Source:  Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and other profile data received at NODC on 05/23/05 by Ricardo Locarnini,
from IFREMER, UNIVERSIT PIERRE ET MARIE CURIE, JAMSTEC, INSTITUTE OF OCEAN SCIENCES (Sidney, Canada), others.

See 00-REAME_A16N_2003A.txt, and 00_README_a22_2003a.txt in /0002190/about, chief scientists and pertinent information on 
data set.

***Information about the data format can be found in the CSV_format_description.html in the /about directory.****



File format:  CSV


NODC/OCL GODAR digitization format (comma-separated-values)
These data were manually entered into a MS Excel spreadsheet by NODC personnel and 
/or contractors from the original source.  The MS Excel spreadsheet was subsequently 
saved as the .xls file and as a comma-delimited ascii text in the .csv file.

Temperature, salinity and other measurements found in datasets OSD and CTD taken from the R
RS DISCOVERY (GLNE) (UK cruises 1962 to present), MELVILLE (AGOR-14) (R/V; call sign WECB; commissioned 
07/10/1968) and other platforms in the South Atlantic, North Pacific and other locations from 1992 to 
2004 (NODC Accession 0002190)
