Hydrophysical, hydrochemical, and other data were collected from NOAA Ship SURVEYOR from September 10, 1995 to September 19, 1995. Data were submitted by Mr. David Kachel from the US DOC; NOAA; ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LABORATORY; PACIFIC MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY. These data were collected using meteorological sensors, Secchi disks, transmissometers, bottle casts, and CTD casts in the Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from NOAA Ship WHITING. The data was collected over a period spanning from August 3, 1994 to September 29, 1994. Data from 13 CTD casts containing 305 records in Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution exchange format was submitted on a diskette by Ruby Becker of National Ocean Service, Hydrographic Technician, PGMS, Nautical Charting Research and Development Laboratory, Rockville, MD.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Gulf of Mexico, Mid-Atlantic Bight, and NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) using NOAA Ship DELAWARE II over period spanning from January 4, 1991 to December 6, 1994. Data was submitted by Dr. Dave Mountain of National Marine Fisheries Service, Woods Hole, MA. 4 files of data was received by NODC via File Transfer Protocol from George Heimerdinger.

Hydrochemical, hydrophysical, and other data were collected from NOAA Ship OREGON II, ENDEAVOR, OCEANUS, NOAA Ship CHAPMAN, SEWARD JOHNSON, NOAA Ship DELAWARE II, and NOAA Ship ALBATROSS IV from June 9, 1991 to April 19, 1996. Data were submitted by Dr. Dave Mountain of US DOC; NOAA; NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE - WOODS HOLE. These data were collected using bottle casts in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180) as part of Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI) project. Data was collected from NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 2, 1991 and October 5, 1991. Tape containing 287 castes of CTD was submitted by Ms. Leslie Lawrence of Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), Seattle, WA. This dataset contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-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 1 m. 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. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other SEACAT data were collected from Gulf of Mexico, NE Pacific (limit-180). Data was collected from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER, NOAA Ship MT. MITCHELL, and NOAA Ship WHITING. The data containing 7 casts was collected over a period spanning from May 27, 1991 and September 5, 1991. Data was submitted in three diskettes by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. This data set contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-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 1 m.
