This dataset contains sea water property (profile) data taken by Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) from NOAA Ship Nancy Foster during two merged collaborative fisheries oceanography surveys (described in detail below). Data cover 2016-05-10 to 2016-06-15 period. The vessel's Sea-Bird Electronics (SBE) 911plus CTD system was operated at 119 discrete station locations along the survey track. At each location, the CTD package was lowered from the surface to a predetermined depth, sampling continuously. The CTD was configured with a pressure sensor, dual temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen sensors, a chlorophyll a (chl_a) fluorometer, a colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) fluorometer, and an altimeter. The sensor package was attached to a frame configured with a 24-bottle water sampler and 10-liter Niskin water sampling bottles. The raw CTD data were post-processed to a final state using the SBE Data Processing Software package (Windows-based, publicly available at www.seabird.com). The specific subroutines applied to the data are outlined in the header of each ascii data file found in the dataset (.cnv files). The header of each file also includes the time and location of the cast. In addition to the ascii data in this data submission, .jpg plots of each CTD cast have also been included. These data were not calibrated to bottle samples and are considered final. The measured and derived parameters in this dataset are: Time of Cast (elapsed from start, s) Pressure (Digiquartz, db) Temperature (from primary sensor, ITS-90, deg C) Temperature (from secondary sensor, ITS-90, deg C) Conductivity (from primary sensor, S/m) Conductivity (from secondary sensor, S/m) Dissolved Oxygen Raw Voltage (from primary sensor, SBE 43, 0-5 VDC) Dissolved Oxygen Raw Voltage (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, 0-5 VDC) CDOM Relative Fluorescence (WET Labs CDOM Fluorometer, 0-5 VDC) CHL_A Relative Fluorescence (WET Labs ECO-AFL Fluorometer, 0-5 VDC) Altimeter (when in range, depth off the bottom, m) Depth (in salt water, m) Density (from primary sensors, sigma-theta, kg/m^3) Density (from secondary sensors, sigma-theta, kg/m^3) Potential Temperature (from primary sensors, ITS-90, deg C) Potential Temperature (from secondary sensors, ITS-90, deg C) Sound Velocity (from primary sensors, Chen-Millero, m/s) Sound Velocity (from secondary sensors, Chen-Millero, m/s) Dissolved Oxygen (from primary sensor, SBE 43, ml/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from primary sensor, SBE 43, mg/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from primary sensor, SBE 43, umol/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from primary sensor, SBE 43, umol/kg) Dissolved Oxygen (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, ml/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, mg/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, umol/l) Dissolved Oxygen (from secondary sensor, SBE 43, umol/kg) Salinity (from primary sensors, Practical, PSU) Salinity (from secondary sensors, Practical, PSU) The NOAA fleet cruise IDs for these two surveys are NF-16-02 and NF-16-03. However, the CTD were processed together and the cruise ID NF-16-02 refers to data from both cruises. A completed cruise track and project overviews are presented in the included supporting document: NF1602_and_NF1603_CTD_overview.pdf.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and oxygen data taken by CTD and water sampling from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the North Atlantic Ocean. Cruise RB-20-07 in 2020 had the objective to service a number of moored platforms for the MOVE project (Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment). To calibrate and validate the mooring data, CTD casts with salinity and oxygen water samples were collected; these data are reported here. The CTD sensor data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. The raw CTD data are available as separate files. Data are in NetCDF.

This dataset contains Water temperature, salinity, and oxygen data from CTD and water sampling taken from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown, cruise RB-22-04, in the Northwestern Tropical Atlantic. Cruise RB-22-04 by research vessel Ronald H. Brown in 2022 had the objective to service a number of moored platforms for the NTAS and MOVE projects (Northwest Tropical Atlantic Station and Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment, resp.). To calibrate and validate the mooring data, CTD casts with salinity and oxygen water samples were collected; these data are reported here. The CTD sensor data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. Data are in NetCDF. The raw CTD data are available as separate files.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and oxygen profiles taken by CTD and water sampling. Cruise RB-20-06 by NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in 2020 had the objective to service moored platforms for the NTAS and MOVE projects (Northwest Tropical Atlantic Station and Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment). To calibrate and validate the mooring data, CTD casts with salinity water samples were collected; these data are reported here. The CTD sensor data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. The raw CTD data are available as separate files. Data are in NetCDF.

Temperature, salinity and other measurements found in datasets XBT and CTD taken from NOAA Ship RONALD H. BROWN (NOAA SHIP - Call Sign WTEC) (formerly NOAA Ship RESEARCHER II) and NOAA Ship NANCY FOSTER (Radio Call Sign WTER) in the North Atlantic, Equatorial Atlantic and other locations from 1998 to 2007.

Temperature and salinity profiles were collected from CTD casts from NOAA Ship ALBATROSS IV and other platforms from 1987-08-04 to 2017-09-27 by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and the Marine Resources Research Institute in support of the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction (MARMAP) and the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP-SA) programs. The accession consists of three comma separated value files that contain the following parameters: Temperature, Salinity, Oxygen, Chlorophyll a, Phosphate (PO4), Nitrate (NO4), Nitrite (NO3), Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), optical backscatter, and turbidity. The data are binned by one meter increments. The data was collected in support of the MARMAP and SEAMAP-SA programs which conducts reef fish assessments from North Carolina to northern Florida.

This dataset contains CTD profiles of temperature, salinity, and oxygen from the 2022 Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) Northeast Extension cruise RB-22-04 on board of the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown. Data are in NetCDF.

This dataset contains CTD casts and salinity water samples taken from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown (cruise RB1009) from 2010-11-29 to 2010-12-16. A number of moored platforms for the Northwest Tropical Atlantic Station (NTAS) and Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment (MOVE) projects were serviced during the cruise. These data were used to calibrate and validate the mooring data. The CTD salinity data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. The raw CTD data files are already available via NCEI accession 0097968. Data are in NetCDF format.
