This dataset contains physical data collected on R/V Weatherbird II during cruises WB0409, WB0413, WB0506, and WB0508 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2004-06-24 to 2005-08-23. These data include depth and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Fluorometer and SeaWiFS Profiling Multi-Channel Radiometer. These data were collected by David Siegel of University of California-Santa Barbara as part of the "Eddies Dynamics, Mixing, Export, and Species composition (EDDIES)" project and "Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-01-20.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Satlantic profiling radiometer system (SPMR/SMSR)

Dataset Description:
Please refer to the separate document for the . DMO note: appropriate wavelengths are listed with each parameter; 9.9E+35, -999, NA, and blank cells replaced with 'nd'; time_begin and time_end reformated from hours and decimal minutes to hhmm.
