Temperature profile and other data were collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ship MALCOLM BALDRIGE and NOAA Ship DISCOVERER in the North/South Pacific Ocean from 23 February 1990 to 06 December 1990. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) with support from Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (EPOCS) and Climate and Global Change (CGS) project. 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.

Nutrients, temperature profile, and other data were collected using bottle casts from NOAA Ship MALCOLM BALDRIGE in the South Pacific Ocean. Data were collected from 11 July 1991 to 02 September 1991. Nutrients parameters include nitrate, nitrite, oxygen, silicate, and phosphate.

Physical and chemical data were collected using bottle casts in the North Atlantic Ocean and North Pacific Ocean from NOAA Ship MALCOLM BALDRIGE and other platforms from 15 June 1981 to 25 April 1994. Data were collected and submitted by Dr. Richard A. Feely of Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL).

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.

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.

This report contains results from the fifth cruise of the Marine Optical Characterization Experiment. A variety of spectroradiometric observations of the upper water column and atmosphere were made by investigators from the University of Miami, NOAA, CHORS, CICESE, Oregon State University, University of South Florida, UABC, NERSC and MLML. Data presented here were obtained by oceanographic CTD profiler: salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, beam attenuation and chlorophyll-a fluorescence; and by water samplers: total suspended matter and suspended organic carbon and nitrogen, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. Data were collected from 01 October 1999 to 21 October 1999.

Physical, chemical, and other data were collected using meteorological sensors, Secchi disk, and bottle casts in the Pacific Ocean. Data were collected from the THOMAS G. THOMPSON, KANA KEOKI, and WECOMA from June 18, 1976 to June 14, 1977. Data were submitted by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project.

Temperature profile and other data were collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ship RESEARCHER in the SE Pacific Ocean from 12 June 1984 to 30 June 1984. Data were collected by the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, Florida with support from the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (EPOCS) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution STD/CTD Data (F022) format.
