Current direction and speed from current meter stations in the North Pacific Ocean from 1965-02-01 to 1969-11-30 (NCEI Accession 6800217)

Data from 29 current meter stations. These measurements were made in the Hawaiian Archipelago and near Palmyra on the Line Islands Expedition between 1965 and 1968. The data include station number, dates, depth, time zone, current speed (cm/s), current direction (degrees true north).

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.
