The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Cook Inlet, Prince William Sound from NOAA Ship RAINIER. The data was collected over a period spanning from May 16, 1994 to November 4, 1994. Data from 11 CTD casts was submitted on a diskette by Capt. Russell Arnold of National Ocean Service, Seattle WA.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180). Data was collected from NOAA Ship RAINIER. The data was collected over a period spanning from March 23, 1993 to July 31, 1993. Data was submitted in a diskette by Capt. Russell Arnold, Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, Seattle, WA. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC. F022 High-resolution CTD data is collected from high resolution (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.

Pressure, salinity, temperature data were collected from the NOAA LAUNCHES (NOAA Ship RAINIER) from March 13, 2000 to October 26, 2000. Data were submitted by the National Ocean Service (NOS). Data were collected using CTD casts in the Northeast Pacific Ocean.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). Data was collected from NOAA Ship WHITING. The data was collected over a period spanning from October 12, 1994 to November 12, 1994. One diskette of data from 14 casts was submitted by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD.

Temperature profile data were collected using CTD casts in the Northeast Pacific Ocean from the launches of the NOAA Ship RAINIER from 26 August 2006 to 01 November 2006. Data were submitted by Ruby L. Becker of National Ocean Service (NOS) in Silver Spring, Maryland.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). Data was collected from NOAA Ship WHITING. The data was collected over a period spanning from May 25, 1994 to July 23, 1994. Data from 10 CTD casts containing 234 records was submitted in a floppy diskette by Ms. Ruby Becker of National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC. F022 High-resolution CTD data is collected from high resolution (conductivity-temperature-depth) instruments.

Pressure and temperature profile data were collected using CTD casts from the NOAA Survey Vessel BAY HYDROGRAPHER. Data were collected in the Chesapeake Bay from February 3, 2005 to November 21, 2005. Data were submitted by the National Ocean Service (NOS).

Biological data from the Deep Ocean Mining Environmental Study (DOMES) was submitted by R.J. Ozretich from the University of Washington. The data were collected in the North Pacific ocean on three cruises of the OCEANOGRAPHER from April 26, 1978 to March 22, 1979. The cruises can be identified by the following reference numbers: RP01OC78 - L01008; RP13OC78 - L01009; and RP09OC79 - L01010. The parameters reported are temperature, salinity, oxygen, apparent oxygen utilization (AOU), nutrients (PH, Si, NO3, NO2, NH4), ATP, chlorophyll and phaeopigment concentrations. Original DOMES hydro data submitted on tape has been converted into the current NODC data storage format.
