Title: Physical profile data collected from CTD casts from the WECOMA in the Equatorial Pacific during cruise WE-09-01 to service the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array from 2009-09-16 to 2009-10-02 (NCEI Accession 0120332)
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).
