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.

The dynamic and sometimes vulnerable nature of the California coastal kelp resource, critical as habitat and food for hundreds of related species, required the development of systematic methods for accurately assessing its extent and vitality. Until 1989, the California state-wide coastal kelp resource had only been sporadically mapped and analyzed since an initial state-wide visual survey conducted in 1915 (Rigg 1915).

This dataset includes the species composition of marine diatoms and dinoflagellates from Scripps Pier. It also includes the absolute abundance and temporal variation of dinoflagellates and diatoms from 1992-2000.

Temperature profile, conductivity, and wind direction/speed data were collected using meteorological sensors and CTD casts from NOAA Ship ALBATROSS IV in the North Atlantic Ocean and Bay of Fundy from August 13, 2005 to November 4, 2005. Data were collected and submitted by the NOAA; Office of NOAA Corps Operation as part of the NOAA Shipboard Sensor Data Acquisition (NSSDAC) project.
