    • Water physics and chemistry data from XBT casts from the OCEAN PRINCE and other platforms as part of the Ocean Dumping project from 1976-12-04 to 1977-10-27 (NCEI Accession 7800049)

    Metadata Updated: December 1, 2023

    Water physics and chemistry data were collected from XBT casts from the OCEAN PRINCE and other platforms from 04 December 1976 to 27 October 1977. Data were submitted by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) as part of the Ocean Dumping project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F004 Water Physics and Chemistry format.

    The F004 format is used for data from measurements and analyses of physical and chemical characteristics of the water column. Among chemical parameters that may be recorded are salinity, pH, and concentration of oxygen, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, chlorophyll, and suspended solids. Physical parameters that may be recorded include temperature, density (sigma-t), transmissivity, and current velocity (east-west and north-south components). Cruise and station information, including environmental conditions of the study site at the time of observations, is also included.
