High-resolution CTD/STD data from NOAA Ship Discoverer, NOAA Ship Mt. Mitchell, and NOAA Ship Whiting in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean from 1991-05-27 to 1991-09-05 (NCEI Accession 9200034)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:51 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 15, 2023 at 12:00 AM
The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other SEACAT data were collected from Gulf of Mexico, NE Pacific (limit-180). Data was collected from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER, NOAA Ship MT. MITCHELL, and NOAA Ship WHITING. The data containing 7 casts was collected over a period spanning from May 27, 1991 and September 5, 1991. Data was submitted in three diskettes by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. This data set contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1 m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t) and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC.
