The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and nutrient data were collected as part of Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean Circulation Study (WEPOCS). Three year data WEPOCS I, II, III was collected from TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) using Ships THOMAS G. THOMPSON and MOANA WAVE. The data was collected over a period spanning from June 18, 1985 to July 28, 1988. Data was submitted by Dr. Roger Lukas, University of Hawaii at Manoa. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution and C100-Ocean-Station-Data file format of NODC.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT) (C116) format.

Water depth and temperature data was collected from multiple ships such as MICRONESIAN INDEPENDENCE, MICRONESIAN COMMERCE, LARS MAERSK, MCKINNEY MAERSK, MOANA PACIFIC, CHEVRON MISSISSIPPI, SEA-LAND TRADER, SEA-LAND ENTERPRISE, SHIN KASHU MARU, POLYNESIA, and ASIAN PROGRESS. The data was collected from June 8, 1990 to January 14, 1991. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was submitted in a diskette by Dr. Norman Hall of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), La Jolla, CA.

The data in this accession were collected from ship HAMILTON between August 25, 1990 to October 21, 1990. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Coast Guard. Fifty four stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and are present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file format.

Current meter components data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS in the Greenland Sea from 19 May 1989 to 01 July 1990. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components format.

Current meter and pressure gauge data were collected using moored current meter casts and other instruments in the Gulf of Alaska from April 22, 1989 to September 26, 1989. Data were submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of the Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI) project. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015- Current Meter Data and F017- Pressure Gauge formats.

The ARGOS drifting buoy data in this accession was collected as part of Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment (CEAREX) from buoys deployed in Arctic ocean by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, Seattle WA. The data was collected from September 16, 1988 to April 30, 1989. The water depth and other drifting buoy data submitted by Ms. Lynn Long has been processed by NODC and is currently available in F156 Drifting Buoy file format.

This dataset contains data from the Endicott Development Project Environmental Monitoring Program 1985-1987 including meteorology, oceanography, snow goose, fish (including habitat and overwintering), river discharge and breach, bathymetry, sedimentation and erosion, hydrography, and drifters data.

The data in this accession were collected in Caribbean Sea from ship HAMILTON between January 21, 1991 to February 12, 1991. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Coast Guard. Ninety six stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and are present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file format.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected as part of Seasonal Equatorial Atlantic (SEQUAL) project. Data was collected from NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) using ships CAPRICORNE and MARION DUFRESNE. The data was collected over a period spanning from July 6, 1982 to October 30 1987. Replacement for damaged tape containing French CTD data was submitted by Dr. Gilles Reverdin, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Palisades, NY. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.
