CTD, bottle, and other data were collected from the CHARLES DARWIN and other vessels in the Atlantic Ocean from 10 April 1969 to 17 August 1995. CTD data include temperature and salinity profiles. Bottle data include profiles of percent oxygen saturation, sigma-t, computed potential attenuance, and chlorophyll concentration. Data were submitted by the British Oceanographic Data Center (BODC).

Bottle, CTD, and XBT data were collected in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans from the John P. Tully and other vessels from 03 August 1959 to 01 July 2001. Data include temperature and salinity profiles. Data also include concentration profiles of chlorophyll a, oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate. Data were submitted by the Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) of Canada and are in the MEDS ASCII format.

Physical and other data were collected from CTD and bottle casts from MULTIPLE PLATFORMS from the North Atlantic Ocean. Data were collected from the 05 August 1902 to 11 February 1999. Parameters include water depth, temperature, salinity, alkalinity, and pH. Parameters also include concentrations of chlorophyll, oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, ammonium, total dissolved inorganic carbon, and total dissolved organic carbon.

Physical and nutrients data were collected from CTD and bottle casts from the AFEILY and other platforms in the North Atlantic Ocean from 04 January 1969 to 13 June 1991. Physical parameters include profiles of temperature and salinity. Nutrient parameters include concentrations of oxygen and phosphate. Data are in the International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES) format.

Temperature, salinity, and other data were collected using bottle, CTD, and XBT casts in the North/South Atlantic Ocean and North/South Pacific Ocean from April 12, 1960 to October 27, 1999. Data were submitted by Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS). Other data include alkalinity, ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, and oxygen.

Temperature profile, algal species, and other data were collected using water bottle or CTD casts in the North Atlantic Ocean from WEST-HINDER and other platforms. Data were collected from 25 August 1903 to 14 November 1997 by International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES).

Bottle and CTD data collected in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean during fisheries research cruises organized by the Instituto Nacional de Investigacion y Desarrollo Pesquero (INIDEP), Argentina, using several platforms, 1995 - 1998.

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from L'ATALANTE in the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2003-04-12 to 2003-04-25 and retrieved during cruise CARIBINFLOW and CARINA_35A320030412. These data include DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Monika Rhein and Reiner Steinfeldt of Universität Bremen, Institut für Umweltphysik as part of the CARINA_35A320030412 dataset. The CARINA (CARbon dioxide IN the Atlantic Ocean) data synthesis project is an international collaborative effort of the EU IP CARBOOCEAN, and U.S. partners. It has produced a merged internally consistent dataset of open ocean subsurface measurements for biogeochemical investigations, in particular, studies involving the carbon system. The original focus area was the North Atlantic Ocean, but over time the geographic extent expanded and CARINA now includes data from the entire Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean.

Physical, nutrients, and other data were collected from CTD, MBT, XBT, and bottle casts from the Indian Ocean. Data were collected from 01 January 1976 to 31 December 1996. XBT parameters include temperature profiles. Bottle and CTD parameters include temperature, salinity, and concentrations of oxygen, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and alkalinity.

This dataset includes CTD and Bottle data, from mostly French platforms, and provided by IFREMER, including 31 CTD data files with 1537 stations from 1987 to 2003, 31 Bottle data files with 1467 stations from 1990 to 2002, and 37 Historical Bottle data files with 1300 stations from 1964 to 1973. All data files are in the MEDATLAS format. The historical files were digitilized in 2003 by IFREMER from the original paper data.
