Physical oceanographic data were collected by Navigation Response Team 4 in the Great Lakes area from 19 June 2008 to 15 October 2008. Data were collected from CTD casts and underway vessel profiler. Temperature and salinity profiles were collected from CTD casts. Sound velocity profiles were collected from the underway vessel profiler. Data are self documenting and are in plain ASCII text.

Temperature profile, pressure, and light transmission data were collected using CTD and light transmission casts in the Northwest Ocean from OCEANUS. Data were collected from 24 April 1981 to 05 May 1981 by US Geological Survey; Woods Hole (USGS). 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.

Physical oceanographic data were collected from NOAA Navigation Response Team-2 in the coastal waters of Florida from 13 February 2006 to 08 November 2006. Data were collected from CTD and sound velocimeter casts. Temperature and salinity profiles were collected from the CTD casts. Sound velocity profiles were collected from the sound velocimeter casts. Data are self documenting and are in plain ASCII text.

Salinity, sound velocity, depth, and temperature data were collected using CTD, XBT, XSV, AXBT, and XCTD casts from May 20, 1978 to September 1, 2000. Data were submitted by the US Naval Oceanographic Office in a world-wide distribution.

This dataset is the final processed data for the following cruises in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, Strait of Juan De Fuca, and Puget Sound from 20030602 to 20061004: 1. ECOHAB/PNW1 aboard the Wecoma (W0306a), 2. ECOHAB/PNW2 aboard the Wecoma (W0308c), 3. ECOHAB/PNW3 aboard the Atlantis (AN1117), 4. ECOHAB/PNW4 aboard the Atlantis (AN1130), 5. ECOHAB/PNW5 aboard R/V Melville (8M0509), and 6. ECOHAB/PNW6 aboard R/V Thomas G. Thompson (TN200). These data were collected using the ships' SBE911+ system with dual Temperature and Conductivity sensors, a Chelsea/SeaTech/Wetlabs (Cstar/ECO-(AFL/FL)) fluorometer sensor, Chelsea/Wetlabs Cstar Transmissometer, a Biospherical Instruments/LICOR PAR (Irradiance) sensor, and a Sea Bird SBE043 dissolved oxygen sensor. The data was initially processed using SeaBird Electronics' processing with SeaBird's standard. recommended parameters. The procedure used for quality-control and calibration post processing follows that developed at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in the Eco-FOCI (Fisheries and Oceanography coordinated Investigations) and other in house procedures.

Temperature, depth, salinity, and sigma-T data were collected using STD/CTD casts from OCEANUS in the Atlantic Ocean from June 6, 1978 to June 22, 1978. Data were submitted by University of Washington as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / combination of USSR POLYGON project and US MODE (IDOE/POLYMODE) 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.

Temperature profile, pressure, oxygen, and light transmission data were collected using transmissometer and CTD casts from the OCEANUS in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Data were collected from 29 January 1982 to 03 February 1982 by US Geological Survey with support from the Ocean Continental Shelf - Georges Bank (OCS - Georges Bank) project. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) format.

Temperature profile data were collected using CTD casts from the CHAIN in the Atlantic Ocean from April 8, 1973 to June 21, 1973. Data were submitted by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment (IDOE/MODE) project.

Temperature profile and pressure data were collected from the NAVIGATION RESPONSE TEAM 2 from April 19, 2001 to December 15, 2001. Data were submitted by National Ocean Service (NOS) using CTD casts in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.
