Data from 146 stations containing 7,614 records was submitted on a tape by Dr. Thomas Berger, Science Applications, Inc., Raleigh NC.

Current meter data were collected using moored current meter casts in the TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) from December 27, 1980 to June 26, 1986. Data were submitted by Edward K. Noda and Associates as part of the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F015) format.

Temperature profile and water depth data were collected using BT, AXBT, and XBT casts from AIRCRAFT in Gulf of Mexico. Data were collected from 03 August 1993 to 05 August 1993 by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) with support from the Louisiana / Texas Study Physical Oceanography Program - Task C Eddy Circulation Study (LATEX PART C) project.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected from NOAA Ship WHITING cruises 93115-194. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 25, 1993 to July 13, 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 Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NE Pacific (limit-180). Data was collected from Ship MOANA WAVE cruises MW9010 & MW9012. The data was collected over a period spanning from August 6, 1990 and December 13, 1990. Data was submitted via File transfer protocol by Dr. Pierre Flament, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD); and Transmissivity and Fluorescence data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) project. Data was collected from Ship GYRE cruise 93G12. The data from 15 casts containing 11,448 records was collected over a period spanning from October 28, 1993 and November 3, 1993. Data was submitted in one diskette by Mr. P.V. Pittman, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.

This data is a special submission to NODC containing wave data during Hurricane Andrew August 25-26, 1992. This data file contains 24 bursts spaced at 2 hour intervals. Each burst contains 2048 points sampled at 2 Hz. The positive U and V axis must be rotated +105 degrees in the mathematical sense in order to align the +V axis with true north. For this data a time stamp of the first point of the burst is followed by 2048 points of data. The meter is located 2 meters above bottom.

Hydrographic data were collected from CTD casts in the coastal waters of California from the E.B. SCRIPPS and the R.G. SPROUL. Data were collected by the School of Ocean Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaii from 13 August 1984 to 27 July 1985. Parameters include water temperature, salinity, sigma-t, and water depth.

The Sea surface topography, absorption, scattering, attenuation coefficients and other data used to develop AVHRR satellite products in this accession was collected from NOAA-11 satellite in East Coast US/Canada as part of Coastal Ocean Program / Coastwatch. The data was collected between January 1, 1994 and December 6, 1994 by National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), Suitland, MD.

The water depth and temperature data was collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from ships SKOGAFOSS, OLEANDER, and YANKEE CLIPPER as part of Ship Of Opportunity Programme (SOOP). The data was collected from February 6, 1993 to December 5, 1993. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT) data was received via telecommunication by National Marine Fisheries Service, Narragansett, RI. Data has been processed to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (BT) data format.
