The data in this accession were collected from Australian and New Zealand ships HMAS HOBART, HMAS PERTH, HMNZS SOUTHLAND, HMNZS CANTERBURY, HMNZS WAIKATO, WELLINGTON, FLINDERS and NEWCASTLE between April 8, 1993 and May 10, 1994. The real time data of water temperature at varying depth bathythermograph (XBT) was recorded in stripcharts by the Australian 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.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in NW Atlantic (limit-40 W). Data was collected from NOAA Ship WHITING. The data was collected over a period spanning from May 25, 1994 to July 23, 1994. Data from 10 CTD casts containing 234 records was submitted in a floppy diskette by Ms. Ruby Becker of 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 the Indian Ocean. Data were collected from Ship BARUNA JAYA I. The data were collected over a period spanning from July 1, 1991 and February 22, 1994. Data from 140 CTD casts containing 112,303 records were submitted on eight diskettes by two visitors from the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology, Indonesia to Ocean Climate Laboratory. Data was processed into NODC F022 High-Resolution CTD file format.

Ten data files containing 2,738 data records were submitted by Martien Baars to NODC/Ocean Climate Laboratory from the Netherlands Indian Ocean Programme. These Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) data are from three legs of the "Monsoon and Pelagic Systems" portion of the program. Data was collected between May 23, 1992 and February 4, 1993. No format description was provided.

The primary productivity and biological data in this accession were collected in the Indian Ocean by the Indian Ocean Data Center. Data was collected between February 22, 1976 and April 7, 1991. 1,080 Profiles of Chlorophyll/ Phaeophytin/ Primary Productivity data containing 4,518 records were submitted by J.S. Sarupria of Indian Ocean Biological Center, Cochin, India.

This dataset contains Bathythermograph (XBT) and Marine Mammal Sighting and Census data. The Marine Mammal Sighting and Census data type contains data from field observations of marine mammals obtained from aircraft and various other platforms. Data were collected as part of Distribution/Abundance of Marine Mammals in Gulf of Mexico (GULFCET I project) funded by grant no MMS 14-35-0001-30619. The data were collected over two year period from April 24, 1992 to June 10, 1994. 19 files of data containing 2,917 records was submitted by Dr.

CTD, current meter, meteorological buoy, and bottle data were collected from the Gulf of Mexico from the ALPHA HELIX and other platforms. Data were collected by Texas A&M University (TAMU) in support of LATEX A from 18 March 1993 to 23 September 1993. CTD parameters include temperature, salinity, and sigma-t. Current meter parameters include E/W velocity (U), N/S velocity, temperature, and conductivity. Bottle data includes concentrations of dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrite, nitrate, silicate, ammonium, urea, chlorophyll-a, and suspended particulate material.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Coastal Waters of California by NOAA Ship DAVID STARR JORDAN. Data were collected over a period from April 10, 1987 to May 23, 1994. CTD Data from 3,380 casts was received from Kenny Baltz of National Marine Fisheries Service, Tiburon, CA via Norm Hall by NODC.

Sound velocity data in this accession were collected from USS STUMP DD-978 in August 1994 by US Navy. The sound velocity data is represented as analog profiles recorded on stripcharts. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These were radioed every two hours to a US Navy facility, with one profile per strip chart. Some strip charts have time/date/ship id/latitude/longitude annotated on the strip chart. Twenty seven stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by the US Navy, San Diego, CA.

The sound velocity data in this accession were collected from ship BARRY between August 1, 1993 and August 31, 1994 by US Navy. The sound velocity in water analog profiles data that were recorded in stripcharts. Radio logs are forms that contain time, weather latitude/longitude, vessel id, ship id, etc. These were radioed every two hours to a US Navy facility. One line per strip chart. Some strip charts have time/date/ship id/latitude/longitude annotated on the strip chart. Ninety stripcharts and radio logs were submitted to NODC by the US Navy, San Diego, CA.
