Cruises took place from 18 April 1952 to 7 December 2012 in Caspian, Black and Azov Seas. Various vessels were used to collect data in the open sea. Data collection activities were also carried out in the coastal zone from small boats. Oceanographic data were used for weather forecasts and monitoring the state of the biological resources of Caspian, Black and Azov Seas.

Cruises took place from June 1890 to August 2005 in the Black Seas. Russian vessels were used to collect data in the open sea. Small boats were used to collect data in the coastal zone. Oceanographic data were used for weather forecasting and monitoring the state of the biological resources of Black Sea.

Cruises took place from April 1996 to March 2013 in the Barents Sea and Arctic Ocean. Cruises were part of the long-term Ecological Monitoring program funded by the Russian Academy of Sciences and Murmansk Marine Biological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences to collect data for study of mechanisms of influence of Arctic environment on the state of marine life. Nuclear ice breakers were used as ship-of-opportunity to collect oceanographic data in the central Arctic and along the route of commercial cargo vessels (North Sea Route) in the Eastern Arctic Seas.

Cruises took place from April 1900 to August 2005 in the Baltic Sea. Vessels from various countries were used to collect data in the open sea. Small boats were used to collect data in the coastal zone. Oceanographic data were used for weather forecasting and monitoring the state of the biological resources of the Baltic Sea.

Cruises took place from July 1999 to October 2011 in the Caspian, Black, Azov, Barents, Kara and White Seas. Russian vessels were used to collect data in the open sea. Small boats also used to collect data in the coastal zone. Cruises were part of the long-term Ecological Monitoring programs funded by the Russian Academy of Sciences. Plankton data were used for studying the influence of the environment on the state of the marine life.

Depth, pressure, salinity, temperature, and other data were collected using meteorological sensors and CTD casts in the Arctic Ocean, Greenland Sea, and North Pacific Ocean. Data were collected from NOAA Ship KA'IMIMOANA, fishing vessel Sea Watch, and USCG Healy from May 11 to November 28, 2001. Data were submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of the Atlantic Layer Tracking Experiment (ALTEX) project.

This dataset contains temperature, salinity, nutrients, and meteorological data collected from 1926 to 1991 aboard multiple platforms in Caspian Sea.

This dataset contains multiple sets of data. The cruises were conducted using many different ships. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between August 9, 1990 and March 12, 1991 as part of Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System (SEAS) III program. The data were sent from the cruise ships to the National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD via telecommunication. This data containing 658 observations is currently available in the C116 file format of NODC.

The data included in this dataset were collected in the Sermilik Fjord, located in East Greenland in the Ammassalik district close to the town of Tasiilaq. Data collection was conducted by deploying five moorings from September 2012 to August 2013. One mooring was not recovered. The four recovered moorings were named CM0, CM1, CM5, and SF4. Mooring CM0 was located mid-fjord at a depth of 125 meters and was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT, an RBR DR-1050, and an Onset U-22 ProV2. Mooring CM1 was located next to CM0 at a depth of 125 meters. It was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT, an RBR DR-1050, and an Onset UTBI-001 TidbiT. Mooring CM5 was located outside of the fjord entrance at a depth of 290 meters. It was equipped with an SBE MicroCAT and a Nortek Aquadopp. Mooring SF4 was positioned in the middle of the fjord at a depth of 880 meters. Data collected from this mooring included two RBR XR-420s, ten Onset UTBI-001 Temperature Loggers, two SBE MicroCAT, an RBR DR-1050, a Nortek Aquadopp, and an RDI LR-ADCP.
