Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature, salinity, and others taken by CTD from NOAA Ship David Starr Jordan, NOAA Ship McArthur II, and others in the Northeast Pacific Ocean (limit-180) and TOGA Area - Pacific from 1996-07-22 to 2010-12-07 (NCEI Accession 0240179)

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and others taken by CTD from NOAA Ship David Starr Jordan, NOAA Ship McArthur II, and others in the Northeast Pacific Ocean (limit-180) and TOGA Area - Pacific from 1996-07-22 to 2010-12-07. Data were collected using standard Sea-Bird SBE-9plus CTD, to 1000m or to 10m of bottom depth. Conductivity, temperature, pressure, and dissolved oxygen sensor calibrations were adjusted by Sea-Bird recommended procedures when possible. Details are in metadata documents. Each cast is represented by two text files: a header file (hdr) and data file (asc).
