CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) data from ALPHA HELIX from Prince William Sound (Gulf of Alaska) from 1986-12-15 to 1986-12-18 (NCEI Accession 7000052)

The University of Alaska, Institute of Marine Science is responsible for this data collected aboard the R/V Alpha Helix on cruise number HX94 between 15-Dec-1986 to 19-Dec-1986 by Dr. T.C. Royer of the Institute of Marine Science. There was a total of 17 stations in the Gulf of Alaska and Prince William Sound area. The station numbers are 1-12 and 14-18. Data has been processed to the NODC standard High-Resolution STD/CTD Data (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.
