Physical and nutrient profile data were collected using bottle casts from R/V ALPHA HELIX in the Gulf of Alaska from April 6, 1989, to April 11, 1989. Data were submitted by Dr. Thomas C. Royer of University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science. Data were collected by using bottle casts in the Gulf of Alaska.

Nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, and other data were collected from R/V ALPHA HELIX from July 4, 1986 to September 25, 1986. Data were submitted by University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science and California Dept of Fish and Game as part of the Inner Shelf Transport and Recycling Project (ISHTAR). Data were collected using bottle casts in the Bering Sea.

Physical and nutrients data were collected using bottle casts from R/V ALPHA HELIX in Gulf of Alaska from December 3, 1980 to December 11, 1998. These data were submitted by Dr. Thomas C. Royer of University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science.

Nutrients profile data were collected from R/V ALPHA HELIX, THOMAS WASHINGTON, and THOMAS G. THOMPSON from August 12, 1980 to July 17, 1987. Data were submitted by University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science, California Department of Fish and game, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) as part of the AJAX project. Data were collected using bottle and CTD in the Bering Sea and Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, and urea data were collected from R/V ALPHA HELIX from July 13, 1985 to October 14, 1985. Data were submitted by University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science and California Dept of Fish and Game as part of the Inner Shelf Transport and Recycling Project (ISHTAR). Data were collected using bottle casts in the Bering Sea and Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Chemical and depth data were collected from the ALPHA HELIX from September 7, 1987 to June 11, 1988. Data were submitted by the University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science and California Department of Fish and Game. Data were collected using bottle casts in the Bering Sea.

Depth, fluorescence, oxygen, salinity, and water temperature data were collected from R/V ALPHA HELIX from September 17, 1986 to September 25, 1986. Data were submitted by University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science and California Dept of Fish and Game as part of the Inner Shelf Transport and Recycling Project (ISHTAR). These data were collected using CTD casts in the Bering Sea.

Nutrients and temperature profile data were collected using bottle casts in the South Atlantic Ocean from R/V KNORR. Data were collected from 13 November 1983 to 10 December 1983 by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observation with support from the Agulhas Retroflection Cruise.

The University of Alaska is responsible for this data which was collected aboard R/V Alpha Helix cruise HX59, R/V Amak cruise AM04, and R/V Redoubt cruises RT31 - RT41, between 12/1/82 - 03/24/84, by Dr. George Hunt of the University of California, Irvine, and Dr. Burrell of the Institute of Marine Science. There were a total of 120 stations in the Bering Sea area, and a total of 448 stations in the Boca de Quadra area. 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.

Temperature profile and nutrients data were collected using bottle casts in the Ross Sea and Southern Oceans from the NATHANIEL B. PALMER. Data were collected from 09 November 1994 to 08 December 1994. The data were submitted by Oregon State University (OSU) with support from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study / Southern Ocean (JGOFS/Southern Ocean) project.
