This dataset contains data from 84 high resolution CTD stations, collected 26 Dec 1999 to 8 Feb 2000 by R/V Nathaniel B Palmer. These data support the Antarctic Pack Ice Seals (APIS) project, funded by the US National Science Foundation grant #OPP9816086. Data were acquired using a SeaBird 911plus CTD and processed by the data originator with SeaBird data processing software. File format information, contact information for the Principal Investigators, and other important metadata are available in the file data/1-data/Readme.

This data set is a hydrographic survey collected by CTD and ADCP throughout West Antarctica, but largely in the Bellingshausen and Amundsen Seas, during the research cruise NBP19-01 on the research vessel Nathaniel B. Palmer. Each of the 78 stations provide full-depth profiles of temperature, salinity, oxygen, fluorescence and PAR. Velocity profiles were also collected from a Lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (LADCP). The temperature, salinity and velocity measurements have been calibrated and quality controlled (see link to cruise report below). All other properties have not been calibrated at this time. This data set also contains glider data obtained during the second part of the project. Please contact the PI, Andrew Thompson for further information. Data are in NetCDF. See list of related publications and cruise report under the Documentation.

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from NATHANIEL B. PALMER in the South Pacific Ocean from 1996-08-30 to 1996-09-24 and retrieved during cruise NBP-9604 and Ross_Sea_320619960830. These data include AMMONIUM, DELTA CARBON-13, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHOSPHATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, SILICATE and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Louis A. Codispoti of Horn Point Laboratory (UMCES HPL) and Robert F. Anderson of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) as part of the CLIVAR_Ross_Sea_320619960830 dataset. The International CLIVAR Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program carries out a systematic and global re-occupation of select WOCE/JGOFS hydrographic sections to quantify changes in storage and transport of heat, fresh water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and related parameters.

This dataset includes discrete profile measurements of temperature and salinity collected during the R/V James Clark Ross cruise JR306 (EXPOCODE 74JC20150110) in the South Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean from 2015-01-10 to 2015-01-22. Data were collected and made publicly available by GO-SHIP program with National Capability funding from the UK Natural Environment Research Council to the National Oceanography Centre Southampton.

This dataset includes discrete profile measurements of temperature and salinity collected during the R/V James Clark Ross cruise JR55 (EXPOCODE 74JC20001121) in the South Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean from 2000-11-21 to 2000-12-14. Data were collected and made publicly available by WOCE/CLIVAR with National Capability funding from the UK Natural Environment Research Council to the National Oceanography Centre Southampton.

Nutrients and other data were collected from CTD and bottle casts in the Antarctic Ocean from the Nathaniel B. Palmer from 18 October 1996 to 30 April 1997. Data were collected as part of the Ross Sea Process 1 Cruise project and the JGOFS, Antarctic Environments Southern Ocean Process Study. Data include water depths, ammonium concentrations, and urea concentrations.

We are reporting ocean pressure, temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen data from 160 CTD/O stations occupied in the Amundsen Sea. These austral summer observations, most extending from within a few meters of the sea surface to a few meters of the sea floor, comprise the major portion of several related data sets obtained during cruise NBP09-01, from Punta Arenas to Punta Arenas, Chile. Additional sampling was undertaken for several geochemical and biological parameters, and ocean currents, along with continuous underway mapping of sea surface properties, meteorological variables and bathymetry.

CTD, bottle, meteorological, and other data were collected from the Southern Oceans (>60 degrees South) from the Nathaniel B. Palmer from 14 February 1994 to 31 March 1994. CTD data include profiles of temperature, salinity, and oxygen concentrations. Bottle data include concentration profiles of oxygen, silicate, phosphate, nitrate, and total CO2. Meteorological data include barometric pressure, wind speed, and wind direction. Data were submitted by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.

Salinity data were collected using moored current meter casts in the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and Gulf of Alaska from October 3, 1984 to May 1, 1988. Data were submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of the Arctic Polynya EXperiment (APEX) and Fisheries-Oceanography Cooperative Investigation (FOCI) project. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015- Current Meter Data and F017- Pressure Gauge Data formats. The F015 format is used for time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed point and measure flow past a sensor. Position, bottom depth, sensor depth, and meter characteristics are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) current vector components at specified date and time. Current direction is defined as the direction toward which the water is flowing with positive directions east and north and negative directions west and south. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10-15 minute time intervals. Water temperature, pressure, and conductivity or salinity may also be reported. A text record is available for optional comments. The F017 format contains time series measurements of seawater pressure from anchored or bottom-mounted sensors. Measurements of variations at depth of seawater pressure provide information on tidal and storm flows, ocean circulation, and other phenomena that cause changes in sea surface elevation or slope and that can be detected from their pressure signature. Position, bottom depth, and gauge depth are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of total pressure at specified date and time. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at time intervals of 10-15 minutes. Seawater temperature may also be reported. Comments may be reported in a text record.
