The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Gulf of Mexico by SEACATs deployed in the area. Data was collected from NOAA Ship WHITING during 7 casts. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 2, 1992 to July 14, 1992. Data was submitted in one diskette by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) project. Data was collected from Ship GYRE. The data was collected over a one year period spanning from January 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993. Data was submitted in one diskette by Dr. Edward Webb, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.

The Ocean Serial data in this accession was collected from NE Atlantic (limit-40 W) using yacht PRINCESS ALICE of Monaco. Oceanographic Station Data was recorded at two depth levels. The data containing 98 records from 25 stations was submitted to NODC by Dr. Harry Dooley, Oceanographic Museum of Monaco via International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, Denmark, via File Transfer Protocol. These data are in NODC SD2 Format.

The drifting buoy data in this accession was collected from 120 stations over 15 year period by US Coast Guard, Groton, CT. The data was collected between April 5, 1976 and October 16, 1991.

Algal species and other data were collected using photographs from swimmers/divers in Southeast Atlantic Ocean. Data were collected from 11 June 1991 to 22 March 1993 by the Coral Cay Conservation.

The accession contains Benthic and Tissue toxin data from stations in U.S. coastal waters (Coastal Waters of Western U.S. and North American Coastline-North) collected under the National Status and Trends (NS&T) program from 1984-1989. NS&T program for marine environmental quality was designed to define the geographic distribution of contaminant concentrations in tissues of marine organisms and sediments, and documenting biological responses to contamination.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) SEACAT data was collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). Data was collected during 17 casts from NOAA Ship WHITING. The data was collected over a period spanning from August 29, 1993 to November 21, 1993. Data was submitted in a diskette by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The accession contains Sediment Toxicity data collected from Gulf of Mexico, Hudson Bay, New York Bight, North American Coastline-North, and Pamlico Sound as part of National Status and Trends (NS&T) program. The data was collected from multiple ships between March 18, 1991 and March 3, 1993 by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. Originator's Macintosh Excel data submitted by Dr. Edward R. Long were converted to Lotus 1-2-3 Format at NODC.

Current meter data were collected using moored current meter casts in the Pacific Ocean from April 30, 1990 to May 15, 1991. Data were submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies (EPOCS) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F015) format.

The data in this accession were collected from ships HMAS COOK, HMAS FLINDERS, HMNZS SOUTHLAND, HMNZS CANTERBURY, HMNZS WAIKATO, and WELLINGTON between April 29, 1986 and November 15, 1993. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the Australian Oceanographic Data Center. 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.
