This dataset is CTD data collected with a Neil Brown CTD Model Mark IIIb from R/V WECOMA from Mar/17/82 to Apr/4/82. 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.

The expedition by research vessel New Horizon from 19 to 22 September 2008 had the objective to deploy a number of moored platforms for the CORC project (Consortium on the Ocean's Role in Climate) off southern California. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, four CTD casts with salinity water samples were collected; these data are reported here. The CTD salinity data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. The raw CTD data files are included for completeness as well.

The expedition by research vessel New Horizon from 15 to 20 December 2009 had the objective to recover and re-deploy a number of moored platforms off southern California. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, 7 CTD casts were done, data of which are reported here. The data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using water sample data, and the raw CTD data files are included as well. The water sample data are available separately at NCEI under accession number 0146024.

Two consecutive expeditions by research vessel New Horizon in April/May 2014 (NH1408 and NH1409) had the objective to recover and re-deploy a number of moored platforms off southern California. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, 9 CTD casts were done, data of which are reported here. The data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using water samples. The water sample data will be available separately at NCEI via accession number 0146024. The raw CTD data will be available separately at NCEI via the R2R program.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180) as part of Eastern Boundary Currents Accelerated Research Initiative. Data was collected from Ship WECOMA cruises # W9306A and W9308B. The data was collected over a period spanning from June 7, 1993 to September 20, 1993. Conventional CTD data from 100 casts and 165 segments (stations) of towed SEASOAR CTD data was submitted by Dr. Adrianna Huyer, Oregon State University, Corvallis OR. Four files of data and two Data Documentation Form files were received by NODC.

The expedition by research vessel Ocean Starr on Aug. 31 and Sept. 01, 2012 had the objective to recover and re-deploy a number of moored platforms from the CORC project (Consortium on the Ocean's Role in Climate) off southern California. To calibrate and validate the mooring data, three CTD casts and a small number of salinity water samples were collected; these data are reported here. The CTD salinity data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. The raw CTD data files are included for completeness as well.

Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) and other data from multiple ships and other platforms were collected from NE Pacific (limit-180) from February 26, 1982 to April 5, 1983. The data was collected as part of Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment and submitted by Oregon State University. The bathythermograph XBT data is in C116 format of NODC while the CTD hi resolution data is in F022 format.
