Marine Fish and Shellfish Survey data were collected from otter trawls in the Chukchi Sea from the OCEAN HOPE. Data were collected by the University of Alaska from 16 August 1990 to 31 July 1992. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F123 Fish/Shellfish Surveys format.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea. Data was collected from Ship ALPHA HELIX cruise Aleutian Birds HX-172 funded by National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. The data was collected over a period spanning from July 9, 1993 and August 7, 1993. Data was submitted in a cassette by Dr. Chirk Chu of 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.

Current meter components data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS in the NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) from 19 February 1992. Data were collected by the Science Applications, Inc. (SAI) in support of the Physical Oceanography Field Program Offshore North Carolina. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components 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 28 October 1993 to 23 December 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 Global Positioning System (GPS) tracked drifting buoy data in this accession was collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W) between June 10, 1993 and September 23, 1993 as part of Physical Oceanography Field Program offshore North Carolina by Science Applications, Inc., Raleigh, NC. The project was supported by grant MMS # 14-35-0001-30599 Project # 0208. The water depth and other drifting bouy data from 18 GPS and 1 ARGOS-Tracked drifter submitted in a tape by Ms Susan C. Root has been processed by NODC and is currently available in F156 Drifting Buoy file format.

Temperature profile and water depth data were collected using BT, AXBT, and XBT casts from USS SEA DRAGON and SEA EXPLORER in Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Data were collected from 11 June 1993 to 20 February 1994 by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) with support from the Physical Oceanography Field Program Offshore North Carolina project.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) format.

An international Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) was conducted in the warm-pool region of the western equatorial Pacific Ocean over a four-month period from November 1992 through February 1993 (Webster and Lukas, 1992). Most of the oceanographic and meteorological observations were concentrated in the Intensive Flux Array (IFA) centered at 1 degree, 45'S, 156 degree East. As part of this experiment, R/V Wecoma conducted three survey cruises.

SCUDS (Surface CUrrent Data Summary) Data from Robert Rushton collected between 1894 and 1993 was submitted by Richard Enkoji of NAVOCEANO (US Naval Oceanographic Office, Bay St. Louis, MS) via File Transfer Protocol. Data are contained in 35 files; a READ.ME and a format file are also included. Each record contains: latitude (+ N, - S), longitude (+ E, - W), month, year, day, speed in knots, direction in degrees true, and a source code identifying the principal investigator (US, Dutch, Japanese, British, French, and/or GEK data).

The sound velocity data in this accession were collected from USS STUMP DD-978 by US Navy. The sound velocity in water is analog profiles data that was recorded in stripcharts. 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 four stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by the US Navy, San Diego, CA.

The database from the Endicott Environmental Monitoring Program contains oceanographic, meteorological, and fisheries data for the Prudhoe Bay region (North Alaska, Beaufort Sea, around 152 degrees W /68 degrees N) from 1985-1987. The Endicott program was implemented by Ebasco Environmental and collected meteorological and oceanographic (CTD, currents) data, as well as data related to fisheries, river discharge, coastal sediments, and snow geese program elements. Some of the oceanographic data is related to currents flowing through breaches in the Endicott causeway.
