Temperature profile data were collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ship WHITING in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean during the 1998 Field Season from July 5, 1998 to November 13, 1998. Data were submitted by Ruby Becker of the National Ocean Service (NOS).

Temperature profile and other data were collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ship RESEARCHER in the North Atlantic Ocean from 07 March 1981 to 24 July 1981. Data were collected by the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, Florida. 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. 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.

Temperature profile and pressure data were collected from NOAA Ship RUDE from March 28, 2000 to November 9, 2000. Data were submitted by the National Ocean Service (NOS). Data were collected using CTD casts in the Northwest Atlantic 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.

Temperature profile and other data were collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ship RESEARCHER in the North Atlantic Ocean from 22 January 1980 to 03 February 1980.

Physical data were collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ship WHITING in the North Atlantic Ocean. Data include temperature and salinity profiles collected from 1994-04-06 to 1994-05-18 by National Ocean Service. Data are in ASCII text and NCEI F022 High-Resolution STD/CTD formats.

Temperature profile data were collected using XBT and BT casts from NOAA Ship RESEARCHER and other platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and Northwest Atlantic Ocean from 08 January 1987 to 01 July 1987. Data were collected by the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) Miami, Florida and other institutions with support from the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (EPOCS) and SubTropical Atlantic Climate Studies (STACS) projects. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format. The UBT file format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles at depths of about 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Cruise information, position, date, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT data file, in which temperature values are recorded at uniform 5m intervals, the XBT Data File contains temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths are at a minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to record the temperature curve to an acceptable degree of accuracy. On output, however, the user may request temperature values either at inflection points or interpolated to uniform depth increments.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) format. The C116/C118 format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, the XBT data files contained temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB.
