The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD); and other data were collected from eleven cruises conducted using four different ships from NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). The data was collected by National Marine Fisheries Service, Woods Hole, MA over a three year period spanning from June 19, 1986 to December 15, 1989. Originator's data submitted in a tape by Dr. David Mountain has been processed by NODC and is currently available in F022 file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected using SEACAT recorders from North American Coast line. NOAA Ship Whiting was used to collect data. The data was collected over a three month period spanning from April 20, 1990 to June 28, 1990 by National Ocean Service, Norfolk, VA. Data was submitted in one diskette of "SEACAT" CTD data. The data has been processed and is currently available in F022 CTD high resolution file format of NODC.

This dataset includes current speed and velocity data collected using TICUS II current meters by Office of Marine Surveys and Maps, National Ocean Service, from NOAA Ship FERREL on the South Coastal Plains Expedition in 1973.

The data in this accession was collected using a SEACAT Conductivity and Temperature recorder to measure Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) using NOAA Ship Whiting to collect data from NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). The data was collected over two month period spanning from February 27, 1990 to April 6, 1990 by National Ocean Service, Norfolk, VA. Originator's data submitted in a diskette has been processed and is available in F022-CTD Hi resolution file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected from NOAA Ship WHITING cruises 93115-194. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 25, 1993 to July 13, 1993. Data was submitted in a diskette by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

Wave spectra, meteorological, and other data were collected from NOAA Ship FERREL. Data were collected by the National Ocean Service (NOS) from 07 September 1982 to 06 November 1982. Data has been processed by NODC to the standard NODC F191-Meteorology and Wave Spectra format. Data in this accession do not completely conform to the F191 format. The F191 format is used to report meteorological data and ocean wave spectra data from NDBO. The format contains seven data record types to: 1) identify the buoy for position, duration, rate of sampling and heading, 2) identify the meteorological parameters, (temperature, pressure, weather, solar radiation, and surface waves), and 3) report time times series frequency, density and resolution of waves. Each record is 120 character in length, sorted by station and record type.

Wave spectra, meteorological, and other data were collected from NOAA Ship FERREL. Data were collected by the National Ocean Service (NOS) from 17 May 1982 to 12 August 1982.

The high resolution Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data were collected by NOAA Ship WHITING from NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). The data was collected over a three month period spanning from August 19, 1989 to November 10, 1989 by National Ocean Service (NOS) Rockville, MD. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution CTD/STD (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.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected from NOAA Ship TOWNSEND CROMWELL (cruise # 65) and other platforms. The data was collected over a period spanning from June 20, 1975 to July 3, 1975. Data was submitted by National Marine Fisheries Service, La Jolla, CA. The high resolution CTD data is available in the F022 format of NODC.
