    • Oceanographic field observations off North Carolina, summer survey: ocean outfall waste water disposal feasibility and planning study from 1976-05-22 to 1978-05-23 (NCEI Accession 8000016)

    Metadata Updated: July 1, 2025

    Nutrients, temperature profile, waste disposal, and ocean circulation data were collected using CTD from the JOHN DEWOLF in the coastal waters of North Carolina from 22 May 1976 to 23 May 1978. Data were collected and submitted by Dr. Robert H Weisburg of North Carolina State University. The nutrients includes nitrite, phosphate, oxygen, and silicate.

    Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard High-Resolution CTD/STD (F022) format.

    The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-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 1m. 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. A text record is available for comments.
