Sound velocity and temperature data were collected from the USS PORTER from August 28, 2000 to October 22, 2000. Data were submitted by the US NAVY; Ships of Opportunity using XBT casts and sound velocity strip charts in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.

The sound velocity data in this accession were collected from ship BARRY between August 1, 1993 and August 31, 1994 by US Navy. The sound velocity in water analog profiles data that were recorded in stripcharts. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These were radioed every two hours to a US Navy facility. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time/date/ship id/latitude/longitude annotated on the strip chart. Ninety stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by the US Navy, San Diego, CA. These profile strip charts have not yet been digitized. The analog charts may be reviewed by special arrangement with NODC.

The sound velocity data in this accession were collected on October 29, 1994 by US Navy. The sound velocity in water is analog profiles data that was recorded in stripcharts. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These are radioed every two hours to some military center. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time/date/ship id/latitude/longitude annotated on the strip chart. One stripchart and radio log was submitted to NODC by the US Navy, San Diego, CA.

The sound velocity and other data in this accession has been processed by NODC from a tape submitted by the originator containing Inverted Echo Sounder data from the R/V Endeavor cruise 205, October 1989. It also contains data previously sent to NODC for the Seasonal Equatorial Atlantic (SEQUAL) project for sites Sal and Sol. These data are in NODC format for pressure gauge data (F017) and the format described in the documentation. The file Sal represents observations from several deployments (overlap of instruments) therefore there are duplicates in the data. These data have been released by Dr. Eli Katz from Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory. CTD data was also sent and can be found under track numbers TV5152-TV5154. Data has been re-processed and re-submitted on March 24, 1991. A01402 W18760 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 sound velocity data in this accession were collected in November 1994 by US Navy. The sound velocity in water is analog profiles data that was recorded in stripcharts. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These are radioed every two hours to some military center. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time/date/ship id/latitude/longitude annotated on the strip chart. Eleven stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by the US Navy, San Diego, CA.

The sound velocity data in this accession were collected from USS STUMP DD-978 in February 1994 by US Navy in NE Pacific (limit-180). The sound velocity in water is analog profiles data that was recorded in stripcharts. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These are radioed every two hours to some military center. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time/date/ship id/latitude/longitude annotated on the strip chart. Thirty two stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by the US Navy, San Diego, CA.

Sound velocity and depth observation data were collected using sound velocimeter. Data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico from April 4, 2005 to April 24, 2006. Data were submitted by the National Ocean Service (NOS)

The sound velocity data in this accession were collected from ship CONOLLY between September 11, 1994 and September 25, 1994 by US Navy. The sound velocity in water is analog profiles data that was recorded in stripcharts. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude /longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These are radioed every two hours to some military center. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time/date/ship id/latitude/longitude annotated on the strip chart. Twenty six stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by the US Navy, San Diego, CA.
