Temperature and salinity profiles from CTD casts from the WECOMA in the Coastal Waters of Western U.S. and NE Pacific from 1989-10-08 to 1989-10-27 (NCEI Accession 9200139)

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
CTD (depth, temperature, conductivity) data, plus fluorescence and light transmission data, collected as part of SLIX (Surface Biological Oil Slick Experiment) by the R/V WECOMA in the eastern north Pacific between October 8, 1989 and October 27, 1989. All data were submitted on a floppy disc as ASCII files in a columnar format. The file README.DOC describes the data collection and recording methods. Principal Investigator was Dr. David Carlson of Oregon State University Location. CTD data were collected with a Neil Brown MK III; this data has been processed and archived by NODC in F022-CTD Hi resolution file format.
