Temperature profile, nutrients, and other data were collected using plankton net, bottle, and CTD casts from the POLARSTERN in the Southern Oceans. Data were collected from 02 October 1992 to 25 November 1992. Data were collected and submitted by Netherlands Institute for Sea Research with support from the US JGOFS Antarctic Environments Southern Ocean Process Study (JGOFS/AESOPS) project.

The water depth and temperature data were collected in arctic west from ship POLAR STAR between August 11, 1992 and October 6, 1992. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data were submitted on a diskette by Ms. Diane Foster of US Coast Guard, Groton CT. The data have been converted and are now available on line in C116 (XBT) file format of NODC. The data type C116 contained 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. 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.

This dataset contains data collected from 80 casts in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) as part of Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System (SEAS) III program. The cruises were conducted using ship POLAR STAR. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between June 9, 1991 and October 23, 1991. The data were sent from the cruise ships to the US Coast Guard, Groton CT via telecommunication. This data was submitted in a diskette and is currently available in the C116 file format of NODC.

Temperature profile, pressure, and chemical data were collected using XBT, bottle, and CTD casts in the Arctic Ocean from May 6, 2003 to May 5, 2004. Data were collected and submitted by the Polar Science Center; Applied Physics Lab; University of Washington and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

The water depth and temperature data was collected from ship Polar Star. The data was collected from November 2, 1989 to April 11, 1990 as part of project Deep Freeze. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was submitted in two diskettes by US Coast Guard, Groton, CT. The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116 file format of NODC.

Arctic Ocean Expedition 1991 (ODEN-91) Final Calibrated Pressure-Series CTD Data (Pressure, Temperature, Salinity) was collected from ODEN in the Arctic Ocean from August 20, 1991, to October 03, 1991. These data were submitted by Sarilee Anderson, Research Associate with Joe Reid, STS/ODF CTD Group, Oceanographic Data Facility, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego. The data is available in 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.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD); and other data were collected using ship POLARSTERN from Arctic Ocean. The data was collected from August 10, 1993 to September 24, 1993. One diskette of CTD data was obtained based on recommendation of Dr. Robin D. Muench, Earth and Space Research, Seattle. Dr. Muench was a participant in R/V POLARSTERN CRUISE ARK IX/4. The data was collected by Ursula Schauer, German Data Center, Alfred-Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven, Germany.

The water depth and temperature data was collected in South Pacific Ocean as part of project Deep Freeze from ship POLAR STAR. The data was collected from November 8, 1992 to April 12, 1993. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was submitted in a diskette by Ens. Quenton Maddux, US COAST GUARD, Groton, CT. The data has been converted and is now available on line in C116 file format of NODC.

Temperature profile data were collected using CTD casts from the USS PARGO in the Arctic Ocean. Data were collected from 26 August 1993 to 04 September 1993. Data were collected by the National Snow and Ice Data Center and it was submitted by the Arctic Submarine Laboratory (ASL) with support from the Scientific Ice Expeditions (SCICEX) project.

Temperature and salinity profiles from CTD casts in the Atlantic Ocean from the R/V Oceanus from 09 September 1984 to 17 November 1985. Data were collected in conjunction with the Mediterranean Eddy (MEDDY) experiment. Data were collected by the University of Rhode Island; Graduate School of Oceanography.
