Temperature profile were collected using CTD casts from the R.V. WECOMA and other platforms in the coastal waters of Oregon and California from 28 January 1982 to 04 May 1983. Data were submitted by Oregon State University, US Navy; Ships of Opportunity, and National Marine Fisheries Service. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) and High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) formats. The C116/C118 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. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB. 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 Ship WECOMA cruise # W9308A. The data was collected over a period spanning from August 3, 1993 to August 7, 1993. Raw Data from 7 CTD casts using "SEABIRD" was submitted via FTP by Dr. Frederick Prahl of Oregon State University, Corvallis OR. The study was funded by NSF Grant # OCE 9203292.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data were collected from Coastal Waters of California as part of Northern California Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE). Six months data was collected using Ship WECOMA over a period spanning from November 13, 1988 to May 14, 1989. Data from 863 casts was submitted on a diskette by Dr. Richard Limeburner, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Woods Hole, MA. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

Conductivity-Temperature and Depth data was submitted by Dr. A. Huyer of Oregon State University. The data were collected from NE Pacific (limit-180) from February 5, 1981 to April 14, 1981 on the R/V WECOMA cruise off the coast of California as part of Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment. Format and instrument descriptions are included with the Data Description Format. The data were binary and S. Stillwaugh has requested an ASCII copy. This reference number has been deleted. The replacement data has been processed and is available in NODC F022 data storage format.

The CoOP RISE program collected CTD and water chemistry (macronutrients, chlorophyll) data during four cruises from 2004-2006 off the Oregon and Washington coast, centered on the Columbia River.
