The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data were collected as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research (TIGER) program. One week of data was collected from Gulf of Mexico using Ship GYRE. The data was collected over a period spanning from March 2, 1991 to March 9, 1991. Data was collected as part of a study supported by grant MMS # 14-35-0001-30501 to Dr. Douglas C. Biggs and was submitted by Dr. Edward Webb of Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.

The water depth, temperature and other data was collected as part of Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies from ships Discoverer and Oceanographer. The data was collected from ship RUSH. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT and MBT), OSD and CTD data containing 391,748 profiles was submitted in four tapes by Mr. Robert S. Rushton of Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), Stennis Space Center, MS.

Temperature profile, sound velocity, and other data were collected using Inverted Echo Sounder (IES) and CTD casts from the COLUMBUS ISELIN in the TOGA Area - Atlantic Ocean. Data were collected from 24 January 1987 to 07 October 1991 by Lamont - Doherty Geological Observatory.

The current, temperature and wind data in this accession was collected over a four year period from 48 current meters fixed from 8 moorings as part of Equatorial Pacific Ocean Climate Studies. The arrays of current meters were deployed in TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S). The data was collected by University of Southern California, Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) from April 9, 1991 to May 8, 1995. The current meter data from arrays EP26-EP29 was submitted by NDBC via Sid Stillwaugh to NODC.

The water depth and temperature data was collected from 26 different ships by the Argentine Oceanographic Data Center (AODC) within the Argentine Continental Shelf. The data was collected from May 24, 1954 to December 17, 1993. The originator's bathythermograph (XBT and MBT) data was submitted by Dr. Adolfo J g. Villanueva, AODC, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Format documentation is provided with the data.

The water depth and temperature data was collected as part of Global Temperature- Salinity Pilot Project (GTSPP) using 13 different ships by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The data was collected for the year 1994. The originator's 2,715 drop profiles containing bathythermograph (XBT) data files were submitted by Ann Gronell in GTSPP format via FTP. This data has been replaced. Once on June 6, 1997 and again on July 2, 1997. The last time for hemisphere error.

The Master Oceanographic Observation Data Set (MOODS), maintained by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, is the standard Navy database for oceanographic observations. Data contained in MOODS include observations of thermal and chemical properties of the water column from surface to bottom, the biota and currents in the water column, and the underlying sea floor as collected by oceanographic agencies worldwide. Data was collected between October 4, 1955 and March 30, 1995. 11 ASCII files of MOODS data 148 megabytes collated by Richard D.

This collection includes data collected from multiple platforms in the coastal waters of California over many years, as part of the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation (CalCOFI) project. CalCOFI has been observing the California Current since 1949 to understand and predict the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems.

This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Cave. The data include parameters of speleothems (trace metals) with a geographic location of Global. The time period coverage is from 1989850 to -67 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.
