Phytoplankton, chemical, nutrients, salinity, and other data from August 4, 1989 to September 7, 1989. Data were collected using bottle and CTD casts in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Physical, nutrients, and other data were collected from CTD and bottle casts from the North Pacific Ocean from 19 February 1991 to 31 December 2000. Parameters include water depth, temperature, and salinity. Parameters also include concentrations of chlorophyll, silicate, phosphate, nitrate, and nitrite. Minkley, B.G., and F.A. Whitney. 2001. Summary of Hydrographic/CTD Observations made along Line P and at Station P: 1991-1999. Canadian Data Report of Hydrography and Ocean Sciences No. 156: 40 p. A summary of 30 missions which sampled part or all of Line P between January 1991 and December 1999 is provided. Plots of mission tracks show the areas surveyed, participants are listed, and types of sampling, inventoried. A review of sampling equipment outlines the conversion from 1.7 litre Niskin bottles mounted on 5/32-inch wire hydro wire to CTD/Rosette cast sampling using 10 litre bottles. Missions which supported programs for World Ocean Circulation Experiment and Joint Global Ocean Flux Studies are listed. A previous report contained observations for the period January 1980 to December 1989 and is found in Canadian Data Report of Hydrography and Ocean Sciences No.136, by Tabata and Brown.

This dataset contains plankton abundance, CTD, and water quality data collected from 18 stations during R/V Bellows cruise BE-1407 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2013-12-07 to 2013-12-08. Plankton samples were collected from 10 offshore shelf sites. This dataset reports the location, date, time, and length of tow for each sample. Plankton species were categorized as Ceratium spp., Dinophysis spp., other dinoflagellates, Chaetoceros/Bacteriastrum spp., Rhizosolenia/Guinardia spp, Eucampia/Hemiaulus spp., other chain-forming diatoms, Thalassionematales spp., Nitzschioid diatoms, other diatoms, Cyanobacteria (Trichodesmium spp.), and zooplankton. Abundances were recorded as individual counts as well as percentages of the total sample. Water column profiles were collected at 18 stations and the data includes CTD, dissolved oxygen, oxygen saturation, Chlorophyll-a, and Color Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) fluorescence and turbidity measurements.

This dataset contains CTD and plankton species relative abundance data collected during R/V Bellows cruise BE-1403 from 2013-09-14 to 2013-09-16. CTD data were collected from 27 sample sites, while plankton samples were collected from 14 offshore shelf sites off the Florida Panhandle at the head of DeSoto Canyon using a net with a mesh size of 25-micrometer and 0.5-meter diameter. Plankton abundance data report the location, date, time, and length of tow for each sample. Plankton species are categorized as Ceratium spp., Dinophysis spp., other dinoflagellates, Chaetoceros spp., Rhizosolenia/Guinardia, Eucampia/Hemiaulus, other chain-forming diatoms, Thalassionema spp., Nitzschioid diatoms, other diatoms, cyanobacteria (Trichodesmium spp.), and zooplankton. Abundances were recorded as individual counts as well as percentages of the total sample. Diatoms and dinoflagellates counted as cells, cyanobacteria as colonies/filaments, and zooplankton as individuals.

Bottle, CTD, and XBT data were collected in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans from the John P. Tully and other vessels from 03 August 1959 to 01 July 2001. Data include temperature and salinity profiles. Data also include concentration profiles of chlorophyll a, oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate. Data were submitted by the Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) of Canada and are in the MEDS ASCII format.

Nutrients, salinity, temperature, and other data were collected from multiple ships from January 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999. Data were submitted by Messina Institute of Experimental Thalassography. Data were collected using bottle, CTD, and XBT casts in the Southern Ocean. These data files are in NODC SD2 format. The SD2 file format is used for physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Most of the observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. A small amount (about 5%), were obtained using electronic CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) or STD (salinity-temperature-depth) recorders. The CTD/STD data were reported to NODC at depth levels equivalent to Nansen cast data, however, and have been processed and stored the same as the Nansen data. Cruise information, position, date and time are reported for each station. Each station contains the measurements taken at observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels.

This dataset contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation River, Estuary and Coastal Observing Network, collected the data from their in-situ Shell Point station in the Coastal Waters of Florida and North Atlantic Ocean. Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA), which assembles data from Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation River, Estuary and Coastal Observing Network, and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Southeast United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program. NCEI updates this dataset when new files are available.

Bottle and other data were collected from the Indian and North Atlantic oceans from R/V ALMIRANTE LACERDA and other platforms from 12 July 1966 to 05 June 1980. Data include temperature, pH, and salinity profiles. Data also include concentration profiles of total phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, oxygen, chlorophyll a, particulate organic carbon, ammonia, and silicate. Data were submitted by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABOM) and are in the comma separated value (.csv) format.

This dataset contains temperature, pressure/depth, and multiple nutrients values from bottle casts and CTD casts in the Weddell Sea from the R/V MELVILLE during the March 1986 field season. This cruise was funded by the US National Science Foundation as one of several projects funded under the Antarctic Marine Ecosystem Research at the Ice Edge Zone (AMERIEZ) program.

This dataset contains water tempaerature, salinity, and others taken by CTD cast in Gulf of America and the Northern Atlantic Ocean during the Southeast US Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (SEUS MBON) research cruises. Data are in CSV format.
