Air pressure, current, wind and temperature time series data were collected from moored buoys from TOGA Area in Pacific (30 N to 30 S). Buoy data from the equatorial pacific was submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and collected as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project. Four buoys were deployed from November 6, 1977 to March 24, 1978 (buoys H1 thru H4). The data were collected by the Deep Sea Physics Group and submitted by Dr. P. Freitag.

Temperature, east-west current component, north-south current component, and current direction/speed data were collected from mooring buoy from the Atlantic Ocean. Data were submitted by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as a part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project.

Sea surface temperature and other data were collected using drifting buoy from June 28, 1976 to September 20, 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 and depth data were digitized from mechanical bathythermograph (MBT) analog output from the Pacific and Indian Ocean from July 1932 to July 15, 1970. Data were submitted by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as a part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project.

Temperature, depth, and other data were collected using bathythermograph (BT/XBT) casts from DANT and other platforms in the Pacific Ocean from February 6, 1975 to July 28, 1975. Data were submitted by US Navy; Ships of Opportunity as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format. The UBT format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, the XBT data files contained temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m.

Temperature profile data were collected using bathythermograph (BT/XBT/AXBT) casts from the Pacific Ocean from March 7, 1977 to March 31, 1979. Data were submitted by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project.

Temperature, pressure, and wind speed/direction data were collected using Scripps Institution of Oceanography Bumble Bee tethered buoys from the Pacific Ocean from August 29, 1961, to June 16, 1973. Data were submitted by Scripps Institution of Oceanography as a part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX).

Temperature profile data were collected using bathythermograph (BT/XBT) casts from SEAPAC BUNKER HILL and other platforms in the Pacific Ocean from January 5, 1981 to February 1, 1988. Data were submitted by US Navy; Ships of Opportunity as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format.

Temperature profile data were collected using bathythermograph (BT/XBT) casts from ALSTER EXPRESS and other platforms in the Pacific Ocean from January 15, 1980 to December 31, 1982. Data were submitted by US Navy; Ships of Opportunity as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format.

Temperature profile data were collected using bathythermograph (BT/XBT) casts from the KANA KEOKI from November 1, 1977 to February 28, 1978. Data were submitted by the University of Hawaii in Manoa as a part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / North Pacific Experiment (IDOE/NORPAX) project.
