Title: Oceanographic Station Profile Time Series Data on CD-ROM (NODC Accession 0095191)
Abstract: The National Oceanographic Data Center and the World Data Center-A for Oceanography have compiled from the NODC Oceanographic Station Data File a set of oceanographic data having repetitive samples along ocean sections or at fixed stations for long time periods. These oceanographic station time-series include temperature, salinity, density, and nutrient data. The total time-series data set contains: 27 North Pacific sections; 56 North Atlantic sections; sections along coastal California from the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigations (CALCOFI); 19 sections from other ocean regions; and data from the 10 Ocean Weather Stations.

The CD-ROM contains both data and inventory files. Each inventory file is sorted by NODC Reference Number. The data on this disc are stored as ASCII records in the NODC Oceanographic Station Data (SD2) format.

Copies of this disc is currently available via the NODC Online Store at http://ols.nndc.noaa.gov/plolstore/plsql/olstore.prodspecific?prodnum=
