Physical data were collected from Bottle, MBT, XBT, and CTD casts from the Andaman and Burma Seas, Bay of Bengal, Malacca Straits, and the Indian Ocean. Data were collected from August 28, 1976 to January 07, 2009. 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.

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.

Temperature and salinity profile data were collected using STD/CTD casts from MELVILLE from the Indian Ocean from December 6, 1977 to April 21, 1978. Data were submitted by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Geochemical Ocean Section Study (IDOE/GEOSECS) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution STD/CTD Data (F022) format. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments.

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 and other data were collected by the National Ocean Service's Response Team No. 2 in the Gulf of Mexico from 25 January 2001 to 05 May 2001. Data include temperature and salinity profiles. Data are in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) CTD exchange format.

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.

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).

This dataset includes discrete sample and profile data collected from DISCOVERY in the Indian Ocean and Southern Oceans (> 60 degrees South) from 1994-02-19 to 1994-03-30. These data include CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-11 (CFC-11), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-113 (CFC-113), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-12 (CFC-12), Carbon tetrachloride (CCL4), DISSOLVED OXYGEN, Delta Oxygen-18, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, WATER TEMPERATURE, phosphate and silicate. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Robert R. Dickson of Fisheries Laboratory - Lowestoft as part of the WOCE_ISS01h_74DI19940219 dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: DIS94 and WOCE_ISS01h_1994 The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a major component of the World Climate Research Program with the overall goal of better understanding the ocean's role in climate and climatic changes resulting from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The CO2 survey took advantage of the sampling opportunities provided by the WOCE Hydrographic Program (WHP) cruises during this period between 1990 and 1998. The final collection covers approximately 23,000 stations from 94 WOCE cruises.
