These data consists of taut moorings designed for long-duration measurement of temperature/pressure time series in the deep ocean. These data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) during the FAME (Fine and Microscale Experiment) and IIWA (Intermediate Internal Wave Array) projects. The data were collected between April 29, 1975 and January 26, 1976 by MIT Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Cambridge, MA using WHOI buoys. The data was submitted by Carl Wunsch and John Dahlen, refer to publication Deep-Sea Research, 1974, vol 21.

The accession contains all of the observations made on the bottle casts during the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS)/ North Atlantic Bloom Experiment as part of North Atlantic Bloom Survey (NABS) from ship ATLANTIS II cruise 119 legs 4 & 5, April - July 1989 in NE Atlantic (limit-40 W). The data consists of three data files: 1. NABE NUTS.DAT contains pressure, depth, temperature, salinity, sigma-t, oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, organic carbon, nitrogen, alkalinity, carbon dioxide and partial pressure of carbon dioxide data. 2.

NITROP - 85 was the major field of experiment of an N.S.F. funded program entitled "Microbial Nitrogen Transformations in the Oxygen Minimum Zone off Peru". This project focused on obtaining a better understanding of the microbially mediated changes in nitrogen pathways and the controls on these pathways in and at the boundaries of the oxygen deficient water masses (O2 HTML Markup Was Removed

Temperature profile data were collected from MBT casts from a a World-Wide distribution. Data were collected from the ALASKA and other platforms from 02 February 1943 to 10 October 1964. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180) as part of Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI) project. Data was collected from NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 2, 1991 and October 5, 1991. Tape containing 287 castes of CTD was submitted by Ms. Leslie Lawrence of Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), Seattle, WA.

Current meter components data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS from the North American Coastline-South from 01 February 1979 to 10 October 1979. Data were collected by the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components format.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other SEACAT data were collected from Gulf of Mexico, NE Pacific (limit-180). Data was collected from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER, NOAA Ship MT. MITCHELL, and NOAA Ship WHITING. The data containing 7 casts was collected over a period spanning from May 27, 1991 and September 5, 1991. Data was submitted in three diskettes by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD.

This dataset contains light transmission data derived from current meter moorings in NE Pacific (limit-180). The data was collected between December 1, 1991 and January 31, 1992. This data is from an Aanderaa Current Meter where the pressure channel has been replaced with light transmission reported as attenuation to thousandths in columns 45 to 49 of record type 4 of F015 current meter format. For this purpose, the record type has been changed to '5'. The complementary current meter data is archived as: TW3719-3757. NE Pacific L01409-L01416.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Coastal Waters of S. Alaska. Data was collected in five cruises from Ship ALPHA HELIX. The data was collected over a period spanning from July 24, 1991 and November 14, 1991. Data was submitted in a tape from cruises L09-L011 and HX159-160 by Dr. Chirk Chu, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK.

The depth data in this accession was collected as part of South Atlantic Ventilation Experiment (SAVE). The cruises were conducted using NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN and NOAA Ship CHAPMAN. The bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected between February 14, 1990 and June 27, 1990.
