Physical, nutrients, and other data were collected from CTD and bottle casts from the North Pacific Ocean from 19 February 1991 to 31 December 2000. Parameters include water depth, temperature, and salinity. Parameters also include concentrations of chlorophyll, silicate, phosphate, nitrate, and nitrite. Minkley, B.G., and F.A. Whitney. 2001. Summary of Hydrographic/CTD Observations made along Line P and at Station P: 1991-1999. Canadian Data Report of Hydrography and Ocean Sciences No. 156: 40 p. A summary of 30 missions which sampled part or all of Line P between January 1991 and December 1999 is provided. Plots of mission tracks show the areas surveyed, participants are listed, and types of sampling, inventoried. A review of sampling equipment outlines the conversion from 1.7 litre Niskin bottles mounted on 5/32-inch wire hydro wire to CTD/Rosette cast sampling using 10 litre bottles. Missions which supported programs for World Ocean Circulation Experiment and Joint Global Ocean Flux Studies are listed. A previous report contained observations for the period January 1980 to December 1989 and is found in Canadian Data Report of Hydrography and Ocean Sciences No.136, by Tabata and Brown.

Chemical and temperature profile data were collected using bottle and CTD casts from the THOMAS THOMPSON in the Pacific Ocean from March 19, 1992 to October 21, 1992. Data were collected three different universities and a institution; Oregon State University, University of Washington, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and University of Maryland; Horn Point Environmental Laboratory as part of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study/Equatorial Pacific Basin Study (JGOFS/EQPAC) project.

Physical, chemical, biological, meteorological, and other data were collected from bottle casts, CTD casts, and divers from FIXED PLATFORMS. Data were collected by Western Washington University (WWU) from 06 February 1989 to 12 March 1998. Physical parameters include water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and salinity. Nutrients parameters include concentrations of ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, phaeopigment, and C02. Meteorological parameters include wind speed, rainfall, and cloud cover. Skin diver data include sighting of juvenile rockfish, collection of sea cucumbers, and collection of green urchins.

CTD, bottle, and other data were collected from the CHARLES DARWIN and other vessels in the Atlantic Ocean from 10 April 1969 to 17 August 1995. CTD data include temperature and salinity profiles. Bottle data include profiles of percent oxygen saturation, sigma-t, computed potential attenuance, and chlorophyll concentration. Data were submitted by the British Oceanographic Data Center (BODC).
