CTD and Transmissometer data from JGOFS Programs: Equatorial Pacific (EqPac), Antarctic Polar Front Zone (APFZ), North Atlantic Bloom Experiment (NABE), Arabian Sea cruise, the Hawaii Oceanographic Time-Series (HOT), and the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series (BATS). Data collected during 1990s. Data were post-processed in Texas A & M University and submitted to JGOFS archives.

This data collection includes characteristics of bottom cores collected in support of this research program to gain better knowledge of the benthic communities of the deep Gulf of Mexico, 2000 - 2001. Funding provided by USDI/MMS Contract No. 1435-01-99-CT-30991 for the US Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service-sponsored program entitled The Deepwater Program: Northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Slope Habitat and Benthic Ecology. Principal investigators: Dr. Gilbert T. Rowe, Dr. Mahlon C. Kennicutt, et. al., Texas A & M University.

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) data were collected using bottle casts in a world wide distribution. Data were collected from 02 September 1998 to 02 November 2003. Data were collected and submitted by University of Miami; Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science with support from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment.

Zooplankton data were collected using plankton net tows in the Narragansett Bay. Data were collected from 24 October 2001 to 22 October 2003 by Providence College.

Pressure/temperature/salinity profiles collected in support of a study to investigate the shallow and deep current variability in the southwest Japan/East Sea. Previous data were collected during the field experiment with a two-dimensional array of pressure-gauge equipped inverted echo sounders (PIES) and deep recording current meters (RCM) (NCEI Accession 0002331). Hourly measurements of vertical acoustic travel time, pressure, temperature and horizontal currents are provided. Additional processing has been done to provide data sets which can easily be used together as a coherent array.

This NCEI accession contains data collected from the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration Hidden Ocean cruise in the Arctic Ocean from the USCGC Healy. Data were collected from 2005-06-26 to 2005-07-26 and include ocean profiles from XBT and CTD casts, current data from ADCPs and temperature and salinity data from the shipboard thermosalinograph. Satellite images and a digital movie taken from the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) are also included in this accession.
