and bathymetry.
