Title: Physical profile data collected from CTD casts from the KA'IMIMOANA in the Equatorial Pacific during cruise KA-07-02 to service the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array from 2007-05-11 to 2007-06-03 (NODC Accession 0120318)
Abstract: As part of the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) Program, the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) was responsible for the at-sea collection, quality control and processing, and delivery of these CTD data in netCDF files to the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). NDBC collected these CTD data during a cruise to service the TAO array of moorings.
