High-resolution CTD/STD data from NOAA Ship Whiting in the Gulf of Mexico from 1992-04-02 to 1992-07-14 (NCEI Accession 9300187)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:53 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 16, 2023 at 12:00 AM
The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Gulf of Mexico by SEACATs deployed in the area. Data was collected from NOAA Ship WHITING during 7 casts. The data was collected over a period spanning from April 2, 1992 to July 14, 1992. Data was submitted in one diskette by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC. F022 High-resolution CTD data is collected from high resolution (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.
