Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature, salinity, and oxygen data taken by CTD and water sampling from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown, cruise RB-20-07, in the Northwestern Tropical Atlantic from 2020-12-04 to 2020-12-10 (NCEI Accession 0228396)

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and oxygen data taken by CTD and water sampling from NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the North Atlantic Ocean. Cruise RB-20-07 in 2020 had the objective to service a number of moored platforms for the MOVE project (Meridional Overturning Variability Experiment). To calibrate and validate the mooring data, CTD casts with salinity and oxygen water samples were collected; these data are reported here. The CTD sensor data have been quality-controlled and adjusted using the water sample data. The raw CTD data are available as separate files. Data are in NetCDF.
