The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in TOGA Area, Atlantic as part of Trans-Atlantic Section 8 (TAS-8) study. Eighteen days data was collected from Ship OCEANUS. The data was collected over a period spanning from March 1, 1989 to March 19, 1989. Data was submitted in a tape by Kristen M. Sanborn of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The Master Oceanographic Observation Data Set (MOODS), maintained by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, is the standard Navy database for oceanographic observations. Data contained in MOODS include observations of thermal and chemical properties of the water column from surface to bottom, the biota and currents in the water column, and the underlying sea floor as collected by oceanographic agencies worldwide. Mr. Mike Jugan submitted the data on November 14, 1991.

Current meter data were collected using moored current meter casts in the TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) from 24 May 1988 to 26 May 1989. Data were submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) with support from the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (EPOCS) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F015) format.

Temperature and salinity profiles from CTD were collected in Gulf of Mexico from High Island 389 Oil Platform. The data was collected from August 22, 1991 to September 10, 1991. Data was submitted in one diskette by Mr David J Voegele of Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. Data has been converted and is also available in the NCEI F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format.

Current meter components data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS from 20 September 1987 to 09 October 1991. Data were collected by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components format.

The data in this accession were collected using USS BUNKER HILL in October 1991. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. Six stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by Mr. Paul Stevens of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center, Monterey CA. The XBT data from these stripcharts have been digitized and are present in the current NODC data storage system in C116 file format.

This dataset contains data collected as part of Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System (SEAS) III program. The cruises were conducted using many different ships. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between January 5, 1989 and September 19, 1991. The data containing 2,458 observations were sent from the cruise ships to the National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD via telecommunication. This data is currently available in the C116 file format of NODC.

Three files of drifting buoy data, collected as part of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) and Observation of Persistent Upwelling Study (OPUS) experiments. Data from files 1 and 2 were collected near Pt. Arena, California in 1981 and 1982; data from file three were collected near Pt. Conception, California in 1983. All files are in ASCII and have the same format; data parameters include date, latitude, longitude, north/south uncertainty, and east/west uncertainty. These data were submitted in a diskette by Russ Davis of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.

This dataset contains data collected from 80 casts in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) as part of Shipboard Environmental data Acquisition System (SEAS) III program. The cruises were conducted using ship POLAR STAR. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between June 9, 1991 and October 23, 1991. The data were sent from the cruise ships to the US Coast Guard, Groton CT via telecommunication. This data was submitted in a diskette and is currently available in the C116 file format of NODC.
