Current meter data were collected using current meter in the TOGA Area - Pacific Ocean from a fixed platform. Data were collected from 15 June 1980 to 16 December 1981 by Edward K. Noda and Associates with support from the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) project.

Physical profile data were collected using CTD casts in the Coastal Waters of California from R/V POINT SUR. Data were collected from 09 February 1992 to 16 June 1992 by Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.

Physical data were collected using CTD casts from NOAA Ship WHITING in the North Atlantic Ocean. Data include temperature and salinity profiles collected from 1994-04-06 to 1994-05-18 by National Ocean Service. Data are in ASCII text and NCEI F022 High-Resolution STD/CTD formats.

[From the May 1990 report, data/0-data/88-89/report89.txt] The SYNoptic Ocean Prediction experiment (SYNOP) was undertaken with the goal that increased understanding of the Gulf Stream obtained through coordinated observations could be integrated with numerical models, including predictive models of the Gulf Stream. Our moored experiment, which began in fall of 1987, consists of two separate arrays in the Gulf Stream as part of the SYNOP program.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Gulf of Alaska. Data was collected from R/V LITTLE DIPPER. The data was collected over a period spanning from January 28, 1992, to May 25, 1994. Oceanographic time series CTD data in 33 files was submitted in a diskette by Dr. Thomas C. Royer, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK. CTD data is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.

Current meter data were collected using moored current meter casts in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska from April 4, 1991 to September 23, 1992. Data were submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of the Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F015) format.

The sound velocity data in this accession were collected from ship FLETCHER between January 1, 1994 and June 30, 1994 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. 101 sound velocity stripcharts and 41 radio logs were submitted to NODC by the US Navy, San Diego, CA.

The barometric pressure and other data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Louisiana-Texas (LATEX part B) Gulf of Mexico Eddy Circulation Study. LATEX B was carried out by researchers at Louisiana State University (LSU). The originator's data containing preliminary data tape from Cruise 941 was submitted to NODC by Ms. Marie Newman of LSU.

This collection contains temperature, depth and other data collected using bathythermograph (MBT/XBT) casts from numerous platforms in oceans and seas around the world from 1947-08-14 to 1992-01-04. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC Bathythermograph XBT Selected Depths (SBT/C125) format.

This collection contains temperature, depth, and other data collected using bathythermograph (XBT) casts from numerous platforms in oceans and seas around the world from 1965-07-28 to 1993-06-04. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC Ocean Temperature Profile (C116) Data from Expendable Bathythermographs (XBT) format.
