These datasets show acoustically detected fish densities throughout the Caribbean ocean. NOAA/NCCOS collected these datasets to help characterize broad-scale fish abundance, biomass, and understand temporal behavior.

Acoustic data was collected aboard NOAA Ship Nancy Foster using 120-7C splitbeam transducer during cruise # NF08-01, NF09-01, NF10-03, NF11-01, NF12-01, NF13-01, and NF14-01. The hull mounted Simrad 120-7C transducer was calibrated to factory standards and environmental parameters where applied during acquisition.

A mooring was deployed at a depth of 3100 meters in the Lofoten Basin of the Nordic Seas with the aim of measuring water properties and currents over a two-year period. There were two mooring deployments: the first from July 2010 to May 2011 and the second from May 2011 to September 2012. The moorings were equipped with SBE-37SM MicroCATs, Nortek Aquadopps, and TRDI ADCPs.

XBT data were collected during a Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center's Cetacean Research Program's shipboard cetacean survey (Cruise ID SE 13-03). XBT casts were conducted three times each day (morning, midday, afternoon) along the transect lines within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. If wind and swell conditions prevented a CTD cast, an XBT cast was conducted. Lockheed Martin Sippican Deep Blue XBTs were used. The terminal depth is 760 m.

XBT data were collected during a Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center's Cetacean Research Program's shipboard cetacean survey (Cruise ID SE 11-08). XBT casts were conducted three times (morning, midday, afternoon) along the transect lines within the Palmyra EEZ and during the transit between Oahu and the Palmyra EEZ. If wind and swell conditions prevented a CTD cast, an XBT cast was conducted. Lockheed Martin Sippican Deep Blue XBTs used (terminal cast depth was 760 m)

The synoptic monthly gridded Gulf of Mexico dataset (SMG-GM) provides 3D gridded (T, S) and absolute geostrophic velocity (u,v) fields in monthly increment from WOD profiles using the Optimal Spectral Decomposition (OSD) and the P Vector methods. The SMG-GM data has 0.25 degree horizontal resolution and 84 vertical levels from the surface to 3700 m depth, which is the same as the WOA2013 (T, S) fields.

The dataset (called EWG-V) comprises 3D gridded climatological fields of absolute geostrophic velocity inverted from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Joint U.S.-Russian Atlas of the Arctic Ocean using the P-vector method. It provides a climatological velocity field that is dynamically compatible to the EWG (T, S) fields. The EWG-V velocity fields have the annual, and seasonal (winter and summer) means with the same horizontal resolution of 25 km and 90 vertical levels as the EWG temperature and salinity fields.

The dataset (called PHC-V) comprises 3D gridded climatological fields of absolute geostrophic velocity of the Arctic Ocean inverted from the Polar science center Hydrographic Climatology (PHC) temperature and salinity fields (version 3.0) using the P-vector method. It provides climatological annual, seasonal, and monthly mean velocity fields with the same horizontal resolution (1 deg in horizontal, 33 levels in vertical), and dynamical compatibility to the PHC3.0 (T, S) fields.

CTD data were collected during a Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center's Cetacean Research Program's shipboard cetacean survey (Cruise ID OES 06-03). CTD casts were conducted twice daily (sunrise and sunset) along the survey trackline. Casts were made to depths of 500 m.

Time series datasets collected by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program from 1975 to the present. The data were collected to address specific research questions and were primarily collected over durations less than a year, using stationary platforms, with sensors near the sea floor. Some of the measurements span the vertical extent of the water column, but others are limited to the area less than 5 meters above the sea floor. These data have been used to study of ocean dynamics and to validate coastal ocean models.

The Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) is a state agency that operates a unique and innovative ocean science and Technology park in Kailua-Kona on the island of Hawaii. It supports an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) facility at Keahole Point on the west coast of the Island of Hawaii. Five stations along six transects have been established where quasi-quarterly surface water measurements are acquired for temperature, salinity, bacteria, and 11 water chemistry parameters within 1993 to 2017 from small boats.
