The water depth and temperature data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) project from R/V WIECZNO cruise WI86-01 between July 31, 1986 and September 16, 1986. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was submitted on a diskette by Pat Turner, National Marine Fisheries Service, Narragansett, RI. The data have been converted and are now available on line in C116 (XBT) file format of NODC.

CTD (depth, temperature, conductivity) data, plus fluorescence and light transmission data, collected as part of SLIX (Surface Biological Oil Slick Experiment) by the R/V WECOMA in the eastern north Pacific between October 8, 1989 and October 27, 1989. All data were submitted on a floppy disc as ASCII files in a columnar format. The file README.DOC describes the data collection and recording methods. Principal Investigator was Dr. David Carlson of Oregon State University Location.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and digital XBT data were collected as part of Florida Straits Physical Oceanography project. Data was collected from Ship SEAWARD EXPLORER. The data was collected over a period spanning from November 1990 to November 1991 under contract MMS 14-35-0001-30493. CTD data containing 138 observations was submitted in a tape by Dr. Evans Waddell, Science Applications, Inc., Raleigh NC in F022 file format. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD Hi resolution and C116 Bathythermograph XBT file formats of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Gulf of Alaska. Data was collected from Ships ALPHA HELIX and LITTLE DIPPER. The data was collected over a period spanning from January 28, 1992 and April 22, 1992. Data was submitted in a diskette by Dr. Chirk Chu, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

CTD data was collected from the R/V ALPHA HELIX from the NE Pacific (limit-180). Data were collected by the University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science (UAK/IMS) from 09 February 1991 to 25 February 1991. Parameters include temperature and salinity profiles. These data are in NODC standard High-Resolution STD/CTD Data (F022) format.

The data in this accession were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180) from ship J. JONES between October 10, 1991 and June 28, 1992. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the US Navy. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These are radioed every two hours to some military center. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time /date /ship id /latitude /longitude annotated on the strip chart. Thirty nine stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC.

The data in this accession contains files of Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) North Atlantic Bloom Experiment Biogenic Sediment Trap Flux data collected by Dr. S. Honjo of Woods Hole. Data were collected from one mooring at 34N 21W with three traps arrayed at 1km and 2km from the surface and 0.7 km above the sea floor between April 1989 to April 1990. Samples were analyzed to determine concentrations of carbonate, biogenic opal; organic carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen (from decalcified fraction) and phosphorus.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Greenland Sea. Data was collected from Ship BARTLETT. The data was collected over a period spanning from August 2, 1990 to August 20, 1990. Data was submitted in a tape by Mr. Robert H. Bourke, Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Monterey CA. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Greenland Sea. Data was collected from Ship BARTLETT. The data was collected over a period spanning from September 7, 1989 to September 20, 1989. Data was submitted in a tape by Mr. Robert H. Bourke, Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Monterey CA. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

These data are optical measurements of irradiance and fluorescence collected during continuous long track surface measurements made on the Endeavor 168 Cruise between Reykjavik, Iceland and a 60N station. Data parameters include: position, incident par (400-700 nm) irradiance in μmol/sec/m2, and MLML incubator scalar par (400-700 nm) irradiance in μmol/sec/m2. Calculated rescale fluorescence (680 nm) values were also included; the relative units are equal to pigment amounts measured in mg/m3.
