The high resolution Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data were collected by NOAA Ship WHITING from NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). The data was collected over a three month period spanning from August 19, 1989 to November 10, 1989 by National Ocean Service (NOS) Rockville, MD. 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 Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected from NOAA Ship WHITING cruises 93115-194. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 25, 1993 to July 13, 1993. Data was submitted in a diskette by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD); and other data were collected from eleven cruises conducted using four different ships from NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). The data was collected by National Marine Fisheries Service, Woods Hole, MA over a three year period spanning from June 19, 1986 to December 15, 1989. Originator's data submitted in a tape by Dr. David Mountain has been processed by NODC and is currently available in F022 file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected as part of Warm Core Rings project. One year data consisting of five cruises was collected from NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) using NOAA Ship Delaware II and NOAA Ship Albatross IV. The data was collected over a period spanning from September 23, 1981 to September 27, 1982. Data was submitted by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Woods Hole, MA. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other SEACAT data were collected from Gulf of Mexico, NE Pacific (limit-180). Data was collected from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER, NOAA Ship MT. MITCHELL, and NOAA Ship WHITING. The data containing 7 casts was collected over a period spanning from May 27, 1991 and September 5, 1991. Data was submitted in three diskettes by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. This data set contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (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.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from NOAA Ship WHITING. The data was collected over a period spanning from August 3, 1994 to September 29, 1994. Data from 13 CTD casts containing 305 records in Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution exchange format was submitted on a diskette by Ruby Becker of National Ocean Service, Hydrographic Technician, PGMS, Nautical Charting Research and Development Laboratory, Rockville, MD.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) and Ocean Station (C100) formats. The Oceanographic Station Data (C100) format contains physical-chemical oceanographic data recorded at discrete depth levels. Most of the observations were made using multi-bottle Nansen casts or other types of water samplers. A small amount (about 5 percent) were obtained using electronic CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) or STD (salinity-temperature-depth) recorders. The CTD/STD data were reported to NODC at depth levels equivalent to Nansen cast data, however, and have been processed and stored the same as the Nansen data. Cruise information (e.g., ship, country, institution), position, date, and time, and reported for each station. The principal measured parameters and temperature and salinity, but dissolved oxygen, phosphate, total phosphorus, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, and pH may be reported. Meteorological conditions at the time of the cast (e.g., air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) may also be reported, as well as auxiliary data such as water color (Forel-Ule scale), water transparency (Secchi disk depth), and depth to bottom. Values of density (sigma-t) sound velocity, and dynamic depth anomaly are computed from measured parameters. Each station contains the measurements taken at the observed depth levels, but also includes data values interpolated to a set of standard depth levels.
